All answers should be rounded to the nearest whole number.1. Algebraically, determine what price Katrina\u2019s Candies should charge in order for the company to maximize profit in the short run. 2. Determine the quantity that would be produced at this price and the maximum profit possible. 3. Optional extension for all to consider: Suppose Katrina\u2019s Candies is a monopolist. Instead of maximizing profit in the short run, the firm prefers to use \u201climit pricing\u201d to keep potential competitors out of the market. What shouldKatrina\u2019s limit price be? Under what conditions would it be an effective deterrent?(Hint: To find the limit price, PL,set ATC = MC and solve for Q. Next, substitute this value of Q into the P equation to solve for PL. The limit price strategywillbe an effective barrier to entry as long as PLis below the potential competitor\u2019s price. ) Identify the criteria for a \u201cshut down\u201d and apply it to the following scenario: Suppose a firm sells 500 units per month at $50 per unit. Its fixed costs per month are $30,000 and its variable costs per month are $15,000. Would you advise this firm to continue operating in the short run?
