Assume as in the example in the text that c = 5 while y(s) = s², so that p/(s) = 2s. Assume that the manufacturer sells through a monopoly retailer and initially sets a wholesale price, r equal to $6. Assume that retail demand is Q(p, s) = s(10 - p) 100. a. What will be the retail service level and the retail price? How much output will be sold at this price and service level combination? What will be the manufacturer's profit? Compare the manufacturer's profit at r = $6 rise with its value at r = $7. What does this increase in r do to the level of retail services? b.

Q1. Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $3 to $4. At present, 1 million cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, the number of cars per week will change according to its price elasticity of demand of -0.8 (this elasticity value is estimated based on the initial-value method). If the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply curve is horizontal) and equal to $3 per car, what is the net annual cost to society attributable to the increase in the toll? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest million dollars per year, i.e., no decimal places; there are 52 weeks in a year)
Question 11. Consider the market for flounders (a sort of fish). The demand curve in the northern part of the country is given by QN (P) = 2000-100P while that in the southern part is Qs(P) = 5000-500P. The supply curve for the entire country is Q(P) = 20P. What is the market demand for the entire country (i.e., northern and southern part combined) at a price of P=11 (round to the nearest integer if needed)? a) Q = 199 b) Q =10 c) Q =900 d) Q = 400
The widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $26, $14, $10, $5, and $3 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.

Assume you are a single seller of mugs and each buyer’s willingness to pay is below. Assume you incur a cost of $5.00 per unit. (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). How many mugs would you need to sell if you intend to maximise profits, how many mugs would this seller supply to the market, and what price would you charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold Buyer Willingness to pay ($) for one mug Bobby 18.00 Jake 16.00 Tara 9.00 Phillip 4.00
You provide your services primarily to educational providers, helping them understand how much to charge for their schooling. Imagine that there two types of consumer – high revenue (H) and low revenue (L). Assume demand is given by PL = 1,000–QL/10 and PH = 2,500 – 2QH. In both equations, quantity is in hours of consulting provided. The marginal and average total cost of providing an hour of consulting is $50 per hour. a. Suppose you cannot see who is an H and who is a L, and you can only charge one price. What price do you charge, and how many units do you sell? b. Now imagine you can charge different prices for different quantities, e.g., quantity discounts. Propose a pricing “schedule” (that is, what prices you would offer under what quantity rules) that will allow you to earn greater profit than you would in part a. State how many hours of consulting are sold to each type of consumer.
Consider that the retail market for sanitizing wipes in a small locale is described by the follow demand and supply equations respectively: P = 8.40 - 0.02Q and P = 6.60 + 0.01Q where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity measured in thousands per week. The market is currently in equilibrium. (Question 8 of 8) Now consider than an unexpected viral outbreak led to consumers ensuring that much more surfaces (counter tops, door handles, etc.) are clean and sanitized. At the same time, the government's demand for sanitizing wipes at various public institutions (hospitals, schools, etc.) has impacted the supply of sanitizing wipes in the retail market. Although the government is neither a buyer nor seller in the retail market, their requests for sanitizing wipes does affect how many sanitizing wipes firms are able to supply in the retail market. The market for sanitizing wipes adjusts afterwards and the market is in equilibrium. Suppose that after the market for sanitizing wipes…
Suppose that the demand for a product is given by the following demand function: Q = 500 -3P A. To sell 200 units, what price should you charge?
