question 16

Short Answer

Scenario 16-3
Peter operates an ice cream shop in the center of Fairfield.

Peter's demand and cost values for sales per day are given in the table below. (Everyone who purchases Peter's ice cream buys a double scoop cone because it's so delicious.)
-Refer to Scenario 16-3. What price should Peter charge to maximize his profits?
