Suppose there are three stores in a shopping center that would benefit from security lights in the parking lot according to the following inverse demand functions:Inverse DemandStoreA:PA = 60 -QPR = 45 - 20Pc = 30 - 20B:C:If security lights cost $70 each, in other words market supply is P=70, what is the efficient quantity of lights?The efficient quantity of lights is 13. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest integer.)Now, if each store buys its own lights, there will be securtity lights purchased. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest integer.)

The inverse demand function represents the marginal benefits of each store from the security lights…

Assume the demand remains the same during pandemic, explain how COVID-19 has influenced the retail online section and demonstrates the new market equilibrium in the graph.
QUESTION 11 The function that relates the inverse of speed (1/S) (i.e., the time in minutes that it takes to travel 1 mile) to traffic (T) on a highway is 1/S = 4 + 0.05T. Demand for traffic (measure as traffic volume per minute) on this road is T=6,880 -– 70.(1/S). a. Find the equilibrium traffic volume in the absence of any congestion tollI. b. Find the marginal cost function for traffic volume, where cost is expressed as travel time per mile in minutes. c. Find the optimal level of traffic volume. d. Find the optimal congestion toll, expressed in minutes. (Imagine that the congestion toll consists of sitting in the "penalty box" for this period of time.)
Find the price-demand equation for tickets to a particular zoo when the demand is 225 tickets per day at $15.00 per ticket, given that the marginal price-demand function, p′(x), for x number of tickets per day, is given as p′(x)=−0.015e−0.01x. If the zoo only sells 150 tickets per day, what should the price be? Do not round until the end. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth and do not include a dollar sign in your answer.
Q3. Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets:Q=D(p)=2372−19p, p > 0 Let the market supply of widgets be given by:Q=S(p)=−3+6p, p > 0 where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price.What is the equilibrium price?

The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?

The regular air fare between Boston and San Francisco is 419. An airline using planes on this route observes that they fly with an average of 236 passengers. Market research tells the airlines’ managers that each $7 fare reduction would attract, on average, 3 more passengers for each flight. How should they set the fare to maximize their revenue?
Consider the following price-demand equation:
Johnson's Household Products has a division that produces two types of toothpaste: a regular toothpaste and a whitening tooth paste. The demand equations that relate the prices, p and q (in dollars per thousand units), to the quantities demanded weekly, x and y (in units of a thousand), of the regular toothpaste and the whitening toothpaste are given by p=3000-20 x-10 yp=3000−20x−10y and q=4000-10 x-30 yq=4000−10x−30y respectively. The fixed cost attributed to the division is $20,000/week, and the cost for producing 1000 tubes of regular and 1000 tubes of whitening toothpaste is$400 and $500, respectively. a. What is the weekly total revenue function R(x, y)? b. What is the weekly total cost function C(x, y)? c. What is the weekly profit function P(x, y)? d. How many tubes of regular and whitening toothpaste should be produced weekly to maximize the division's profit? What is the maximum weekly profit?
