In a properly labelled diagram, draw Spartan Orchard's demand curve for apples. What is the predominant feature of this individual perfectly competitive firm's demand curve?
a. If Carl sells each calculator for $19, determine profit-maximizing output using the total approach.
b. At the same market clearing price of $19, determine Carl's profit-maximizing output using the marginal approach. Use the four-step method and detail the steps.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
