Valair is an airline flying a particular route that has seasonal demand.The firm's total demand is given by:Q = 600 – 4Pwhere Qis the number of passengers per year, in thousands, and Pis thefare (in £). In the peak season the demand is given by:QH = 320 – 1.5PHand in the off-season the demand is given by:QL = 280 – 2.5PLassume that fixed costs are £6 million per year and that marginal costsare constant at £60 per passenger. Thus the cost function is given by:C= 6000 + 60Qwhere C is total costs (in £'000).a. Calculate the profit-maximizing price and output without pricediscrimination, and the size of the profit.b. Calculate the profit-maximizing price and output with pricediscrimination, and the size of the profit.c. Calculate the demand elasticities of the two segments at theirprofit-maximizing prices.

On the off chance that the carrier charges similar costs in each market, we get the benefit…

Your brother is considering two cell phone providers i.e. UFONE and MOBILINK. Q2. UFONE charges Rs.520 (super card) per month for the service regardless of the number of phone calls made. MOBILINK does not have a fixed service fee but instead charges Rs. 1 per minute for calls. Your brother's monthly demand for minutes of calling is given by the equation Qd = 150 - 50P, where P is the price of a minute a. With each service provider, what is the cost to your brother of an extra minute on the phone? b. In light of your answer to (a) part, how many minutes would your brother talk on the phone with each service provider? c. How much would he end up paying each provider every month?

A botanical garden estimates a demand for visits per month as Q = 16 - 2P, where P is the entry fee per visit and Q is monthly visits in 1,000s. There is constant marginal cost of admitting another person to the botanical garden as MC = 2. Mangers currently charge price of P = 5 to enter, resulting in Q = 6 visits (i.e., 6,000 visits per month). The managers are considering a new pricing strategy where they require visitors to pay a flat fee to join a membership to the gardens but then lower the price per visit. a. What price should be charged per visit to the botanical gardens? b. How visits are there at this price? c. What is the maximum amount that visitors would be willing to pay for memberships? Explain.

A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $468,000, and it costs $1400 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2400 for the TV, it will be able to sell 750 TVs. If the company wants to sell 800 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2100. Assume a linear demand. What price should the company charge to earn a profit of $742,000?
