Q. In an article about the financial problems of USA Today, Newsweek reported that the paper was losing about $20 million a year. A Wall Street analyst said that the paper should raise its price from 50 cents to 75 cents, which he estimated would bring in an additional $65 million a year. The paper's publisher rejected the idea, saying that circulation could drop sharply after a price increase, citing the Wall Street Journal's experience after it increased its price to 75 cents. What implicit assumptions are the publisher and the analyst making about price elasticity?

- Your task is to show what the profit of this firm might look like using a key economics diagram. To make graphing easier, we will consider the price of the Ozempic drug for the middle-income country Bangladesh, which is $38 (assumed the profit-maximising price). For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.arrow_forwardSuppose you run a flower-delivery business andemploy college students to drive the vans and makedeliveries.

On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Deborah realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Carlos and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Deborah knows that if they both work hard, Carlos will earn $90 on the beach and Deborah will earn $180 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: = $135. If Carlos shirks, he'll generate only $50 in earnings. Deborah does not know that Carlos estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $25. $90+$180 Once out of Deborah's sight, Carlos faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort). In terms of Carlos's total utility, it is better for him…arrow_forward

Next, the movie cuts to the president of the company, played by Tim Robbins, and we see him sitting behind a big desk waiting to hear how the launch of the hula hoop is going. It does not go well. The price starts to drop, first to $1.59, then $1.49 and so on down until the hula hoop is "free with any purchase." Even this is not enough to attract consumers. So the toy store owner throws the hula hoops out into the alley behind the store. At his point, it is a fluke that changes the direction of the entire movie.
