The table shows the relationship for a hypothetical firm between its advertising expenditures and the quantity of its out-put that it expects it can sell at a fixed price of $5 per unit.
Advertising Quantity Sold at P = $5/IN Expenditures (millions) Million Units $1 8 $1.2 9 $1.4 9.4 $1.6 9.6 $1.8 9.7 a. In economic terms, why might the relationship between advertising and sales look the way it does?
BAssume that the marginal costs of producing this product (not including the advertising costs) are a constant $4. How much advertising should this firm be doing? What economic principle are you using to make this decision?
