Reid has determined that the daily demand for doughnuts at his favorite bakery is described by the following equation: Qd = 3,300 - 3000P where Qd is the daily quantity demanded in number of doughnuts and P is the price per doughnuts in dollars. a. What is the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $0.70? b. Assume the price is currently $0.70. What is the marginal revenue obtained by selling one additional doughnut? c. The marginal cost of producing an additional doughnut is $0.10. What price should the bakery establish in order to maximize profits?
The Dolan Corporation, a maker of small engines, determines that in 2012 the demand curve for its product is P = 2,000 - 50Q where P is the price (in dollars) of an engine and Q is the number of engines sold per month. a. To sell 20 engines per month, what price would Dolan have to charge? b. If managers set a price of $500, how many engines will Dolan sell per month? c.

Jabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced four trucks, but then decided to increase production to five trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari’s HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $105,000 to $90,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial four engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000
Caustic sodaSuppose that demand for caustic soda in Freedonia is given by D(P) = 10000 - 2P, where the quantity demanded is measured in units per year and the price P is in $ per unit. The market for caustic soda in Freedonia is perfectly competitive and consists of many price-taking firms each operating an identical plant. Caustic soda production requires chlorine which all plants must buy from a monopolist named Freedonia Chlorine Corporation (FCC). FCC can produce chlorine at zero marginal cost and has no fixed costs. Producing one unit of caustic soda requires one unit of chlorine and FCC charges a price of PC per unit of chlorine. Caustic soda plants have constant marginal cost which is MC = $(PC + 1000). (For example, if PC = $200 then each plant has MC = $1200.) Suppose caustic soda firms have no fixed costs and there are no capacity constraints in the market. a. Suppose a new market opportunity opens up and FCC can now sell chlorine in Baldonia as a monopolist. Demand…

Suppose the equilibrium price in the market is $10 and the price elasticity of demand for the linear demand function at the market equilibrium is -1.25. Then we know that: demand is inelastic. marginal revenue is $2. marginal revenue is $50. demand is unit elastic.
Each year a new group of high school seniors chooses where they want to attend college. The college faces two identifiably different categories of customers, in-state and out-of-state students. The (inverse) demand equation for in-state students is given by PI=$9000- QI, while demand by out-of-state students is given by PO= $21,000 -9QO. P represents the annual tuition charged by the college and Q represents the number of students who enter as freshmen. The marginal cost of educating an additional student is constant and equal to $3000. Suppose that the Board of Trustees wants to act as a profit-maximizing monopolist in setting price and output. What tuition should they charge for in-state and out-of-state students, and how many of each would enroll each year?
V4. : B1, C2, B2 A theatre charges 12$ per tickets for musical shows. Average attendance at these shows is 16,000. However, last year they charged 13$ and the average attendances were 13,5000. Required Assuming attendance to be purely price dependent. What is demand function for the theatre?
3. Pindyck & Rubinfeld, 8e. Ch. 11, #9. You are an executive for Super Computer, Inc. (SC), which rents out super computers. SC receives a fixed rental payment per time period in exchange for the right to unlimited computing at a rate of P cents per second. SC has two types of potential customers of equal number—10 businesses and 1 10 academic institutions. Each business customer has the demand function Q = 10−P, where Q is in millions of seconds per month; each academic institution has the demand Q = 8 − P. The marginal cost to SC of additional computing is 2 cents per second, regardless of volume. (a) Suppose you could separate business and academic customers. What rental fee and usage fee would you charge each group? What would be your profits? (b) Suppose you were unable to keep the two types of customers separate and charged a zero rental fee. What usage fee would maximize your profits? What would be your profits? (c) Suppose you set up one two-part tariff—that is, you set one…
The Johnson Robot Company’s marketing managers estimate that the demand curve for the company’s robots in 2008 is P = 3,000 - 40Q where P is the price of a robot and Q is the number sold per month.
