The only gas station in a small town sells both regular and premium gasoline. The weekly demand functions for the two gasolines are Qdregular = 10,000-1,000 Pregular+50 Ppremium Qdpremium = 350 + 50 Pregular-100Ppremium where quantities are measured in gallons and prices in dollars per gallon. If the price of regular gas is $3.70 per gallon, its marginal cost is $2.95, and the marginal cost of premium is $3.75, what is the profit - maximizing price of premium gas?

3. Garibaldi Provincial Park is located between Squamish and Whistler. A travel cost survey was completed to estimate demand for trips to the park. Bascd on the survey an estimated demand function was derived to represent an average household: P= 200 – 50Q. This is demand per year per household. If there are approximately 2000 households with a travel cost of $150, 3000 households with a travel cost of $100, and 4000 households with a travel cost of $50, what is the total consumer surplus per year from the park?

Sal’s Streaming Company streams TV shows to subscribers in the US and Canada. Demand is??? = 50 − (1⁄3)??? and ??? = 80 − (2/3)???where ?’s are in thousands of subscriptions per year and ?’s are the subscription prices per year.The cost of providing ? units of service is given by ?? = 1000 + 30?, where ? = ??? + ???.(a) What are the profit-maximizing prices and quantities for the US and Canadian markets?(b) As a consequence of a new VPN service that Facebook has developed, subscribers in Canadaare now able to get the US streams and vice versa, so Sal can charge only a single price. Whatis the profit-maximizing single price that he should charge?(c) In which situation is Sal better off? In terms of consumers’ surplus which situation do peoplein Canada prefer and which do people in the US prefer? Why?
Multichoice company broadcasts to subscribers in Lusaka and Solwezi. The demand for each ofthese two groups are Qsz= 50 - (1/3) Ps and QUSK= 80 - (2/3) Pusk, where Q is in thousands ofsubscriptions per year and P is the subscription price per year. The cost of providing Q units.ofservice is given by C (Q) = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qsz + QusK. Assuming Multichoice is aMonopoly and can engage in third-price discrimination, then1. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Solwezi Market?2. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Lusaka Market?3. Suppose the Monopoly can only charge a single.
