16. Revenue with Substitutable Products. The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. The sales of these products are not inde- pendent; if the price of one increases, the sales of the other increases. In economics. these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to estab- lish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and price (P) of each model: NA 195 0.6PA + 0.25PB N = 301+0.08PA-0.5PB a. Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. b. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in incre- ments of $10.

6. Al's Appliancemart has market power in selling refrigerators. He just got in a shipment of undamaged refrigerators. Al has determined that there are two different types of buyers. One group are high demanders who have a more inelastic demand but tend to be picky about how nice their appliances look (they won't buy a dented one). Other buyers, low demanders, have a relatively more elastic demand, but also don't mind having a refrigerator with some dents. He pays $600 for each refrigerator from his supplier. 3/3 He has calculated that the high and low demander demand functions follows: Low: P = 1,000-0.5QL (QL = 2,000 - 2P) High: P = 1,600 - QH (QH = 1,600 – P) How much profit could Al earn if he sells them as is? How many should he add dents to (with a hammer) in order to maximize profit? What price would he then put on the non-dented and the dented refrigerators and how many would he sell of each? What would his profit then be?
As competitors enter a market, demand becomes more meaning the demand curve shifts and becomes O elastic: in: flatter O elastic; out; flatter O inelastic; in; stceper O inclastic: cout flatter
. UT Sports, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of World Cup Kits. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q= 8400 – 420 P Where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many KITs could UT sell at $25.2 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 7,560 KITs? Suppose UT were to use the KITs as a promotion. How many KITs could UT give away free? At what price would no KITs be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $ 25.2.
You have just opened a new grocery store. Every item you carry is generic (generic beer, genericbread, generic chicken, etc.). You recently read an article in the Wall Street Journal reporting thatthe price of recreation is expected to increase by 15 percent and cross price elasticity is 0.15. will this affect your store’s salesof generic food products?

Hans is a butcher in Washington. The following contains data on prices and weekly sales at his shop Good Beef Chicken Price 9.00/lbs $4.00/lbs Quantity 400 lbs 300 lbs ShS He estimates that the own price elasticity for beef is 2 and for chicken is .75. He also estimates that the cross price elasticity for chicken is .60. His current revenue from the sale of these two goods is making a total of $4800/week. In the spirit of the return to good times and outdoor grilling, he has decided to lower the price of beef for the summer, from $9.00 to $8.55. Overall, Hans can expect to take in dollars in revenue, given the information in this problem? (Revenue = Price x sales). Record your answer without a dollar sign and without a comma. Helpful Hint: In this problem, we are not changing the price of chicken.
