In addition to gasoline, the gas stations also sell convenience items, such as snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, and hot food. Suppose you work for a gas station and your boss asks you to develop a pricing strategy for bottled local wine. The demand function is ? = 100 – 4?, where ? is the monthly quantity demanded of the bottled wine and ? is the price of the bottled wine. The marginal cost per bottle of wine is $5. Complete the following tasks: 1) (Calculating) In the worksheet “Q2 Calculations” of the provided Excel file, enter formulas in columns B-D to calculate Q (quantity demanded), MC (marginal cost), and MR (marginal revenue). Please round your results to one decimal place. Note that the inverse demand function is ? = 25 − 0.25? and that the MR function can be derived from the inverse demand function using the formula introduced in Module 5. You may find it helpful to review the Excel file for Chapter 11.Ayana is pitching an idea for a startup company that makes and sells solar-powered phonechargers (C). Her market research has found that consumer demand for this product can beexpressed as a function of the price of the charger itself (PC), the price of phones (PF), andthe consmer’s income (I). Consumer demand can be described by the function C(PC, PF, I) =(i−10PC)/ (PF) Suppose her chargers come in all different capacities to meet any quantity demanded, so youdon’t need to worry about restricting C to whole numbers for this problem. (a) Does this product satisfy the law of demand?Explain. (b) Calculate consumers’ income elasticity as a function of the parameters. (c) Anaya is targeting a market whose income is expected to double over the next five years.Explain whether she should expect the demand for chargers to increase or decrease, andby how much, using the language of normal, inferior, luxury, and necessity goods.
