Profit Maximization And Demand Analysis  The following data refer to the costs of a firm and the demand for its product.        Quantity sold      Price  £      Total cost  £         1      34      12         2      30      20         3      27      34         4      25      53         5      23      75         6      21      102         7      19      131      Requirements:  Using BOTH your knowledge of economic theory AND the data above,  (a) Calculate for each level of output the marginal cost the marginal revenue.   b) Calculate the level of profit at EACH level of output AND identify the profit-maximizing level of output.    (c)Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the good for a price fall from £25 to £23.   (d) Identify the factors which might explain the value of the elasticity of demand for       this good.               Explain how you would  expect the demand curve for this firm to vary if the number of firms in the  industry were to rise.
