The market for full fare tickets (F)! Consider the following simplified scenario. Imagine that the Australian national rugby union (for short, Rugby AU) has exclusive rights to organize the games played by the national team. Rugby AU decides that the next match, between the Wallabies and the All Blacks (i.e., the Australian and the New Zeeland national rugby teams), will be hosted at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Rugby AU has no fixed costs for organizing the game, but it must pay a marginal cost MC of $20 per seat to the owners of the Marvel Stadium. Two types of tickets will be sold for the game: concession and full fare. Based on any official document that attests to their age, children and pensioners qualify to purchase concession tickets that offer a discounted price; everyone else pays the full fare. The demand for full-fare tickets is QF(P) = 120 – 2P. 1e. Suppose that the government is looking to tax Rugby AU to raise revenue for building new sport facilities for kids…

In mid-2010, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela (both members of OPEC)produced an average of 8 million and 3 million barrels of oil a day,respectively. Production costs were about $20 per barrel, and the price ofoil averaged $80 per barrel. Each country had the capacity to producean extra 1 million barrels per day. At that time, it was estimated that each1-million-barrel increase in supply would depress the average price of oilby $10.a. Fill in the missing profit entries in the payoff table.b.

According to Professor Kosmos, the demand for hot chocolate from the university café has the schedule QD = 2500 – 135p, where p is the price. The owner of the café says that their supply schedule is QS = 1600 + 315p. i) Identify the café’s daily profit maximising price and quantity. ii) When a new hot chocolate machine is installed, the Professor finds that the supply schedule has changed to QS = 1625 + 365p. What are the café’s new daily profit maximising price and quantity? iii) Find the price elasticity of demand for the café’s hot chocolate and comment on the result.
