1. You are running a (small) chain of gourmet burger joints with two locations (San Antonio and Laredo) You have been charging $10 for your burger meal (fries, burger and soft drink). Across both locations, you sell 2400 meals per week at this price. When you raised the price to $13 for the burger meal, your sales across the two locations fell to 1800 meals per week. For your costs, you have fixed costs of $3000 per week across the two locations. In addition, it costs you six dollars per burger in variable costs (ingredients, labor etc.) A. What is your combined cost function across the two locations? B. Using the two prices above, estimate your combined demand function across the two locations? C. Using the combined demand function and cost function calculated above, calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantities? D. What are your (combined) weekly profits across the two locations?
