It is about travel method problem. You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to EuroLand, an amusement park in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visi tors to the park. Before doing this, you divide the area around the park into 10 zones with the distance from the park approximately constant within a zone. You ask each person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone. Your data are shown below: (table) Zone Distance from park (km) Zonal population Number of visitors 1 10 5,000 500 2 20 10,000 900 3 30 25,000 2,000 4 40 10,000 700 5 50 100,000 6,000 6 60 500,000 25,000 7 70 200,000 8,000 8 80 50,000 1,500 9 90 100,000 2,000 10 100 100,000 1,000 You note that admission to Euroland is 150 euros per person. you also calculate that transportation costs, including time costs, are…
Suppose the following table shows the price of a base model for a particular brand of hybrid and the quantity of these hybrids sold for three years. Do these data indicate that the demand curve for these hybrids is upward sloping? Explain. Year 2015 2016 2017 Price $25,190 24,520 24,930 Quantity 36,466 33,250 35,265 A. No, the demand curve is downward sloping. The demand curve appears to be upward sloping because it is more likely that the demand curves shift between years and the data here are collected from three different data points. B. Yes, the demand curve is upward sloping because, from year to year, when the price increases, the quantity also increases. OC. Yes, the demand curve is upward sloping because the price increases each year. O D. No, the demand curve is downward sloping. The demand curve appears to be upward sloping because the data show that the price decreases as the years progress.
Metropolitan Utilities District currently charges residents in Omaha $1.23 per cubic feet of water use for each home's first 900 cubic feet of water used, $1.73 per cubic feet of water use for each home's usage rate between 900 and 3,000 cubic feet, and $2.22 per cubic feet of water use for anything over 3,000 cubic feet of use. The pricing structure is an example of: over-use and inefficient pricing. too few water permits being traded on the local water market. block pricing. conservation pricing.
Suppose that you observe that when the price of a particular vaccine falls by 4%, the quantity purchased____ by 2%. This implies that this vaccine is price in demand and that the price elasticity of demand is equal to ______ falls; elastic; 2 falls; inelastic; 0.5 rises; elastic; 2 rises; inelastic; 0.5
As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 400,000 −400Q and P = 900,000 −250Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 125,000 + 430,000Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect? Number of homes you should build: homes Profits you can expect: $
You are helping a friend that owns a local store. Their costs are per unit, so the only way they can maximize profits are by increasing revenue. Therefore, you would like to help identify the price that will maximize revenues. Below is data from a previous period. Complete the chart. (For the TR Test, consider that prices are increasing
In a certain region, there are four major healthcare providers: A HealthCare, B CarePlus, C MedWell, and D LifeCare. The market shares of these providers in terms of patient visits are as follows: A HealthCare: 35% B CarePlus: 25% C MedWell: 20% D LifeCare: 20% Calculate the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for the healthcare provider market in this region. Is this market considered concentrated or competitive according to the HHI interpretation?
Question 12 In order to bring to South Korea a Therapy-based mental health app, you first need to roughly estimate your market demand. Your market research (country report) yields the following statistics: -Therapy mental health app users in China: 30M -Total adult population in China: 1.2B -Total adult population in Korea: 40M -Smartphone ownership in Korea: 94% -At least "somewhat interested" in mental health products in Korea: 30% -Currently using similar apps (mediation or mindfulness) in Korea: 4M According to the Analogy method, market demand estimate could be: 4M 30M/3 = 10M (because Korean population is one third of the Chinese population) 30M Both options 1) and 2)
A manufacturer of automobiles is planning a new model and wants to determine the responsiveness of demand in a number of scenarios. The demand function for the new model is given by the following function: Q = 30000 – 3P + 2000ln(PA) + Y Where Q is the quantity sold of the new model, P is the price for the new model, PA is the price of the competitor’s model and Y is the annual income of a typical purchaser. The new model price is planned to be £20,000 and the competitor is charging £25,000. The annual income of a typical purchaser is £30,000. (a) The manufacturer wishes to determine the responsiveness of the demand for the new model if the price of a competitor’s model changes. Which measure of elasticity would be appropriate to fulfil this requirement? And provide a calculation of its value.
Question: As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 300,000 − 400Q and P = 500,000 − 275Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 140,000 + 240,000Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect?
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about +0.5. Suppose a major brokerage firm advised its clients to buy cigarette stock under the assumption that, if consumer income rise by 50 percent as expected over the next decade, cigarette sales would double. Based on the fundamental economic principles on income elasticity of demand, a reasonable reaction to this investment advice would be?
The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: $240, Camera B Price: $300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10. Max revenue occurs at Camera A price of $ - Max revenue occurs at Camera B price of $ -
