1) The suggestion that a seller will try to set price based on what the market will bear is explicit recognition of the constraint imposed by
the price elasticity of demand for that item as the price elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in demand with respect to percentage change in price and it will enable the seller the set the price which will not cause an undesired change in the percentage change in demand for the good.
Option (B)

The firm has no fixed costs. = (a) If the average weekly household income is $600, find the firm's marginal revenue function. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of output? At what price will the firm sell that output? What will the firm's marginal cost be? (c)...
