A company produces two types of can openers: Model I and Model 2. Each require the use of three machines: A, B and C. Model I requires 2 hours on machine A, 1 hour on machine B and 1 hour on machine C. Model II requires 1 hour on machine A, 2 hours on machine B and 1 hour on machine C.The maximum number of hours available for machine A, B and C are 180, 160 and 100 respectively. The profit on Model I is $4 and Model Il is $6. Write down the LP model. Identify the coordinates of the extreme points of the feasible region,

A company has a monopoly on themed vacations. It has two kinds of clients. After extensive market research, the monopolist has found that Americans' willingness-to-pay for vacations is given by Q = 50 –- P. Meanwhile, Europeans' willingness-to-pay is given by Q = 10 – P/4. In this question, we consider a brief period of time in which only one American and one European enter the firm's offices.
When Target charges $96 for a children's game, they sell 100 units. When they charge $85, they sell 120 units. If they were to give away the game for free, how many units (Q) would be demanded? (Answer is NOT infinity) Enter as a value. ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.
When there are low barriers to entry in a now profitable market, there may be a flood of alternative suppliers. This will cause a shift in the demand curve and price. Group of answer choices left, higher left, lower right, lower right, higher the
A city has two newspapers. Demand for either paper depends on its own price and the price of its rival. Demand functions for papers A and B respectively, measured in tens of thousands of subscriptions, are 21-2Pa + Pb and 21 + Pa-2Pb The marginal cost of printing and distributing an extra paper just equals the extra advertising revenue one gets from another reader, so each paper treats marginal costs as zero. Each paper maximizes its revenue assuming that the other's price is independent of its own choice of price. If the papers enter a joint operating agreement where they set prices to maximize total revenue, by how much will newspaper prices rise? (a) 3 (b) 2 (c) 0 (d) 3.5 (e) 2.5
Digital piracy. Suppose the British rock band Radiohead is about to release its new album In Rainbows. For now, assume the band cannot choose the price of the album, which is set at $10. The (marginal) cost to distribute each copy is $2. (a) If demand for the album is given by p = 100 - q, how many albums will be sold? What will profits be? (b) Draw the demand curve and indicate the price and quantity of albums sold using your answer to (a). Calculate deadweight loss and show this on your diagram too. (c) Suppose that the introduction of the Internet lowers distribution costs to $0 but also allows consumers to pirate the album for free. Assume that consumers who were not willing to pay $10 will pirate the album. If 50% of consumers that were prepared to pay $10 (or more) for the album also pirate for free, what will Radiohead's profits be? What is deadweight loss?
true or false The oligopolist reduces the price of the good by 10%, but the competitors reduced their prices by 8%. As a result, the oligopolist only attracts only an additional 5% consumers from his competitors, This will reduce the total revenue of the oligopolist.
In work-out problem 25.2, if the demand for pigeon pies is given by p(y) = 140 - y/4, then the level of output that will maximize Peter's profit is 56 560 284 840 None of the above
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
Suppose that there are two fancy hotels on the online booking platform, say W hotel and Ritz Carlton hotel. Each hotel has the capacity of 20 rooms on the New Year Eve. There are 20 families who are planning to stay at Bay Areas. Suppose that you are the manager and you set the price to maximize the hotel profit. The marginal cost of each hotel room = 500 RMB The largest valuation on the hotel room = 2000 RMB valuation decrease by 100RMS. In total, there are 20 families. Discuss with your peers how many rooms you will offer in the market.
A firm sells its product to two groups of buyers: daytime buyers and nighttime buyers. There are 50 daytime buyers, all of whom have identical demands given by DD in the figure. There are 50 nighttime buyers, all of whom have identical demands given by DN in the figure. The firm's variable costs are constant (SMC = AVC = $12) and its total fixed cost is $250,000. The marketing director must devise a two-part pricing plan that will maximize the firm's profit. Price and cost ($ per unit) 100 12 0 Do: PD 100 -0.5Q, Multiple Choice Quantity Panel A - One Daytime buyer's demand A* = $1,472 A* = $2,178 A* = $3,872 SMC = AVC A* = $4,356 200 A* = $7,744 100 Assuming both daytime and nighttime markets are served, the optimal fixed access charge (4*) is 0 DN: PN 100 - QN SMC=AVC 100 Quantity Panel B - One Nighttime buyer's demand
Exercise 2 Firm A and Firm B sell coffee and engage in Bertrand competition. They have a constant marginal cost equal to 10 and zero fixed costs. Total costs are therefore C₁ (9) = 10q, for i = A, B. (a) Suppose that consumers perceive the two brands of coffee as perfect substitutes; demand for firm i = A, B is then equal to Qi(Pi-Pj) 40 - Pi 0, 40-P, if p Pi if pi=Pj Describe what happens in equilibrium. Can firms make positive profits in equilibrium? (b) assume that consumers consider the two products as differentiated: demand for firm A is QA (PA, PB) = 40-2pA+PB and demand for firm B is QB (PB-PA) = 40-2p8+PA. Compute best response functions and characterize an equilibrium for this setting. Can firms make positive profits in equilibrium?
******ONLY ANSWER PART 3 IN PICTURE PLEASE**** Demand for Thunder games in Oklahoma City is given by: P(0)=430-20 Seattle does not currently have an NBA team, but they would like to attract the the Thunder. ok ok ok Demand for Thunder games in Seattle is given by: P (Q) = 490 -20 The marginal cost of production in both cities is constant at MC = 70. Suppose that the Thunder faces an extra fixed cost of 10000 in Seattle because they need to build a new stadium if they move. If the Thunder decides to stay in Oklahoma City, they don't need to pay the fixed cost. Cities can still offer bids to attract the team. a) Will the Thunder move to Seattle? b) How much is the winning bid? c) What is the profit plus bid for the Thunder? d) What is the value minus bid for the winning city?
