A new amusement park is about to open and features a number of attractions. It is expedcted that the park will attract 1,000 people per day Tastes of consumers are homogeneous, so it can be assumed that everyone will have the same demand function, and that each person will take x = 50 – 50p rides, where p is the price of a ride in Euro. The marginal cost of a ride is zero. If the owners decided to use a two-part tarif, how much would they charge for the admission to the park and how much for each ride? O (a) Admission fee: 6.25 Euro; price for a ride: 50 cents. O (b) Admission fee: 25 Euro; price for a ride: 0. O (c) Admission fee: 20 Euro; price for a ride: 0. O (d) Admission fee: 24 Euro; price for a ride: 50 cents.

Suppose that a well-known scientific fiction writer finishes a new book. The writer’s publisherfinds the demand curve for this new book is given by Q = 4200 − 200P, where P is its price. It will cost $2000 to set the book in type. This setup cost is necessary before any copies can be printed. In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $8 per book for every book printed. Assume that the publisher wants to maximize the profit from this new book, and considers them-selves as a monopoly.(a) Write down the total revenue (T R(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q).(b) Write down the total cost (T C(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q).(c) Find the profit-maximizing quantity (Q∗).(d) Find the profit-maximizing price (P ∗).(e) What is the profit? Please just help with c,d,e
A city in a developing country does not have a provider of water and sanitation services, leading to poor health outcomes for its citizens. A firm is considering entering that market. The cost curve is C(q) = 10+2q, and the inverse demand is P(q) = 10—q. The government of that city knows that, because of the high fixed cost to operate in this market, any entrant is likely to become a monopolist. Thus, they decide to implement the following regulation: the firm is not allowed to choose a price above an upper limit of p (which the government chooses and sets in the law before the firm decides to enter). There will be no transfers between the government and the firm. Assume that the firm only enters the market if it can get profits of at least zero, given the government's choice of p. Suppose that the government's goal is to maximize consumer surplus. Which of the following statements is the most correct? (a) The government needs to set p = 2, because it's the marginal cost. That…
Exercise A.2. Suppose a company that is the only producer in a given sector of activity and can produce with an average and marginal cost of €10. The company faces a market demand curve given by Q=100-P. a) What is the price range in which this monopolist will operate? Why? b) Get the amount you will produce and the sale price you will charge. Calculate its benefits? Represent graphically.
Use economic analysis to explain why the optimal amount of product safety may be less than the amount that would totally eliminate the risk of accidents and deaths. Use automobiles as an example.
Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, charges a lump-sum fee, L, to enter its Crystal Pool. It also charges p per trip down a slide on the pool's water slides. Suppose that 450 teenagers visit the park, each of whom has a demand function of q₁ = 6-p, and that 300 seniors also vist, each of whom has a demand function of q₂ = 5-p. Knoebels's objective is to set L and p so as to maximize its profit given that it has no (non-sunk) cost and must charge both groups the same prices. What are the optimal L and p? The optimal L and p are L=$and p=$. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to three decimal places.)
A regional airline is the only carrier on a local air route and must determine the number of flights it will provide per month, and the fare it will charge. The estimated cost – fuel, airport charges, pilots, etc. – per flight is $2,000, and each flight is expected to be full, with 100 passengers. Thus the marginal cost per passenger may be considered to be $20.The estimated demand curve is P = 117 - 0.005Q, where P is the fare in dollars and Q is the number of passengers per month. What is the monthly profit if the airline chooses the profit-maximizing fare and number of flights? (Do not include $ sign in your answer. Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearlest whole number.)
A toy manufacturing from has demand for the product is given by the demand function Q= 500 - 3p. Where P is the price in dollars and q is the quantity sold per year. To sell 200 units, what price should the firm charge.
Microsoft is the market leader in office software with its MSOffice. Its marginal cost of production c is 1 dollar per unit. Home users demand 40 million licenses and are willing to pay 50 dollars, whereas businesses demand 60 million licenses and are willing to pay 100 dollars. Microsoft also produces a home version of MS Office at a marginal cost of c'=2. Home users and businesses are willing to pay 60 and 40 dollars, respectively, for the home version. Which is the best pricing strategy for Microsoft? O Selling MSOffice Professional at 100 Selling MSOffice Home at 40 Selling MSOffice Professional units at 100 and MSOffice Home units at 40 Selling MSOffice Professional at 80 dollars and MSOffice Home at 40 dollars
Your company is going to produce two versions of its new video game systems, Boxy-x,B1, and Boxy-s,B2. Demand for each depends partly on the price of the other. The price for the Boxy-x and Boxy-s will be represented by pi and p2 respectively. The demand function for the Boxy-x is: q (p1, р2) — 140, 000 — 800р1 + 18p2 where qi is the number of Boxy-x units that will be sold per week. The demand function for the Boxy-s is: Ф (P1, р2) — 130, 000 + 18p1 — 300р2 where q2 is the number of Boxy-s units that will be sold per week. Find the prices for the Boxy-x and Boxy-s that will maximize the total revenue. (Round your answers to the nearest hundredths place.) Pi = P2 =
HEAD and Dunlop set prices simultaneously for their respective tennis rackets. Let p₁ ≥ 0 denote the price set by HEAD and p2 ≥ 0 the price set by Dunlop. Consumers demand 4-2p1+p2 billions of HEAD rackets and 4-2p2+p₁ billions of Dunlops's. Assume that the cost of producing a tennis rackets is 0, so the payoff of HEAD is v₁ (P₁, P2) = P1(4-2p₁+P2), and the payoff of Dunlop is v2 (P1, P2) = P2(4-2p2 +P₁). (a) What is the best-response p₁ = BR₁(p2) of HEAD to a price p2 chosen by What is the best-response p2 = . BR₂ (p1) of Dunlop to a price p₁ chosen by Dunlop? HEAD? Find the Nash equilibrium of this game. Which strategies are rationalizable (i.e., survive the process of iterated of strategies that are not best responses for any surviving play of the eliminatio opponent,. (d) Suppose both firms choose prices p = P2 = 2. Does this outcome Pareto dominate the Nash equilibrium? (b) (c)
Suppose that the Department of Justice (DOJ) vetoes all mergers that are likely to lead to an increase in price of the product. The market demand function is given by P(Q) = 50 – Q. Pre- merger, the market is competitive and the cost function is given by C(Q) = 30Q. Post-merger, the market will be controlled by a monopolist and C(Q) = xQ. For what values of x will the DOJ approve this merger?
If exactly 206 people sign up for a charter flight, Leisure World Travel Agency charges $304/person, However, if more than 206 people sign up for the flight (assume this is the case), then each fare is reduced by $1 for each additional person. Let x denote the number of passengers above 206. Find the revenue function R(x). R(x) = Determine how many passengers will result in a maximum revenue for the travel agency. passengers What is the maximum revenue? $ What would be the fare per passenger in this case? dollars per passenger
