You are asked to advise the CEO as to what prices and quantities BMW should set for sales in Europe and in the United States. The demand for BMWs in each market is given by QE = 4,000,000 - 100PE and Qu = 1,500,000 –- 20PU where the subscript E denotes Europe, the subscript U denotes the United States.

A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month is approximately p=60-0.1D (D is the demand or quantity sold per month and p is the price in dollars). The fixed cost is $2,000 per month and the variable cost is $20 per unit produced. a. What is the maximum profit per month for this product? b. What is the range of profitable demand during a month? COLL a. The maximum profit per month for this product is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) BOX AI
Your task is to show what the profit of this firm might look like using a key economics diagram. To make graphing easier, we will consider the price of the Ozempic drug for the middle-income country Bangladesh, which is $38 (assumed the profit-maximising price). For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.
The demand for a new computer game can be modeled by p(x) = 43-4 In x, for 0sxS800, where p(x) is the price consumers will pay, in dollars, and x is the number of games sold, in thousands. Recall that total revenue is given by R(x) =x•p(x). Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a) Find R(x). R(x) = b) Find the marginal revenue, R'(x). R'(x) =O c) How many units will be sold if the price that consumers are willing to pay is $40? The number of units that will be sold is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
Gliberace's Fashion Accessories of Las Vegas produces gem-stone encrusted formal wear for sale in Los Angeles and San Francisco subject to total cost TC = 100 + 5(QLA + QSF). Demand for Gliberace's stones in the two cities is given by QLA = 70 - 2PLA and QSF = 55 - PSF. If Gliberace price discriminates between the two cities, what will its maximum profits be? $975 $750 $825 $1,175 $1,075
A company has established that the relationship between the price for one of its products is approximately p = 88.5 – 0.08D0.75 In addition there is a fixed cost of $45,000 per year and the variable cost to manufacture the product is $45 per unit.

A botanical garden estimates a demand for visits per month as Q = 16 - 2P, where P is the entry fee per visit and Q is monthly visits in 1,000s. There is constant marginal cost of admitting another person to the botanical garden as MC = 2. Mangers currently charge price of P = 5 to enter, resulting in Q = 6 visits (i.e., 6,000 visits per month). The managers are considering a new pricing strategy where they require visitors to pay a flat fee to join a membership to the gardens but then lower the price per visit. a. What price should be charged per visit to the botanical gardens? b. How visits are there at this price? c. What is the maximum amount that visitors would be willing to pay for memberships? Explain.
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
Assume you are a single seller of mugs and each buyer’s willingness to pay is below. Assume you incur a cost of $5.00 per unit. (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). How many mugs would you need to sell if you intend to maximise profits, how many mugs would this seller supply to the market, and what price would you charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold Buyer Willingness to pay ($) for one mug Bobby 18.00 Jake 16.00 Tara 9.00 Phillip 4.00
The Star Theater is the only movie theater in Hollywood, SC, and therefore it has price-setting power. The Star Theater has two distinct types of customers: (i) senior citizens and (ii) non-senior citizens. The demand curve among senior citizens is: y₁ = 100-10p₁, for p₁ 10, where y₁ is the number of seats demanded by senior citizens at a senior citizen ticket price of p1. The demand curve among non-senior citizens is: y2 = 140-10p2, for p2 14, where y2 is the number of seats demanded by non-senior citizens at a non-senior citizen ticket price of p2. The Star Theater's cost function is C(31, 32) = C(y1 + y2) = F + (y1 + y2), where F is the fixed cost of operating the theater and y₁ and y2 are (as already defined) the number of senior citizen and non-senior citizen customers, respectively. By how much does the Star Theater increase profits if it operates as a third-degree price discriminator instead of as a single-price monopolist? $0 $10 $20 $30

A medical device manufacturer sells its sterilization equipment in a market with an inverse demand curve of P = 6,000 – 400Q, %3D where Q is the number of sterilizers in thousands, and P is the price per unit. Suppose the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act levies a tax on medical devices. Assume the tax raises the marginal cost of production from $4,000 to $4,400. After the tax, the profit- maximizing quantity by _- - -- - A. decreases; 1 B. decreases; 0.5 C. increases; 1 D. increases; 0.5
