Problem 3. British airways has regular flights between Arizonia and Oregon. It can treat travers A and B as separate markets. Suppose that it notes a demand function of Q=16-P for A travelers and a demand function Q=10-P for B travelers and that it has a cost function for all travelers of C(Q)=10+Q2. How much should it charge in each market to maximize its profit? Verify that your answer represents a profit-maximizing point rather than a profit-minimizing point for the airline.
QUESTION 1 A bakery sells its cakes in two different neighbourhoods (Neighbourhood 1 and 2). Neighbourhood 1’s demand function is given by P1=50-0.5Q1. Meanwhile, the demand in Neighbourhood 2 is P2=20-0.25Q2 . The bakery total cost is C=[ 3Q]2/ 108 where Q=Q1+Q2. a) Suppose the bakery can price discriminate between the two neighbourhoods. Calculate the price and quantity for each of the neighbourhoods that maximises this bakery profit. What is the profit obtained from selling the cakes in Neighbourhood 1? Is it the same as the profit obtained from selling cakes in Neighbourhood 2? Justify your answer. b) Find the price elasticities of demand at the equilibrium prices and quantities.
