Problem 3 Squeak eClean produces commercial sanitizer used to clean tanker trucks that haul liquid food products such as milk. This sanitizer a commodity like any other and at the wholesale level, there are many domestic and foreign producers that compete vigorously. Suppose you have the following estimated market demand and supply functions for the sanitizer. Qd=248.08 +2.2Y-0.6Pc+ 1.2 Ps - 4P Qs=10+2P In these equations, Q measures output in gallons per month (in 1,000's), P is the price per gallon of the sanitizer, Y is annual average household income (in 1,000's), Pc is an index of commodity prices, and Ps is the average price per gallon of other types of sanitizer. After gathering the latest data, you find that average household income is $36,400, the current level of the commodity price index is 110.6, and the average price per gallon of other types of sanitizers is $48.50. a. Find the current equilibrium price and quantity in this market. b. Find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market if the government imposes a $9 per gallon tax on sanitizers. c. What will happen to the price buyers pay per gallon as a result of the tax? d. What price will sellers receive (net price) per gallon after the tax?

Problem 05-19 The A-1 Corporation supplies airplane manufacturers with preformed sheet metal panels that are used on the exterior of aircraft. Manufacturing these panels requires only five sheet metal-forming machines, which cost $500 each, and workers. These workers can be hired on an as-needed basis in the labor market at $9,000 each. Given the simplicity of the manufacturing process, the preformed sheet metal panel market is highly competitive. Therefore, the market price for one of A-1's panels is $80. Based on the production data in the accompanying table, how many workers should A-1 hire to maximize its profits? Machines Workers Output 5 1 600 1,000 1,290 2 3 4 1,480 5 1,600 1,680 Number of workers:
There are two ma jor producers of corncob pipes in the world, both located in Herman, Missouri. Suppose that the inverse demand function for comcob pipes is described by p = 120 4q where q is total industry output and suppose that marginal costs are zero. What is the Cournot reaction function of firm 1 to the output, q2, of firm 2? (a) 120-4q22
Edinburgh Tyre Company (ETC) sells identical tyres under the firm's own brand name and private label tyres to discount stores. The tyres sold in both sub-markets are identical, and the marginal cost is constant at £10 per tyre for both types. The firm has estimated the following demand curves for each of the markets. PB 70 0.0005QB (brand name) and PP 20-0.0002QP (private label). Quantities are measured in thousands per month and price refers to the wholesale price in pounds. ETC currently sells brand name tyres at a wholesale price of £28.50 and private label tyres at a wholesale price of £14. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O a. O b. ○ c. The brand name price is too low and the private label price too high relative to the profit maximising prices. Both prices are too high relative to the profit maximising prices. Both prices are too low relative to the profit maximising prices. Od. The brand name price is too high and the private label price too low relative to…

I would advise taking the following measures to ensure a successful entry into international markets: Conduct thorough market research to identify potential target countries with a demand for premium-quality stylish clothing. Consider factors like consumer preferences, cultural differences, existing competitors, and potential barriers to entry. There needs to research in regards to the export regulations and requirements of the target countries. Different countries may have specific rules and restrictions on textile imports, labeling, and quality standards. Before entering international markets, ensure that the brand identity is well-established and consistent. Make sure that the premium positioning, quality, and unique selling propositions are communicated clearly through branding and marketing materials. Maintain stringent quality control measures to ensure that the clothing consistently meets or exceeds the premium standards expected by target customers. Reputation is critical in…
