11. For most products, higher prices result in a decreased demand, whereas lower prices result in an increased demand (economists refer to such products as normal goods). Let d = annual demand for a product in units p = price per unit Assume that a firm accepts the following price-demand relationship as being a realistic representation of its market: d = 800 - 10p where p must be between $20 and $70. a. How many units can the firm sell at the $20 per-unit price? At the $70 per-unit price? b. What happens to annual units demanded for the product if the firm increases the per-unit price from $26 to $27? From $42 to $43? From $68 to $69? What is the suggested relationship between per-unit price and annual demand for the product in units? c. Show the mathematical model for the total revenue (TR), which is the annual demand multiplied by the unit price. d. Based on other considerations, the firm's management will only consider price alternatives of $30, $40, and $50. Use your model from part (b) to determine the price alternative that will maximize the total revenue. e. What are the expected annual demand and the total revenue according to your recommended price?

1. A company produces and sells a consumer product and is able to control the demand for the product by varying the selling price. The approximate relationship between price and demand is p= $38+ 2,700/D-5,000/D², for D> 1, where p is the price per unit in dollars and D is the demand per month. The company is seeking to maximize its profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month and the variable cost (c) is $40 per unit. a. What is the number of units that should be produced and sold each month to maximize total revenue? b. What is the number of units that should be produced and sold each month to maximize profit? c. What is the profitable range of the demand?
You are managing a firm with market power, and you think the price elasticity of demand for your product is between 1.3 and 1.5. You estimate that your marginal cost is between $50 and $75. The price that you should set would range between $ and $ (Round your answers to two decimal places.) If you refine your estimate of the marginal cost to $80, the price you should set would now range between $ and S. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
Deborah Kellogg buys Breathalyzer test sets for the Winter Park Police Department. The quality of the test sets from her two suppliers is indicated in the following table: For example, the probability of getting a batch of tests that are 1% defective from Winter Park Technology is .70. Because Kellogg orders 10,000 tests per order, this would mean that there is a .70 probability of getting 100 defective tests out of the 10,000 tests if Winter Park Technology is used to fill the order. A defective Breathalyzer test set can be repaired for $0.50. Although the quality of the test sets of the second supplier, Dayton Enterprises, is lower, it will sell an order of 10,000 test sets for $37 less than Winter Park. a) Develop a Decision Treeb) Which supplier should Kellog use? Percent Defective Probability for Winter Park Technology Probability for Dayton Enterprises 1 0.70 0.30 3 0.20 0.30 5 0.10 0.40
