Suppose you own a tax preparation services company, with fixed costs of $3,000/month and marginal costs of $25/appt.If the price is $60/appt, 500 appointments would be sold.

George has been selling 5,000 T-shirts per month for $8.50. When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. What is the demand elasticity? If his marginal cost is $4 per shirt, what is his desired markup and what is his initial actual markup? Was raising the price profitable?
Suppose Ford currently sells 250000 Ford mustang's annually. The unit cost of a mustang including the delivery cost to a dealer is $16000 . The current mustang price is $20000 and the current elasticity of demand for the mustang is -1.5. A. Determine a profit maximizing price for a mustang. Do this when the demand function is of the constant elasticity type. Do it when the demand function is linear
Beowoof is the only kennel for two neighboring counties, East Liverpoodle and West Liverpoodle. The elasticity of demand for kennel services is 4 in East Liverpoodle and 10 in West Liverpoodle. The price charged per week in East Liverpoodle is $60. If Beowoof can successfully separate these two markets, how much should it charge per week in West Liverpoodle?
