Some Econ Questions

<p>I have some questions about these three Micro problems. I have the answers, but I’m not sure why they are correct. Can anyone explain? If not, is there anywhere I can go to get help on the web? There used to be a site where you could get live homework help but they’ve shut that down. Thanks!</p>
