Bluth’s Bananas is considering expanding its retail operations for its one-of-a-kind frozen banana stands on Jones Beach, which is 10 kilometers long. Bluth’s Bananas estimates that the typical day has 2,000 visitors to the beach, spread uniformly, and that each will demand a single frozen banana provided the price plus any disutility of traveling to a stand does not exceed $6. To visit a stand a beach goer incurs a disutility of $0.50 for each 1/4 kilometer they have to walk to reach a stand. Each Bluth Banana costs $0.75 to make and each stand requires an operating fee to be paid to the city of $50 per day. Determine the equilibrium number of stands Bluth’s Bananas should operate on the beach given it is not in competition with any other firm. Determine the profit maximizing price for the bananas and calculate the profit realized by BB in equilibrium.
