Question
Chapter 2, Problem 30P
a)
Summary Introduction
To develop: A model for the company’s profit as a function of the price it charges and use a data table to find the profit maximizing price to the nearest pound.
Profit maximization:
The combination of inputs and outputs an organization must consider in a way such that it provides the maximum profit. It involves the efficient use of the resources present.
b)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The impact of modification in exchange rate on the profit-maximizing price and maximum profit.

how is the price of Fertilizer determined? we know that the price of a good is formed from the interaction of supply and demand. Producers will not sell a good below the cost of production. Demand changes the price due to competition; more demand drives the price up, less demand brings the price down. when you discuss how the price is determined:
Taxes: is the good taxed? (e.g. cigarettes have a high tax)
Costs of production: (resources, labor, etc.)
Transportation
Competition: is the good in high demand?
Give a summary of the factors that go into the price of the good.
(asked before but want better answer)
For the supply equation below, x is the quantity supplied in units of 1000 and p is the unit price in dollars.
p =1/2x + 40; p = 49
b) Determine the number of units of the commodity the supplier will make available in the market at the given unit price. thousand units

- Suppose the demand for a particular good is given by = QD 103-15P, where QD represents the quantity demanded and P is the per unit price. Suppose the supply for a particular good is given by QS 5+ 6P, where QS represents the quantity supplied and P is the per unit price. What is the equilibrium quantity?

Consider the following simple derivative. A stocks current price is 80 per share. You purchase a derivative whose value to you becomes known a month from now. Specifically, let P be the price of the stock in a month. If P is between 75 and 85, the derivative is worth nothing to you. If P is less than 75, the derivative results in a loss of 100(75-P) dollars to you. (The factor of 100 is because many derivatives involve 100 shares.) If P is greater than 85, the derivative results in a gain of 100(P-85) dollars to you. Assume that the distribution of the change in the stock price from now to a month from now is normally distributed with mean 1 and standard deviation 8. Let EMV be the expected gain/loss from this derivative. It is a weighted average of all the possible losses and gains, weighted by their likelihoods. (Of course, any loss should be expressed as a negative number. For example, a loss of 1500 should be expressed as -1500.) Unfortunately, this is a difficult probability calculation, but EMV can be estimated by an @RISK simulation. Perform this simulation with at least 1000 iterations. What is your best estimate of EMV?arrow_forward
- A company manufacturers a product in the United States and sells it in England. The unit cost of manufacturing is 50. The current exchange rate (dollars per pound) is 1.221. The demand function, which indicates how many units the company can sell in England as a function of price (in pounds) is of the power type, with constant 27556759 and exponent 2.4. a. Develop a model for the companys profit (in dollars) as a function of the price it charges (in pounds). Then use a data table to find the profit-maximizing price to the nearest pound. b. If the exchange rate varies from its current value, does the profit-maximizing price increase or decrease? Does the maximum profit increase or decrease?arrow_forwardSolve the following problem.

If the market demand is high, he would get a return of $100,000, but if there were a low demand for this type of razor, he would lose $60,000. Daegu also considers the possibility of ordering a market survey to gather additional information about the market demand. The survey includes a sophisticated questionnaire administered to a test market and costs $5,000. Daegu believes that there is a 62:38 chance that the market information will be favorable (i.e., predicting a high market demand) and unfavorable (i.e., predicting a low market demand). Furthermore, the probabilities of a favorable survey given a high market demand and an unfavorable survey given a low demand are both 0.8. Daegu is not sure if the value of the survey is worth the cost Draw the decision tree and advise Daeguarrow_forward
