A consulting company estimated market demand and supply in a perfectly competitive industry and obtained the following results: Qd = 25,000 5,000P+ 25M Qs = 240,000 + 5,000P-2,000P1 where P is price, M is income, and P₁ is the price of a key input. The forecasts for the next year are M= $15,000 and P₁= $20. Average variable cost is estimated to be AVC=14-0.008Q + 0.000002Q² Total fixed cost will be $6,000 next year. Suppose income next year is forecasted to be $10,000 instead. What is the profit- maximizing output choice for the firm?

The 24-Hour Mart operates a chain of supermarkets. Its best-selling soft drink is Fruitslice. Demand (D) in April for Fruitslice at its Regina supermarket is estimated to be 7,200 cases (24 cans in each case). In March, the Regina supermarket estimated the ordering costs per purchase order (P) for Fruitslice to be $36. The carrying costs (C) of each case of Fruitslice in inventory for a month were estimated to be $1.20. At the end of March, the Regina 24-Hour Mart reestimated its carrying costs to be 1.80 per case per month to take into account an increase in warehouse-related costs.

The market demand for a monopoly firm is estimated to be: Qd= 100,000 − 500P + 2M + 5,000PR where Qd is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good. The manager has forecasted the values of M and PR will be $50,000 and $20, respectively, in 2021. The average variable cost function is estimated to be AVC = 520 − 0.03Q + 0.000001Q2 Total fixed cost in 2021 is expected to be $4 million. The profit-maximizing price for 2021 is a. $260. b. $560. c. $520. d. $80. e. $100
