PQ 18.02 (and 18.03) Two businesses in a market can decide to increase the amount of stores they operate. If neither business adds new stores they will each earn $10 million in profit; if both add new stores they will each earn $4 million in profit; and if one adds new stores while the other does not, the business adding new stores earns profit of $10 million and the other earns profit of $5 million. If these businesses are not colluding we would expect: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a both may or may not add new stores. b one business will add new stores and the other will not. c both will add new stores. d neither will add new stores.
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 $ -

Chuck’s Hoagie House, the eating establishment alongside of him in the same building has difficulty attracting patrons due to a rumor that several customers contracted food poisoning last September at his establishment. A) What possible options are available to Angelo to increase the number of patrons he can serve in the short run in an effort to…
