Consider the market for high-performance digital cameras. Suppose that initially after such cameras are introduced, demand is D,. One year later, after the first group of consumers has purchased the product, demand becomes D2. If the electronics company engages in intertemporal price discrimination, then it should initially charge $ 700 for its digital camera. (Enter a numeric response using an integer.) After one year, the company should charge a price of $ 575'. Assuming no fixed costs, this results in total profits (initially and one year later combined) of $.

You are a pricing analyst for QuantCrunch Corporation, a company that sells a statistical software package. To date, you only have one client. A recent internal study reveals that this client’s inverse demand for your software is P=1500-5Q and that it would cost you $1,000 per unit to install and maintain software at this client’s site. What is the profit that results from two-part pricing? (Hint: set the per-unit price for each unit of the software installed and maintained equal to marginal cost; and charge a fixed “licensing fee” that extracts all consumer surplus from the client)

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)
Your friend is a talented artist. She has no other employment options, she finds painting effortless, and the cost of materials is low enough that it can be safely ignored. Based on your analysis of market data, you estimate that elasticity of demand for her paintings is given in the displayed table. If your friend wants to maximize her income, what price do you advise her to charge for her paintings? Include a brief explanation. (If you think you can only determine a price range, as opposed to a precise price, give a price range.)

Yearly demand for water by residents and businesses in the city of Black Bear Lake is equal to Qp= 2000-10P where Qp is millions of gallons of water, and P is price. Assume that, due to a drought, the state limits the city to no more than 1800 million gallons of water that it must allocate over a two-year period. The state currently does not charge Black Bear Lake for its water. If the City employs a 5 percent discount rate to determine the intertermporal allocation that maximizes net benefit, what price should it charge per million of gallons of water consumed during the first period, if it wants the market to solve this rationing problem? Please do not use a $ sign. Please round your answer to the nearest penny. Answer:
A1). The price, p, that a bookstore charges for a special gift edition of a popular trilogy is related to the demand, q, by the equation 100pq + q? = 5,000,000. Suppose the price is currently set at $40. (a). At what rate is the demand currently changing with respect to this price? (Include units) (b). At what rate is the revenue currently changing with respect to this price? (Hint: use the chain rule). (Include units). (c). Suppose the demand is currently increasing at a rate of 50 copies per month. How fast is the price currently changing per month? (again, assume the price is currently $40).Include units.
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.
Sal's satellite company broadcasts TV to subscribers in Los Angeles and New York. The demand functions for each of these two groups are QNY =40-0.2PNY QLA=80-0.5PLA where Q is in thousands of subscriptions per year and P is the subscription price per year. The cost of providing Q units of service is given by C = 1000 + 60Q where Q Suppose Sal can charge only a single price.
