For the Water Utility, it costs $50,000 per month to lease the land and equipment for the water treatment facility and pumping station and maintain the water supply system. It costs $10Q to deliver water to households (Q is thousands of gallons). The town’s monthly demand for water is QD = 5000 – 100P, where P is price. Calculate the quantity of water, the price, total revenue, total cost, total profit, marginal revenue, marginal cost, the markup, the profit margin, and marginal profit at unregulated price and quantity of water. What price per gallon will they charge?
Techvana is the manufacturer of a new drug which they obtained a patent for. The marginal cost of production is $175 per bottle and the elasticity of demand is estimated to be 1.86. What is the optimal price Techvana should charge for a bottle? $94.09 $113.81 $378.49 $325.5 Grizzly Gear manufactures and sells its top tier snowshoes for $1839. Marginal cost of production per pair is $1100 and fixed cost is $362. What is the markup charged on a pair of snowshoes? $1839 $1477 $377 $739
Question 1 Sal's Streaming Company streams TV shows to subscribers in the US and Canada. Demand is Qus 50 (1/3)Pus - QCA 80 (2/3)P CA = - where Q's are in thousands of subscriptions per year and P's are the subscription prices per year. The cost of providing Q units of service is given by TC = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qus+ QCA (a) What are the profit-maximizing prices and quantities for the US and Canadian markets? (b) As a consequence of a new VPN service that Facebook has developed, subscribers in Canada are now able to get the US streams and vice versa, so Sal can charge only a single price. What is the profit-maximizing single price that he should charge? (c) In which situation is Sal better off? In terms of consumers' surplus which situation do people in Canada prefer and which do people in the US prefer? Why?
Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, charges a lump-sum fee, L, to enter its Crystal Pool. It also charges p per trip down a slide on the pool's water slides. Suppose that 450 teenagers visit the park, each of whom has a demand function of q₁ = 6-p, and that 300 seniors also vist, each of whom has a demand function of q₂ = 5-p. Knoebels's objective is to set L and p so as to maximize its profit given that it has no (non-sunk) cost and must charge both groups the same prices. What are the optimal L and p? The optimal L and p are L=$and p=$. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to three decimal places.)
A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR? MC? $25.00 0 $130 $24.00 10 $275 $23.00 20 $435 $22.50 30 $610 $22.00 40 $800 $21.60 50 $1,005 $21.20 60 $1,225
Based on Zangwill (1992). Murray Manufacturing runs a day shift and a night shift. Regardless of the number of units produced, the only production cost during a shift is a setup cost. It costs $8000 to run the day shift and $4500 to run the night shift. Demand for the next two days is as follows: day 1, 2000; night 1, 3000; day 2, 2000; night 2, 3000. It costs $1 per unit to hold a unit in inventory for a shift. a. Determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. (Note: Not all shifts have to be run.) b. After listening to a seminar on the virtues of the Japanese theory of production, Murray has cut the setup cost of its day shift to $1000 per shift and the setup cost of its night shift to $3500 per shift. Now determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. Show that the decrease in setup costs has actually raised the average inventory level. Is this…

After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?
