- 3. Garibaldi Provincial Park is located between Squamish and Whistler. A travel cost survey was completed to estimate demand for trips to the park. Bascd on the survey an estimated demand function was derived to represent an average household: P= 200 – 50Q. This is demand per year per household. If there are approximately 2000 households with a travel cost of $150, 3000 households with a travel cost of $100, and 4000 households with a travel cost of $50, what is the total consumer surplus per year from the park?4. There is no demand for a certain make of one-time use camera when the unit price is $ 12. However, when the unit price is $ 8, the quantity demanded is 8000/week. The supplier will not market any cameras if the unit price is $ 2 or lower. At $ 4/camera, however, the manufacturer will make available 5000 cameras/week. Given that both the supply and demand equations are linear: (a) Determine the associated linear demand function (b) Determine the linear supply function. (c) At what price should the camera be sold so that there is neither a surplus nor a shortage?6.10. SpokenWord. Your software company has just completed the first version of Spo- kenWord, a voice-activated word processor. As marketing manager, you have to decide on the pricing of the new software. You commissioned a study to determine the poten- tial demand for SpokenWord. From this study, you know that there are essentially two market segments of equal size, professionals and students (one million each). Profes- sionals would be willing to pay up to $400 and students up to $100 for the full version of the software. A substantially scaled-down version of the software would be worth $50 to consumers and worthless to professionals. It is equally costly to sell any version. In fact, other than the initial development costs, production costs are zero. Although you know there are two market segments, you cannot directly identify a consumer as belonging to a specific market segment. (a) What are the optimal prices for each version of the software? Suppose that, instead of the…
- 1. Congratulations, you've been hired as a market analyst for the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP) and you will be responsible for monitoring the market for maple syrup. The market can be described by the following calibrated demand and supply functions: Qd = 1180-20P +2P, (1) (2) Qs = 50P-200 where P is the price of a 16oz bottle of syrup, Pį is the price for a bottle of maple flavored corn syrup, and Qd and Q, are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied of maple syrup. (a) How much maple syrup should the QMSP be prepared to give away if they decided to give maple syrup to everyone who wants it free of charge as a marketing ploy? (Hint: your answer will depend on Pt) Find the inverse demand and inverse supply equations. Determine the highest price at which suppliers would not be willing to sell any syrup. (b) Assuming that P, = 10, graph (inverse) supply and (inverse) demand for the market with a clearly labeled graph and calculate the equilibrium price (P*)…Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And " Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online." Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 30 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $0.50 per click and boasts a conversation rate of 5 percent ( an average of 20 percent clicks are needed to generate sale), the incremental cost of each sale is $50. What price should you change for the product? What is the markup? B) . The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product cycle, and (2) number of competitors. In fact, " When the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm's elasticity of demand is expected to double ( you should be able to verify this…You are the Economic Consultant for Zuku Farms Ghana Limited. Zuku produces cowpea in a community where producers are able to switch back and forth between cowpea and groundnut depending on market conditions. Consequently, you were tasked by the management of Zuku and you estimated the demand function for cowpea as follows: where is the quantity of cowpea demanded in bags per month, is the average price of cowpea in Ghana Cedis, is the average price of groundnut in Ghana Cedis, and Y is the income of consumers. Assuming is initially GH¢31.00 per bag, Y is GH¢1001.50. Also that your estimated supply function for cowpea is as follows: QS = -25 + 3.5PC -1.5Pf – 0.5Pg + 0.25R Where Qs is the quantity supplied of cowpea in bags, Pc and Pg are as defined above, Pf is the price of fertilizer per bag, R is the amount of rainfall (in inches). If Pf = GH¢10, R= 40 inches and Pg= GH¢31.00 Find the resulting supply function for cowpea and determine the equilibrium price and quantity.…
- Greentech- a high technological pharmaceutical company, has developed a clot-dissolving drug called TPA that will halt a heart attack in progress. TPA saves life, minimizes hospital stays, and reduces damage of the heart itself. It is priced at $ 2,200 per dose. What pricing approach does Greentech appear to be using? Is demand for this drug is likely to be elastic with price? Note: Please answer the question with points and exampleUrgent needed within 30min1. As an agriculture analyst for the Union of American Fruit Producers (UAFP), you are in charge of monitoring the US peach market. The market can be described by the following "calibrated" demand and supply functions: Qd = 1600-8P +8Pn Qs = 34P-102 (1) (2) where P is the price of a crate of peaches, Pn is the price for a crate of nectarines, and Qd and Q, are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied of peaches (measured in thousands of crates). (a) Find the inverse demand and inverse supply equations. Hypothetically, how many crates of peaches should UAFP expect consumers to buy if peaches are given away free of charge in a marketing campaign? If the price of a crate of peaches was to increase, at what price would buyers no longer be willing to buy any peaches? (Hint: your previous answers will be expressions that depend on the value of P) If the price of peaches was to decrease, at what price would the quantity of peaches supplied fall to zero? (b) Assuming that P₁ = $55,…In 2003, when music downloading first took off, Universal Music slashed the average price of a CD from $21 to $15.
