Answer:
Apples and Banana
a) Profit maximizing prices:
i) For Apple = $100
ii) For Banana = $40
b) Profits equal revenue minus costs:
i) For Apple = $100Q - (20 + 10Q) = $60Q
ii) For Banana = $40 - (26.5 + 5Q) = $8.50Q
c) To maximize profit, the price to charge is $100 for Apples and $40 for Banana.
d) I would expect to earn a profit of $68.50 for a set of apple and banana.
Explanation:
To maximize profit, Apple and Banana will be sold separately.
But, selling them together, the best profit maximizing prices will be $100 for Apples and $10 for Banana.
At this combined price, the banana still makes a contribution of $5 per unit towards offsetting the fixed cost of $26.50

Answer:
The operators have not violated the antitrust laws because they are only collaborating to lobby the government
Explanation:
The antitrust law in the U.S. can be described as a group of federal and state government laws enacted to regulate the activities of business firms in order to enhance competition to the advantage of consumers.
The antitrust law aims to collusive activities that suppress trade, any merger and acquisition that would reduce competition, and prevent the the abuse of monopoly power.
Since the activity of the operators of adult bookstores does not fall under what the antitrust law aims to prevent but it is just a collaboration to lobby the government, they have a good defense that they have not violated the antitrust laws.
