BigSwaba Corp produces virus home test kits which it sells in the market. It pays a marketing company to post Instagram images of people using the kits in the comfort of their own homes. The demand for the kits and cost of production are as follows: 1 1 Cost: C=200+=q´ +m 1/2 Demand: p=48+m/: Where m is the firm's marketing expenditure. Assume the CEO of BigSwaba asks you to help the company maximize profit. а. How many kits should the company sell and at what price? b. What is the demand elasticity at this output level? C. What should their marketing budget be? Assume the CEO of BigSwaba realizes her bonus will determined not by profits, but by the firm's revenue. Maintaining the same marketing budget as in part a: d. What quantity should the firm produce to maximize revenue?

A manufacturing business can supply 60 plasma TV sets per month at a price of $280 per set, or sell 140 plasma TV sets if the price is $370 per set. A group of retailers will buy 80 plasma TV’s if the price is $350 per pair and 120 plasma TV’s if the price is $300 per set. Given that the demand and supply functions must be linear: Find the linear equations representing both demand and supply Find the point of market equilibrium (number of TVs: q) and the price per unit (p) at that point.
Will supply curves have the same shape in allmarkets? If not, how will they differ?
A retail chain will buy 900 cordless phones if the price is $30 each and 800 if the price is $40. A wholesaler will supply 350 phones at $40 each and 1400 at $70 each. Assuming that the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point and explain what it means.
Edison's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Edison produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Edison faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Edison must lower his price from $80,000 to $60,000 per fire engine. Note that while Edison gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $60,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $60,000. 100 90 PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fire engine) 8 80 70 60 50 40 30 10 0 Edison 0 1 O True 2 O False + 6 3 4 5 7 QUANTITY (Fire…
Consider the market for ice cream cones. Suppose that supply in this market is given by PS = Q$ and demand is given by PD = 30 – 4 × QD. Answer the following questions. Notice that the competitive equilibrium (Qº,Pe) and the point (Q%,Pº) are both on the demand curve. Use them to compute the price elasticity of demand.
