4. Windies Cricket manufactures Windies supporter jerseys. The quantity q, of these
jerseys demanded weekly is related to the wholesale price per jersey p, by the
following equation:
P = 0.006q+15
The weekly total cost incurred by Windies Cricket for producing q jerseys is:
C(q) = 38q - 0.02q² + 30,000
d. Will Windies Cricket record a loss or profit if they were to produce and sell 2450
jerseys?
e. If Windies Cricket wishes to maintain a total cost less than $42,000.00, what
range(s) of Windies jerseys should be produced.
f. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for Windies jerseys.

- Assume that Gas & Minerals is the only copper mining firm in Chile. The national demand for copper in thousands of tonnes per month is: q^d(p) = 15 - pThe total costs in millions of dollars are: c(q) = 5q(a) What would be the profit-maximising level of production for this firm? Determine the monopoly price and quantify the profits. Graph the demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost, identifying their values along with determining the social loss generated and identifying it in the graph above. Assume now that due to a bad internal restructuring, the operations manager was fired and a professional with little mining experience was hired. The new manager does not know environmental protocol and mining waste (tailings) has gotten out of control and has been dumped into a river. This generated a negative externality on copper production. The estimated damage is US$5 million per 1,000 tonnes.(b) Obtain the social marginal cost of this mining activity.(c) What level of production will…arrow_forwardYou are managing a firm with market power, and you think the price elasticity of demand for your product is between 1.3 and 1.5. You estimate that your marginal cost is between $55 and $70. The price that you should set would range between $ and $. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) If you refine your estimate of the marginal cost to $80, the price you should set would now range between $ and $ (Round your answers to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardHotel Del Luna has 10 rooms with a marginal cost of $20. During the high season, the demand equation is QH = 700- 2PH, where QH is the number of rooms and PH is the room %3D rate per night during the high season. During the low season, the demand equation is Q1, = 420 PL, where QL, is the number of rooms and P, is the room rate per night during the low season.
