4. Swedish Automobiles Are the Best (SAAB) sells two types of vehicles: a truck and a car. The monthly inverse demand or price equation for trucks is estimated as P₁= 65. 0.05Q (where Qt is the number of trucks sold and Pt is the price per truck in thousands). For cars is: Pe=55-0.1Qc. It costs SAAB $27 (thousand) to produce each additional truck and $21 (thousand) to produce each additional car, so MCt = 27 and MC, = 21. Assume no fixed cost so TC = MCX Q. Suppose now that SAAB's production capacity is limited to 400 vehicles per month. Determine the profit-maximizing quantities of trucks (Q) and cars (Qc) and the total profit for each vehicle type with the new optimal quantities caused by the constraint.

You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $60,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross- price elasticity of demand between product Yand X is -1.4. How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar. Use a negative sign (-) if applicable. %24

Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. The demand for airline travel is quite sensitive to price. Typically, there is an inverse relationship to between demand and price; when price decreases, demand increases and vice versa. One major airline has found that when the price (p) for a round trip between Chicago and Los Angeles is $600, the demand (D) is 500 passengers per day. When the price is reduced to $400, demand is 1,200 passengers per day. Use a data table to estimate the price that maximizes total revenue.
Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
8. Substitutes, complements, or unrelated? You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin pops, flopsicles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin pops decreases by 10%, the quantity of flopsicles sold decreases by 9% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 9%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin pops and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following…
The market research department of the Better Baby Buggy Co. predicts that the demand equation for its buggies is given by q = −2.5p + 500 where q is the number of buggies it can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. At what price (in dollars) should it sell the buggies to get the largest revenue? p = $

2) Imagine that you have started a firm and own the patent for a new technology that allows for the 3D printing of food. This is a huge nutritional breakthrough since the printer can provide nutritional food for years. Since you are the first with this technology and have patented it, your firm is the only firm that can produce and sell this type of printer. There are no close substitutes for your printer and your data indicates weekly demand is given by the equation Qa = 9000 - 2P. a) Your production analysis indicates that your firm's cost function is C(Q) = F +Q². Illustrate the market, 2 showing the inverse demand curve, the MR curve and the MC curve. Then, compute and illustrate your firm's profit maximizing price and quantity of the printer. How low must the fixed cost be to ensure that the firm is making positive profits? Make sure to clearly label all relevant curves. Finally, what is the markup on the printer (measure markup in the following way: Price/MC)? b) Redraw the…
You own a bakery and shop that makes and sells gourmet doggie treats. You have done market research and you know with certainty that your product is a normal good, not an inferior good. The current demand function for your gourmet doggie treats is: QD = 480 -6*P which of course means the equation for your current demand curve is: P = 80 -(1/6)*Q You are opening a new shop in a new part of town, and you know that incomes in that part of town are much lower than incomes are where your shop is now. Which of the following is most likely the demand curve in your new shop? Multiple Choice O P=68- (1/6)*Q P = 102 - (1/6)*Q P=92-(1/6)*Q P = 88 - (1/6)*Q
A1). The price, p, that a bookstore charges for a special gift edition of a popular trilogy is related to the demand, q, by the equation 100pq + q? = 5,000,000. Suppose the price is currently set at $40. (a). At what rate is the demand currently changing with respect to this price? (Include units) (b). At what rate is the revenue currently changing with respect to this price? (Hint: use the chain rule). (Include units). (c). Suppose the demand is currently increasing at a rate of 50 copies per month. How fast is the price currently changing per month? (again, assume the price is currently $40).Include units.
