Problem 2 Refer to problem 1.(Problem 1: Auto Mart is a mythical seller of a variety of automobileparts and accessories. Auto Mart's owner, Jonathan Trott, wishes to determine the optimum order quantity for oneof the store's popular wiper blades. The annual demandfor the wiper blades is 16,000. The annual holding costper unit is US$2.50, and the cost to place an order is US$50:) Assuming that holding costs and ordercosts remain the same, if annual demand for wiper blades doubles to 32,000, does the EOQ also Double?

It has been mentioned that there should be a match of supply and demand in a company that produces spare parts.Department A can produce parts at a rate of 80/day.Department B uses those parts at the rate of 10/day.Each day unused parts are added to inventory.At what rate does inventory of unused parts buid up?
5 In a discussion with your friend, LeeAnna, you mentioned you have studied Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) as well as the various costs that impact production. LeeAnna, who happens to own a Pizza store is worried about the declining profitability of her store. She needs your advice on what she should do to increase her profit. Provide good economic advice to LeeAnna, using the concepts you have learned from your chapters 1 - 6 (especially paying close attention to PED and production costs). In your advice, put into consideration the nature of her competition, what variables impact the profit of an organization, and which of these variable(s) can the business owner control to increase profit? How can the PED of a product, in this case, pizza, impact how much price the owner of the store can change?
Suppose you are the managing director of a firm that produces two goods: A and B. The priceelasticity of demand for good A is 0.75 and for good B it is 2.5. The firm is experiencing seriouscash flow problems and you have to increase total revenue as soon as possible. If you were ina position to set the price for these two goods, what would be your pricing strategy for eachproduct?
Case study 1Oil pump price war Based on an article from The Telegraph, 10 July 2009 “Asda, the supermarket chain, sparked a potential petrol price war yesterday as it cut its fuel prices to 99.9p per litre, declaring there was “little justification” to charge more than £1 at the pumps.The reduction was made on petrol and diesel, representing an average cut of 2p and 1p respectively, at all the company’s 176 forecourts.The move was quickly followed by a pledge from Morrisons that it too would sell petrol for under £1 a litre, signalling the start of a price war. BP said it would cut prices by around 2p at many of its sites, and would continue to respond to local competition.A spokesman for the AA said: “Asda’s price drop marks the start of a new price war. Others will have no choice but to follow.”Asda’s Commercial director David Miles said: “There is no justification for any major retailer selling fuel above £1 per litre – that is why we are delighted to be able to reduce both petrol…
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?
The manager of the Sell-Rite drug store accidentally mismarked a shipment of 20- pound bags of charcoal at $3.15 instead of the regular price of $4.25. In a week, a total of 180 bags of charcoal was sold. The store normally sells an average of 120 bags per week. What is the store’s arc elasticity of demand for charcoal? Also make an economic interpretation of the elasticity figure.

The price of oil is currently over $80 per barrel and has been as high as $90 per barrel after Saudi Arabia and a couple of oter OPEC countries reduced output this year. The demand for oil is expected to increase by 1 million barely per day over the next year according to the International Energy Agency but OPEC+ has been unclear about its intentions of increasing oil supplies. a. If OPEC+ increases its production by million barrels per day, we can unambiguously say that the equilibrium price will fall, and the equilibrium quantity will rise.

Because the demand between points A and B is a $25-per-scooter increase in price will lead to in total revenue per week. In general, in order for a price increase to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be
