Question 1 Sal's Streaming Company streams TV shows to subscribers in the US and Canada. Demand is Qus 50 (1/3)Pus - QCA 80 (2/3)P CA = - where Q's are in thousands of subscriptions per year and P's are the subscription prices per year. The cost of providing Q units of service is given by TC = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qus+ QCA (a) What are the profit-maximizing prices and quantities for the US and Canadian markets? (b) As a consequence of a new VPN service that Facebook has developed, subscribers in Canada are now able to get the US streams and vice versa, so Sal can charge only a single price. What is the profit-maximizing single price that he should charge? (c) In which situation is Sal better off? In terms of consumers' surplus which situation do people in Canada prefer and which do people in the US prefer? Why?
Each firm in a perfectly competetive market has a long-run total cost of LRTC = 100g – 10q + 100. The market demand is Q* = 2150 – 5P. At the long-run equilibrium price, how many firms will there be in the market? (а) 500 (b) 1,000 (c) 1,200 (d) 2,000 (e) 2,400

The publisher of a magazine gives his staff the following information: Current price Current sales Current revenue Current total costs $2.00 per issue 150,000 copies per month $300,000 per month $450,000 per month He tells the staff, "Our costs are currently $150,000 more than our revenues each month. I propose to eliminate this problem by raising the price of the magazine to $3.00 per issue. This will result in our revenue being exactly equal to our cost." Refer to the table above, which of the following statements is correct? The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is unit elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly inelastic.
3. Gazelle Corp, a sports shoe firm, is currently selling 800 pairs of a certain shoe per month. It is currently charging a price of £40, but this has recently been reduced from £45, because sales were only reaching 750 units per month. Its total costs are £28,000 per month, and these have risen £1500 due to the increase in sales. a) Derive the cost and demand functions for the firm, assuming these are both linear. b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the current price. c) Comment on the firm's existing strategy in terms of profit maximization, without doing any calculations. d) Calculate the profit-maximizing price and output. e) Calculate the amount of profit that the firm is currently foregoing.
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. 4.00 3.50 Monopoly Outcome 3.00 2.50 Profit ATC 2.00 Loss 1.50 1.00 MC 0.50 MR 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Dmitri says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a…
Problem Set #2 (Note: On this problem, use EXCEL to generate numbers. Please replace the below table with your answers ON THIS SHEET. Similarly, in the rest of the assignment use EXCEL and insert figures and tables from EXCEL onto this sheet. 1. Consider the total profit function π = TR (31-Q)Q = TC (20+Q+2Q²) Create a table that shows Total Revenue, Total Cost and Total Profit, (in your table, let quantity run from 0 to 10 in increments of 1.) Indicate in where total profits are maximized your table
(Please attempt thus question if you will provide Solution for both questions below...thanks) 1) If a firm wanted to reduce the annual EOQ cost as a percentage of the annual purchase cost by 50 percent, how would the demand rate have to change? A) Decrease by 50 percent. B) Remain unchanged. C) Increase by 50 percent. D) Double. E) Quadruple. Select correct option and explain answer with Calculation. 2) A firm evaluates its EOQ quantity to equal 180 cases, but it chooses an order quantity of 200 cases. Relative to the order quantity of 180 cases, the order quantity of 200 cases has A) higher ordering cost and higher holding cost. B) higher ordering cost and lower holding cost. C) lower ordering cost and higher holding cost D) lower ordering cost and lower holding cost.

Q1. Given cost function f(x) = 1/2(c)(x2), where c>0, and demand curve y(z) = z-a, where a > 1 a). Compute price elasticity of demand. b). Draw a diagram showing marginal cost and marginal revenue c). Find price and output that maximize profits d). Find the markup (price divided by marginal cost). Does it increase or decrease based on elasticity of demand?
