The Chess Club at Extinct Mammoth University (EMU, guess what their mascot is!!!) is planning its annual fund-raising “Stuffathon". The club will charge students $0.80 per serving of pasta. The only expenses the club will incur are the cost of the pasta, estimated at $0.25 per serving, and the $500.00 cost of renting the facility for the evening. The Chess Club has purchased enough pasta for 10,000 servings. • Write down the associated cost, revenue, and profit functions. • How many servings of pasta must the society sell in order to break even? • Find the marginal revenue function and interpret the marginal revenue at 8,000 servings.

Two of your classmates have an idea for a new food truck called Funk Seoul Brother, that sells Korean street food and sushi burritos. It would be the only supplier of this food in Athens. Market research suggests that the demand curve for the food will be P=40-(Q/80). It will cost $2000 to set up the food truck, which is necessary before any food can be made. In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $6 per entrée for every entrée made. a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity?What profit will this food truck generate? b. If this market were instead perfectly competitive, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? c. How much deadweight loss occurs under the monopolist?
The Acmeville Metropolitan Bus Service currently charges $0.99 for an all-day ticket and is used by an average of 623 riders a day. The bus company is not earning a profit, but according to their contract with the city, they cannot cut the number of buses on the road. They must, therefore, find a way to increase revenues The bus company is considering increasing the ticket price to $1.21. The marketing department's studies indicate this price increase would reduce usage to 473 riders per day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method for bus tickets to determine if the bus company should increase price or decrease price to increase revenues. Enter your answer as an absolute value and round it to two places after the decimal price elasticity of demand: Determine if demand is elastic or inelastic and what this implies regarding how ticket prices affect revenue Demand is inelastic, so decreasing ticket prices will increase revenue Demand is inelastic, so…
(You will need to use a spreadsheet to tackle these questions.) 1. How much of q can be produced for £60,000 if the total cost function is TC = 86 + 152q − 12q2 + 0.6q3? 2. What output can be produced for £150,000 if TC = 130 + 62q − 3.5q2 + 0.15q3? 3. Solve for x when 0 = −1,340 + 14x + 2x2 − 1.5x3 + 0.2x4 + 0.005x5 − 0.0002x6
Thranduil company’s market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costs and 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold.Which of the following prices is the one that maximizes the company's profit?
The demand curve shows how energy use spikes at times of the day that do not align with peak alternative energy production. Pick two potential solutions and explain how they address the demand curve problem in 1-2 sentences for each example:
