Assume a firm faces two customers in the market. Customer 1 has an inverse demand of p=120-91, and Customer 2 has an inverse demand of p=160-92 Marginal cost per unit is constant and equal to $60. Determine the profit-maximizing price and identical lump-sum fee charged to these two customers. For the following questions, assume the firm will always sell to both customers. The profit-maximizing price is $ (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) The lump-sum fee is $ (Enter a numeric response rounded to the nearest penny.)

Yummy Yummy Popcorn, Inc. sells bags of flavored popcorn in a popular mall. As shop owner and operator, you have observed that weekly popcorn sales are well-described by the demand equation: Q = 1,200 - 800P + 2.0A, where A denotes advertising weekly spending (in dollars). You are currently charging $1.50 per bag of popcorn (for which the marginal cost is $.75) and spending $500 per week on advertising. a) Compute the store’s price elasticity and advertising elasticity.

Suppose your firm owns a retirement development that is composed of a gated housing community and a championship level private golf course designed to appeal to retirees that are avid golfers. The development is somewhat isolated and there are no other golf courses within easy driving distance. Obviously, one of the main revenue sources for your company is golf course operations. Suppose the annual individual demand for avid golfers is represented by the following inverse demand function (Q is in annual rounds played): P=100-1.250 Most of the cost to maintain the golf course is fixed in the sense that it is not related to the number of rounds played. Your firm has estimated that the variable cost per round is the result of the cost of leasing and maintaining golf carts and is $20 per round. That is, the variable cost function is: VC (Q) = 200 a. If your firm decides to charge a single price per round of golf, what price should it charge and how many rounds of golf can you expect an…
Suppose a firm faces an identical inverse demand curve of p = 100 - q for each consumer in the market. Currently, the firm's average cost = marginal cost = $40. Determine the profit-maximizing price and identical lump-sum fee to charge with a two-part tariff. The profit-maximizing price to charge is $ (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )=. Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem.
Walmart can be viewed as a first mover. Now suppose both Walmart and HEB are considering whether and how to enter a potential market. Market demand is given by the inverse demand function p= 900−q1−q2, where p is the market price margin, q1 is the quantity sold by Walmart and q2is the quantity sold by HEB. To enter the market, a retailer must build a store. Two types of stores can be built: Small and Large. A Small pantry store requires an investment of $50,000, and it allows the retailer to sell as many as 100 units of the goods at zero marginal cost. Alternatively, the retailer can pay $175,000 to construct a Large full-service supermarket that will allow it to sell any number of units at zero marginal cost. *Assume Walmart has built a Large full-service supermarket (i.e.Walmart chooses to build a large full-service supermarket L1 at the first stage). Calculate Walmart's profit for the following cases: a.) HEB chooses not to enter N at the second stage after viewing Walmart’s…
A manufacturer of automobiles is planning a new model and wants to determine the responsiveness of demand in a number of scenarios. The demand function for the new model is given by the following function: Q = 30000 – 3P + 2000ln(PA) + Y Where Q is the quantity sold of the new model, P is the price for the new model, PA is the price of the competitor’s model and Y is the annual income of a typical purchaser. The new model price is planned to be £20,000 and the competitor is charging £25,000. The annual income of a typical purchaser is £30,000. (a) The manufacturer wishes to determine the responsiveness of the demand for the new model if the price of a competitor’s model changes. Which measure of elasticity would be appropriate to fulfil this requirement? And provide a calculation of its value.
None
Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )= y^22/2 (picture attached). Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem. The leader is facing the residual demand curve R(p)=D(p)-S(p) with D(p) and S(p) as defined in (c) above. Calculate the leader’s residual demand curve using the result in (c). Solve for p as a function of the leader’s output y1, i.e. the inverse demand function facing…
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
