In small collegetowns, it is not uncommon that the rental market is dominated by one or a handful ofproperty management companies. Suppose demand for housing is given by MWTP(Qd)=2400-4QdSupply from the monopolistic landlord can be characterized by MC(Qs）=1500+Q°1. How many units will be rented in this collegetown? At what price?

Big Boss is a local pet shop, mainly selling cat food. It has a constant marginal cost of $24. She recently runs a promotional campaign using discount coupons. Suppose Big Boss estimates price elasticity of demand for coupon users and non-coupon users are –3.0 and –1.6 respectively. Calculate the prices Big Boss should charge on coupon users and non-coupon users respectively.
Parkleigh Pharmacy is an upscale department store in Rochester, NY, that sells personal accessories and home decorations. Kaufmann’s is a departmental store based in Pennsylvania and has several stores in Rochester, NY. Kaufmann carries a broad range of products and caters to middle-class customers. A salesperson at Parkleigh is paid a straight hourly wage (e.g., no sales commission) and 30% discount from purchasing any product from Parkleigh’s store. A salesperson at Kaufmann gets an hourly wage lower than Parkleigh’s hourly wage but gets 5% commission on sales. However, the product salesperson buys from Kaufmann without a discount. Explain why does Kaufmann pays sales commission, and Parkleigh doesn’t
HP has developed a new, high-end, high-resolution printer, which can print 40 pages per minute. Its market research identified two target segments of customers: 3,500 large businesses and 6,500 university labs. A large business has a valuation of $900 for the new printer, whereas a university lab has a valuation of $630. HP’s variable cost for the printer is $450/unit; all fixed costs are sunk. Assume that each customer needs at most one new HP printer (i.e., no customer will buy multiple units). (a) Suppose that HP cannot price discriminate the two segments of customers, i.e., it can charge only one price for its printer. What is HP’s optimal price for the new printer? What is its maximum profit? (b) Suppose that HP can install an extra chip in the printer to slow down printing to 15 pages per minute. Such a chip costs HP $20 to make and install for each printer. The slower version of the printer is valued at $700 by a large business customer and $600 by a university lab. With…
Suppose that the inverse demand for aloe juice in Greece is given by P = 100 – 2Q, where P is the price per bottle (1000ml) of aloe juice and Q is the total quantity, i.e., number of bottles, supplied in the market. There are two aloe juice manufacturers in Greece, Aloe Health and Aloe Wealth, operating under similar cost conditions. Each manufacturer's cost function is C(q) = 4qi, i =1,2, where q¡ is the manufacturer's individual quantity produced and Q = qı + q2. (a) Based on demand conditions every year, they decide, independently of each other, the quantity of aloe juice that will be supplied, letting the market determine the price per bottle. Find the equilibrium price and each firm's profit in this market. %3D (b) Consider that the above two manufacturers form a cartel, agreeing to fix their total quantity in such a way that the market maintains a collusive price. For simplicity, the eventual cartel directory will determine the target total-quantity and price pair, and each firm…
The manager of a large apartment complex knows from experience that 100 units will be occupied if the rent is 414 dollars per month. A market survey suggests that, on the average, one additional unit will remain vacant for each 9 dollar increase in rent. Similarly, one additional unit will be occupied for each 9 dollar decrease in rent. What rent should the manager charge to maximize revenue?

Let's say there is demand in a market. The unit cost of production of the good is fixed and is at level 3. If you had a technology that could reduce this cost to 1, how much would you sell the pantent of the technology you have? (Hint: How much does society spend to get the technology you have?)
Country Motorbikes Incorporated finds that it costs $400 to produce each motorbike, and that fixed costs are $1300 per day. The price function is p(x)= 700-5x, where p the price (in dollars) at which exactly x motorbikes will be sold. Find the quantity Country Motorbikes should produce and the price it should charge to maximize profit. Also find the maximum profit. 40 quantity price profit motorbikes Enter a number.
A pharmaceutical company is the only producer of a particular drug. It sells that drug in two countries, one rich and the other a development country. The inverse demand for the drug in the rich country is pr(qr) = 20 – 2qñ, and in the developing country it is pp(qp) 10- qp. The total cost of production is C(qR, qp) = (qr+qp)². What is the profit-maximizing quantity in the rich country, qR? (a) qR = 1 (b) qR = 3 (c) qR = 6 (d) qR 8 (e) qR 14
Suppose that the finance department of our favorite company, TVZ R US, determines that the total = 500+ 2x. The marketing department's cost of producing a amount of televisions is C (x) estimate of the demand function for televisions has not changed and remains p = 10 -0.01x. A) Write an equation for the profit of this company. B) Use the first derivative to find the marginal profit of the function you wrote in part A. C) Compute the second derivative and determine if the value you found in Part B is an absolute maximum or absolute minimum. D) Find the maximum profit of the company. E) At what price are profits maximized?
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.
