The Hokey Pokey, a children's day care center is thinking about changing the nature of its business. It is considering shutting down the day care center, and re-opening their business as an adult night club called the Hanky Panky. The Hokey Pokey currently makes $500 in profits. However, re-opening as the Hanky Panky will increase their profits from $500 to $1500. Friendly's Ice Cream which is currently located next to the Hokey Pokey is concerned because this move would reduce its profits by $1200. This would occur because they lose many of the families who currently come to the restaurant (some of which have their kids in the day care center.) but very few adult night club patrons are looking for ice cream According to economic theory, will the efficient outcome still likely occur, if there were many more surrounding stores with similar objections to the Hanky Panky? A) Yes, because the Coase Theorem will still apply as parties will bargain to the…

← A brewery produces regular beer and a lower-carbohydrate "light" beer Steady customers of the brewery buy 10 units of regular beer and 15 units of light beer monthly. While setting up the brewery to produce the beers, the management decides to produce extra beer, beyond that needed to satisfy customers. The cost per unit of regular beer is $29,000 and the cost per unit of light beer is $50,000. Every unit of regular beer brings in $200,000 in revenue, while every unit of light beer brings in $500,000 in revenue. The brewery needs at least $15,000,000 in revenue, and has determined that the total demand will be at least 48 units of beer. Complete parts (a) and (b) CITTS (a) How much of each type of beer should be made so as to minimize total production costs? units of regular beer and units of light beer should be made, for a minimum total cost of $ $0 (Type integers or decimals) (b) Suppose the minimum revenue is increased to $15.700,000 Use shadow costs to calculate the total…

Problem 11-15 (algo) The American Baker's Association reports that annual sales of bakery goods last year rose 15 percent, driven by a 50 percent increase in the demand for bran muffins. Most of the increase was attributed to a report that diets rich in bran help prevent certain types of cancer. You are the manager of a bakery that produces and packages gourmet bran muffins, and you currently sell bran muffins in packages of three. However, as a result of this new report, a typical consumer's inverse demand for your bran muffins is now P = 7 - 0.5Q. If your cost of producing bran muffins is C(Q) = 2.5Q, determine the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package and the optimal package price. Instructions: Enter your response for the optimal package price rounded to two decimal places. Optimal package size: 9✔ units Optimal package price: $951.75 Ⓡ
