The figure shows the market demand curve for bread, together with original and new supply curves, where the curve has shifted due to new bakeries entering the market. All bakeries are identical, and there are no entry costs. Which of the following statements is correct? 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 €2.0 1.5 1.0 Price, € 0.5 0.0 Original supply New supply Demand 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 Quantity: number of loaves O The bakeries' marginal cost of production has fallen. With the fall in price, the bakeries now make a loss. The supply of bread has become less elastic. New bakeries will continue to enter until the market price equals the firms' average cost.

12 Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demands and selling prices for these two cameras are as follows. Ds = demand for the Sky Eagle Ps= selling price of the Sky Eagle DH = demand for the Horizon PH = selling price of the Horizon = 223 - 0.60P + 0.35PH DH=270+ 0.10P - 0.64PH Revenue Ds The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Develop the revenue function R (in terms of Ps and PH only) for these two models, and find the revenue maximizing prices (in dollars). (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Price for Sky Eagle Price for Horizon Optimal revenue R = PS = $| PH = $ R = $
The following chart tells you the willingness to pay (WTP) for generic and custom refrigerators for three types and the number of each type on your market. Each refrigerator costs $200 to make the generic and $250 to make the custom. High Value Medium Value Low Value #of each type 20 30 30 Value for generic 600 500 175 Total value for Custom 750 575 200 If you were only to sell the generic refrigerator, what price should you set? If you were to sell both refrigerator types, what price should you set for the custom refrigerator?
6. Exercise 4.6 An econometrician hired to analyse a local golf course has determined that there are two types of golfers, the regular and the occasional. The annual demand for games from regular players is given by QH = 24 - 0.3P, where P is the price of a round of golf. On the other hand, the annual demand for occasional items is given by Q° = 10 - 0.1P. The marginal cost and the average total cost per item are equal to €20. a) If you could distinguish between regular and casual players, what price would be set for each type? How many games would each type of player play? How much profit could the golf course generate? Represent graphically. b) As an alternative to the discrimination of third degree prices, those in charge consider a double tranche rate according to which the members can play as many games as they wish at a price of € 20 per game. How much profit will the golf course generate if it charges all players the same annual fee for becoming a member of the club? What if you…

Over theperiod quantity demanded of personal cars has increased from 450,000 units per yearto 600,000 units. Quantity demanded of public transport, however, has declined from10,000 buses to 7,000 buses. Calculate income elasticity of demand and tell whichproduct is a normal good and which one is inferior.
