Hannah Gadsby is doing a one-night only show in Toronto at Massey Hall. Only 205 seats (identical on all dimensions) are available. There are two types of ticket buyers--those who love Hannah Gadsby (66 people) and those who are only looking for a fun thing to do on a Friday night (500 people). Every consumer buys only on ticket. Hannah Gadsby fans are willing to pay $457 for a ticket and they really want to be at the show. The other buyers are willing to pay $134 for a ticket. Massey Hall does not allow ticket resale. All (and only) Hannah Gadsby fans are on a mailing list. Massey Hall emails them with the opportunity to buy a ticket before tickets go on general sale. If Massey halls price discriminates, what is the highest revenue it can make from the show? Enter a number only, no $ sign, no

You are the producer of computer components. There are two markets – foreign and domestic – with elasticity of demands that are E = 4 and E, = 2 respectively. The price in the domestic market is $12 per unit. If you are practicing third degree price discrimination, then the price per unit in the foreign market should be: 4 8. 10
P1= $4.50 Q1= 45 P2= $5.00 Q2= 40 a) what is price elasticity of demand b) given the price elasticity of demand coefficient you have calculated. What would happen to the quantity demanded in percentage terms if the price increased by 10% in this range ? c) what would be the effect of the price increase above on total revenue? Explain.
You are considering subscribing to Hulu. You are willing to pay up to $39 per year for a subscription. The current annual price is $109. Calculate your consumer surplus under these circumstances.
According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of scooters is currently $15 per scooter, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is a $15-per-scooter increase in price will lead to in total revenue per week. In general, in order for a price increase to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be
Comment on the Elasticity of demand for a good having high number of substitutes
12. The Vanier Cup, the finals of Canadian University football, was held on November 26, 2016 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. The organizers learned a lot are already planning next year's event! Based on what they learned this year, they know that the demand function for tickets to the game will be given by q = 200, 000 - 10, 000p, where p is the price charged per ticket. The chief organizer for next year is an ambitious person who wants to set prices so as to maximize revenue. (b) Write down an expression for the inverse demand function (price as a function of quantity), total revenue (as a function of quantity), and marginal revenue (as a function of quantity). Find the quantity and price that generate maximum revenue. (c) Derive an expression for the elasticity of ticket demand with respect to price. (Hint: your elasticity should be a function of the price, p.) What is the value of the elasticity at the revenue-maximizing price (your answer for price from part b)?
You are the owner of a local Honda dealership. Unlike other dealerships in the area, you take pride in your “No Haggle” sales policy. Last year, your dealership earned record profits of $1.5 million. In your market, you compete against two other dealers, and the market-level price elasticity of demand for midsized Honda automobiles is -1.6. In each of the last five years, your dealership has sold more midsized automobiles than any other Honda dealership in the nation. This entitled your dealership to an additional 25 percent off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) in each year. Taking this into account, your marginal cost of a midsized automobile is $12,000.What price should you charge for a midsized automobile if you expect to maintain your record sales?
A website offers a place for people to buy and sell emeralds, but information about emeralds can be quite imperfect. The website then enacts a rule that all sellers in the market must pay for two independent examinations of their emerald, which are available to the customer for inspection. How would you expect this improved information to affect demand for emeralds on this website? How would you expect this improved information to affect the quantity of high-quality emeralds sold on the website?
You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is −1.5, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is −1.8.How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 percent?
Suppose that you are in charge of a toll bridge over the Mississippi River. The demand for bridge crossing Q is given by the following: 2P = 20 - Q a) How many people would cross the bridge if there were no toll? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT) b) The toll bridge operator is considering setting up a price of $5.00. At that price, how many people will cross the bridge? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT) c) How many people would cross the bridge if the toll is set at $10.00? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT)
Which of the following is most likely to have a low price elasticity of demand? A good that is very expensive. A good with no close substitutes. A good that most people consider a luxury. All are equally likely to have a low price elasticity of demand.
You are the owner of a local Honda dealership. Unlike other dealerships in the area, you take pride in your "No Haggle" sales policy. Last year, your dealership earned record profits of $1.3 million. In your market, you compete against two other dealers, and the market- level price elasticity of demand for midsized Honda automobiles is -1.5. In each of the last five years, your dealership has sold more midsized automobiles than any other Honda dealership in the nation. This entitled your dealership to an additional 20 percent off the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) in each year. Taking this into account, your marginal cost of a midsized automobile is $12,000. What price should you charge for a midsized automobile if you expect to maintain your record sales?
