A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 - 0.02 x Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (ie., per printing) = $46,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than 3,000 units per year. The maximum profit that can be achieved is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The unit price at the point of optimal demand is $ per unit. (Round to the nearest cent.) Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.
Jim’s diner is just about to open in Memphis, Tennessee. However, Jim is trying to decide whether he wants to offer Coke or Pepsi soda products. He determines that, to offer either product, he will have to spend $1,800 in sunk costs to purchase and install the appropriate paraphernalia, e.g., a large Coca-Cola or Pepsi sign out front. Ultimately, he chooses to offer Coke products and agrees to pay Coke 5 cents per ounce of Coke sold for the right to use its product. After Jim makes the investments specific to his soda choice, Coke returns and asks for a fixed (one-time) fee in addition to the 5 cents per ounce. What is the most Jim should be willing to pay?
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: guppy gumdrops, raskels, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gumdrops decreases by 12%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 27% and the quantity of cannies sold increases by 3%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gumdrops and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity…
A diner has no competition when it comes to it's famous reuben sandwich combo plate, for which the graph shows the diners demand (d), marginal cost (mc), and marginal revenue (mr), curves. The price of $20 is based on the mr = Mc rule for profit maximazation. The rectangular region shown represents the net revenue from sales of the sandwich (total revenue from reuben combo sales minus total variable costs associated with reuben combo sales). Now, suppose the diner decides to raise the price during the lunch hour, which accounts for 60% of reuben combo sales, knowing that it's lunch-hour patrons are the most loyal buyers of the reuben combo and also that they are locked into the lunchtime slot by their work schedules. The diner raises the price just enough not to lose any lunch-hour buyers. Use the area tool to outline the region representing the resulting additional net revenue from the price increases. Part 2: As a result of the revised price structure, the diners net revenue…
QUESTION 10 Mary is the only one in town who can make red velvet cupcakes. Each cupcake costs her $4 to make (i.e. her marginal cost is constant at $4 per cupcake). Currently, Mary charges $4.50 for a cupcake. Below is the table of potential prices she could charge and the corresponding quantities. Price ($/cupcake) 6.50 6.00 5.50 5.00 4.50 4.00 Quantity (cupcakes) 30 42 56 72 92 105 Answer the following questions: a. What is Mary's marginal revenue when the price is $4.50 per cupcake? Answer to the nearest two decimal places. $ per cupcake. b. At a price of $4.50 per cupcake, should Mary decrease or increase the number of cupcakes sold to maximise profit? Type D for Decrease or I for Increase. c. Calculate Mary's profit-maximising quantity of cupcakes to sell. Answer to the nearest whole number (with no decimal places). cupcakes.

Suppose you are working as the CEO of an airline. One of your airline's wide-body aircraft operates in a two-class configuration with 500 economy seats and 200 business seats. On the routes the wide-body aircraft flies, the airline's marginal cost per passenger is $1,000 in economy and $1,500 in business. According to the airline's internal data, the willingness to pay (WTP) of leisure pax for economy travel is $2,000, while their WTP for business travel is $2,500. On the other hand, business pax' WTP for economy travel is $4,500, while their WTP for business travel is $10,000. Finally, airlines charge different fares for economy and business, and there are more pax with WTP's as specified above than the number of seats in each class. The maximum certified capacity for this widebody aircraft is 500 seats in economy, so the airline cannot increase the number of seats in this class any further. But if airlines deliberately degrade service in economy even further (e.g. by offering less…

Suppose the Boston to Philadelphia airline route is serviced by three airlines – US Airways (Firm A) and JetBlue (Firm B) and Continental (Firm C). The demand for airline travel between these two cities is Q = 150 – p. The cost function is C(Q) = 30Q. The cost function is the same for all three airlines. Assume that the three airlines are making investments in airline capacity. In other words, they are simultaneously choosing quantity. (Cournot Competition) Derive US Airways’ residual demand function given JetBlue’s output, qB, and Continental’s output, qC. What is the Marginal Revenue for US Airways? Derive US Airways reaction function Derive the market equilibrium quantity, Q*, price, p*, and Profit.
Suppose that managers at Honda are deciding how to price the new Honda Accord. The managers estimate that their total costs increase by $20,000 for each car they produce. They also estimate the demand curve they face; it is described by the equation: Q = -0.4 P + 16,000, where Q represents the quantity of Honda Accords they will sell and P represents the price they charge in US dollars. We can re-write that demand curve as: P = 40,000 - 2.5 Q. Take every possibly quantity that the managers might choose between and 7,000 in units of 100. For each possible quantity, calculate the associated price the managers would need to charge, the revenue they would earn, and the total costs. You can then calculate profits for each level of quantity. Highlight the cell that contains the highest value of profit. Finally, you can also approximate marginal revenue here as the change in total revenue after the next 100 cars are produced. At what quantity does marginal revenue roughly equal marginal cost?…
Elvira College has an enrollment of 1,000 students and is located in a small Midwestern town named Johnsonville. Johnsonville has a total population of 2,500 people. The nearest town is 20 miles away. Most of the residents shop locally, but they travel about once a month to the larger city and pick up the large-ticket items. Johnsonville has one fairly good-size supply store named Jameson's Grocery. The only other place in town where you might buy supplies is at the gas station/convenience store located on the edge of town. What competitive situation is Jameson's Grocery experiencing?Competitive Situation:Explanation:
