Netflix is increasing its streaming service from $9.99 per month to $10.99 per month. Which is must be true? a) They will lose less than 5% of subscribers b) They will not lose any subs c) They will lose no more than 20% of their subs d) They will lose less than 10% of their subs
What must be true about a demand function g(p) so that, at a price per item of p = $100, revenue will decrease if the price per item is increased? %3D
A local defense contractor is considering the production of fireworks as a way to reduce dependence on the military. The variable cost per unit is $40D. The fixed cost that can be allocated to the production of fireworks is negligible. The price changed per unit will be determined by the equation p=$180-(5)D, where D represents demand in units sold per week. a.What is the optimum number of units the defense contractor should produce in order to maximize profit per week? b.What is the profit if the optimum number of units are produced?
Hercules Films is deciding on the price of the video release of its film Son of Frankenstein. Its marketing people estimate that at a price of p dollars, it can sell a total of q = 280,000 - 20,00 copies. What price will bring in the greatest revenue? = $
A ship travels between ports, A and B, which is a total distance of D. The cost per-hour of operating the ship is c(v) = w +v", where w > 0 represents the hourly wages of the ship's employees, v is the ship's velocity, and n 2 2 is a parameter. The objective is to choose v so that the trip is made at minimum cost. (Hint: velocity is equal to distance divided by the time taken on the trip, or what is the same, time taken is equal to distance divided by velocity) 1. Assume that v = 2. Find the expression for the indirect cost function, and consider its first two derivatives with D and with w.
The per-week (inverse) demand for use of the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden is P = 13 − 0.15Q during peak traffic periods and P = 10 − 0.1Q during off-peak hours, where Q is the number of cars crossing the bridge in thousands and P is the toll in euros. If the marginal cost of using the bridge is MC = 5 + 0.2Q, what is the optimal peak load toll and off-peak load toll for crossing the bridge?

When the price of candy bars increased from $0.45 to $0.55, the quantity demanded changed from 21,000 per day to 19,000 per day. In this price range, the price elasticity of demand coefficient (based on the midpoint formula) for candy bars is A) -1. B) -0.18. (C) -2. D -0.5.
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)
