Document Summary

Administrative law is able to regulate morality more coercively/differently than the criminal law. Can provide safe space to minority communities, provide specialized functions, more comfortable to get a book from there, supportive atmosphere, has a different social function. Canada customs key agency regulating bookshops (about 75% of shipments to gay/lesbian bookstores in 1980s detained or seized); most was given back to stores eventually, claimed it was on purpose to make bookstores lose money. Here, legal regulation of morality acts directly on representations (culture) and on spaces (location of bookstore), and indirectly on persons/groups (customers, owners) Being targeted by customs then places shops in high risk category (profiling logic); detaining books makes gay bookstores high risk. Double standard (canadian materials have more freedom than us made ones) not a problem in administrative law, by contrast with criminal law. Vast majority of books magazines etc. sold in bookstores are not published in canada.

1.) A firm that sells e-books - books in digital form downloadable from the Internet - sells all e-books relating to do-it-yourself topics (home plumbing, gardening, and so on) at the same price. At present, the company can earn a maximum annual profit of $20,000 when it sells 25,000 copies within a yearâs time. The firm incurs a 30-cent expense each time a consumer downloads a copy, but the company must spend $145,000 per year developing new editions of the e-books. The company has determined that it would earn zero economic profits if price were equal to average total cost, and in this case it could sell 25,000 copies. Under marginal cost pricing, it could sell 105,000 copies.

A.) In the short run, what is the profit-maximizing price of e-books relating to do-it-yourself topics? $___

B.) At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the average total cost of producing e-books? $___

2.) The table below gives price and cost information for a used-book. It competes with a number of similar stores, but it capitalizes on its location and the word-of-mouth reputation of the coffee it serves to its customers.
