An umbrella manufacturer sells its product in Nevada and Oregon. Due to different climates, each state has different demands for umbrellas. The marginal cost of production is the same in each state and is a constant $10. The demand curve for raincoats in each state is: Qoregon = 120-2P (or P = 60 -0.5QOregon) QNevada = 60 - 4P (or P = 15 -0.25QNevada) The umbrella manufacturer wants to practice third-degree price discrimination. How much should it charge in each state? (Assume that resale between the states is not possible.) P = $10 (price = marginal cost) in both Oregon and Nevada. P = $35 in Oregon and P = $10 in Nevada. P = $35 in Oregon and P = $12.5 in Nevada. It should only sell in Oregon, and charge P = $35 there. None of the above choices are correct.

Aji Fatou owns a rental space in New York and is thinking of opening a restaurant in that space. The total cost of operating the restaurant is C(Q) = 20Q, where Q is the number of customers at the restaurant in a day. The market demand for restaurants is Q = 100 - p. Aji Fatou has the option of leasing out this space instead of opening a restaurant. The market rent for her property is $600. If Aji Fatou is operating as a perfectly competitive firm. What is Aji Fatou's Accounting profit (please put your answer in numerical value with no dollar sign, comma, or decimal place). Her Economic Profit is (please put your answer in numerical value with no dollar sign, comma, or decimal place). Aji Fatou has maximized the total surplus in this market.

A toy company is trying to determine the optimal price for their weekly supply to meet the demand for a toy they are about to release. They estimate that the supply function follows p= 0.006q^2 + 0.14q+ 8.62 and the demand function follows p= -1.25q+ 65 , where p is the price of the toy (in dollars) and q is the weekly quantity of the toy (in hundreds). If the company tries to sell the toy for $24, will there be a shortage or surplus of toys each week?
A local newspaper currently has 84,000 subscribers at a quarterly charge of $30.Market research has suggested that if the owners raise the price to $32, they wouldlose 5,000 subscribers. Assuming that subscriptions are linearly related to theprice, what price should the newspaper charge for a quarterly subscription tomaximize their revenue?a) Find the cost function (Hint: find slope and use point-slope form to find thecost function) b) Find the revenue function c) Find the maximum revenue d) Find the profit function

The marketing research department for a company that manufacturers and sells gaming systems established the following price-demand function p(x)=240-30x Where p(x) is the wholesale price in dollars at which x thousand gaming systems can be sold, Find the revenue function when x thousand units are demanded Find the value of x that will produce maximum revenue. What is maximum revenue to the nearest thousand dollars? What is the price per gaming system that produces the maximum revenue?
The demand function for a certain model of Blu-ray player is given by p = 600 0.5x + 2 where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $200/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
An industrial firm makes two products, A and B. These products require water resources where they are very scarce. The products they make are unique, and hence they can set the unit price of each product at any value they want to. However, experience tells them that the higher the unit price for a product, the less amount of that product they will sell. The relationship between the unit price and quantity that can be sold is given by the following two demand functions: Assume for simplicity that the unit price for product A is (16 - A) and for product B is (18-2.5B). Suppose the total amount of A and B could not exceed the total amount of Tmax. Where Tmax = 10. Please use "Lagrange Multiplier" method to determine what are the amounts of A and B, and their unit prices, that maximize total revenue (Set the marginal increments at 1).
A friend of yours is considering two movie - streaming services. Provider A charges $120 per year regardless of the number of movies streamed. Provider B does not have a fixed service fee but instead charges $1 per movie. Your friend's annual demand for movies is given by the equation Qd = 150 - 50P, where P is the price per movie. (a) With each provider, what is the cost to your friend of an extra movie? (b) In light of your answer to (a), how many movies with each provider would your friend watch? (c) How much would she end up paying each provider every year? (d) How much consumer surplus would she obtain with each provider? (Hint: Graph the demand curve and recall the formula for the area of a triangle.) (e) Which provider would you recommend that your friend choose? Why?
