[10] Suppose a retail seller of jeans currently has 40 customers. The retailer offers the following quantity discount to these 40 customers. Buy the 1* pair of jeans at a price of $100, buy a 2d pair of jeans at a price of $80, buy a 3d pair of jeans at a price of $60, and buy a 4t pair of jeans at a price of $40. Suppose the cost to the retailer for each pair of jeans is $40. Suppose of these 40 customers, all buy the 1ª pair of jeans, 30 of these 40 buy a 2nd pair of jeans, 20 of these 30 (i.e., those who bought a 2nd pair) buy a 3d pair, and 10 of the 20 (i.e., those who bought a 3ªd pair) buy a 4“ pair. The profit to the retailer from selling jeans to these 40 customers in this way equals: А. $4000 В. $4600 С. $6200 D.

You decide to sell pairs of running shoes. Assume that the quantity demanded is alinear function of the price. It is known that if you charge $40 per pair of shoes, thenyou will be able to sell 400 pairs of shoes in a month. If you charge $60 per pair ofrunning shos, then you can sell 300 pairs of shoes in a month. It is also known thatyour monthly fixed cost is $100 and pairs of shoes cost $20 per shoe to produce. Findwhat price you should charge for a pair of shoes in order to maximize profit in amonth

An estate agent advertises its houses in two media; Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times. The agent believes that there is a relationship between the sales S and the amounts spent on the two advertising media. The relationship is given by; where, d is the amount spent in Daily Graphic and g is the amount spent in Ghanaian Times. The estate’s agent fee is 12½% and this includes the cost of adverting. If the agent has planned to spend only 200 thousand Ghana Cedis on advertisement, show how it should be allocated between the two media in order to maximize net profit.
It is estimated that a grocer’s daily profit from the sale of two brands of cherry juice is given by thefunction:P(x,y) = (x - 30)(70 - 5x + 4y) + (y – 40)(80 + 6x – 7y) centswhere x is the price per can of Brand V Juice and y is the price per can of Brand Triple V Juice. CurrentlyBrand V Juice sells for 50 cents per can and Brand Triple V Juice sells for 52 cents per can.i. Use marginal analysis to estimate the change in the daily profit that will result if the grocer raises theprice of Brand Triple V by one cent per can while keeping the price of Brand V unchanged.ii. Find a stationary point of the daily profit function. Classify this stationary point.

Kroger, the country's leading grocery-only chain, added a line of private label organic and natural foods call Simple Truth to its stores. If you've priced organic foods, you know they are more expensive. For example, a dozen conventionally farmed Grade-A eggs at Kroger costs consumers $2.3, whereas Simple Truth eggs are priced at $4.8 per dozen. One study found that, overall, the average price of organic foods is 85 percent more than that of conventional foods. However, if prices get too high, consumers will not purchase the organic options. One element of sustainability is organic farming, which costs much more than conventional farming, and those higher costs are passed on to consumers. Suppose that a conventional egg farmer's average fixed costs per year for conventionally-farmed eggs are $1 million per year, but an organic egg farmer's fixed costs are three times that amount. Further assume that the organic farmer's variable costs of $2.6 per dozen are twice as…

Mika earns $395 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol. The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $5/unit. If Mika receives an additional $71/week in food stamps that can only be used to buy food at the grocery store (so, this money could be used to buy food but NOT alcohol), what is the slope of Mika's budget constraint at the point where the constraint intersects the vertical axis, were she to graph quantity of food on the horizontal axis and quantity of alcohol on the vertical axis? (Note: The numbers may change between questions, so read carefully).
