The Poster Bed Company believes that its industry can best be classified as monopolistically competitive. An analysis of the demand for its canopy bed has resulted in the following estimated demand function for the bed: P=1,265-9Q The cost analysis department has estimated the total cost function for the poster bed as TC=-15Q² +5Q+24,000 Short-run profits are maximized when the level of output is The total profit at this price-output level is S The point price elasticity of demand at the profit-maximizing level of output is The level of fixed costs the firm is experiencing on its bed production is What is the impact of a $5,000 increase in the level of fixed costs on the price charged, output produced, and profit generated? Price Charged Output Produced Profits Generated Increase No change Decrease and the price is S O O

Suppose a manager is faced with the following demand curve for a new software application in a monopoly market, Q = 200 - 50P and the short run total cost function is TC = 2Q + Q2 / 30 If the manager is able to maximize the firms' profit in this monopoly market, what is the total profit value?
Robert’s New Way Vacuum Cleaner Company is a newly started small business that produces vacuum cleaners and belongs to a monopolistically competitive market. Its demand curve for the product is expressed as Q = 5000 – 25P where Q is the number of vacuum cleaners per year and P is in dollars. Cost estimation processes have determined that the firm’s cost function is represented by TC = 1500 + 20Q + 0.02Q2. Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary. What are the profit-maximizing price and output levels? Explain them and calculate algebraically for equilibrium P (price) and Q (output). Then, plot the MC (marginal cost), D (demand), and MR (marginal revenue) curves graphically and illustrate the equilibrium point. How much economic profit do you expect that Robert’s company will make in the first year? Do you expect this economic profit level to continue in subsequent years? Why or why not?
A regional airline is the only carrier on a local air route and must determine the number of flights it will provide per month, and the fare it will charge. The estimated cost – fuel, airport charges, pilots, etc. – per flight is $2,000, and each flight is expected to be full, with 100 passengers. Thus the marginal cost per passenger may be considered to be $20.The estimated demand curve is P = 117 - 0.005Q, where P is the fare in dollars and Q is the number of passengers per month. What is the monthly profit if the airline chooses the profit-maximizing fare and number of flights? (Do not include $ sign in your answer. Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearlest whole number.)

A demand of 230 banquet attendees can be expected at a dinner plate price of $80.00 each. A demand of 370 banquet attendees can be expected at a dinner plate price of $45.00 each. Catering Service A has a fixed cost of $1,800 and a marginal cost of $30 for each plate. Catering Service B has a fixed cost of $2,500 and a marginal cost of $22 for each plate. Costs for both caterers include the food, drinks, plates, utensils, tablecloths, glasses, crew, and cleanup. Dinner plates will only be sold as an entire unit. To justify company resources and to ensure the event will benefit the charity, the CEO insists the tickets be sold for no less than $40. All profits will go toward a charity of the committee's choosing. Additional spontaneous donation to the charity will be accepted the night of the banquet. Studies estimate that 5% will give $5, 23% will give $20, 18% will give $50, 7% will give $100, and 2% will give $500. Find the Profit function, P(x) , for each of the two possible…
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
The company that produces microwave ovens operates in a competitive environment. The total cost function has the form:TC = 100 + Q2 Define : 1) how many furnaces need to be produced to get the maximum profit, if the price of the furnace is 60; 2) what is the profit of the company.
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function: C′(q)=700/0.5q+2 where qq is the quantity of bicycles produced. When calculating the marginal revenue and marginal profit in this problem, use the approach given for the marginal cost and marginal revenue in the discussions in your textbook. a) If the fixed cost in producing the bicycles is $3200, find the total cost to produce 35 bicycles.Answer: $ b) If the bikes are sold for $250 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 35 bikes?Answer: $ c) What is the marginal profit on bike number 36?Answer: $
Demand function is given by Q=84-2P and cost function is C(q)=25+2q+q2 1) What are the qualitative features of the costs of this cost function? i.e. average, marginal, variable, properties, and what are the key prices – shut price, breakeven price, revenue maximizing and profit maximizing price? 2) Using this cost structure and demand - how many firms are likely to operate in the long run (note: that in the long run firms tend to operate close to minimum average cost)?
The FIA Formula 1 World Championship to be held during the 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix has a total cost function equal to CT = Q33 + Q2 + 125Q and an inverse demand function of P = 200−2Q. Now suppose there is a new company managing this event, so the total cost function becomes CT = 4Q. This new company intends to sell at two different prices depending on the place that the spectators occupy at the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome. For the Red Zone Boxes. The estimated demand will be q1 = 32−12p1 and for the Green Zone Boxes It will be q2 = 42 − p2. The number of tickets sold for the Red Zone and Green Zone will be: 15; 84 23; 16 15; 19 33; 45
