- Suppose that BMW can produce any quantity of cars at a constant marginal cost equal to$50 and a fixed cost of $22,500. You are asked to advise the CEO as to what prices andquantities BMW should set for sales in Europe and in the United States to maximize its profits.The demand for BMWs in each market is given by:QE = 8,000 – 80PE and QU = 4,000 – 20 PU,where the subscript E denotes Europe, the subscript U denotes the United States. Assume thatBMW can restrict U.S. sales to authorized BMW dealers only. Support your answersgraphically as well.a. If, by an international agreement between Europe and United States, BMW wereforced to charge the same price in each market, what would be the quantity sold in eachmarket, the equilibrium price, and the company’s profit?b. Suppose now that Europe and United States signed a new trade package under whichBMW now can charge different prices across the two markets. What quantity of BMWsshould the firm sell in each market, and what should the price be…J&R Construction Company is an international conglomerate with a real estate division that owns the right to erect an office building on a parcel of land in downtown Sacramento over the next year. This building would cost $15 million to construct. Due to low demand for office space in the downtown area, such a building is worth approximately $13.5 million today. If demand increases, the building would be worth $16.8 million a year from today. If demand decreases, the same office building would be worth only $12 million in a year. The company can borrow and lend at the risk-free annual effective rate of 6 percent. A local competitor in the real estate business has recently offered $728,000 for the right to build an office building on the land. What is the value of the office building today? Use the two-state model to value the real option.

Bodyguard Ltd. was established in Hong Kong in 2020. It produces surgical masks sold to retailers, like personal cares stores, in Hong Kong. With its unique Chinese pattern printed on the masks, it also sells good in North America and Canada since 2021. Bodyguard adopts standardized marketing strategy worldwide. Recently, Bodyguard would enter into a contract with a vendor in Vietnam to expand its production capacity. However, Bodyguard’s managers have heard reports that the vendor operates factories with sweatshop conditions, which is not acceptable in Hong Kong. Employment in sweatshops provides a source of income for women in Vietnam, who can earn more wages than in many other jobs, which bring them food, nutrition and education for their children. Sweatshop is a preferred working place of Vietnamese. (c) Explain the TWO approaches in handling ethical dilemma – relativism and normativism. What would be the ethical…
- When Apple introduced its first portable media player, the iPod, its constant marginal cost of producing the top-of-the-line model was $200 (iSuppli), its fixed cost was approximately $736 million, and we estimate that its inverse demand function was p = 600 - 25Q, where Q is units measured in millions. Be sure to express your answers in the proper units, where needed. a. What was Apple's average cost function? b. Assuming that Apple was maximizing its short-run monopoly profit, what was its marginal revenue function? c. What were its profit-maximizing price, quantity, profit and Lerner Index? d. What was the price elasticity of demandhas established that the relationship between the price for one of its products is approximately. In addition there is a fixed cost of $45,000 per year and the variable cost to manufacture the product is $45 per unit. What level of demand maximizes the total revenue? Ans. is Blank 1. What level of demand maximizes the total profit for this product? Ans. is Blank 2. Blank 1_____________ Blank 2_____________Exercise 4.6 An econometrician hired to analyse a local golf course has determined that there are two types of golfers, the regular and the occasional. The annual demand for games from regular players is given by QH = 24 – 0.3P, where P is the price of a round of golf. On the other hand, the annual demand for occasional items is given by QO = 10 – 0.1P. The marginal cost and the average total cost per item are equal to €20. a) If you could distinguish between regular and casual players, what price would be set for each type? How many games would each type of player play? How much profit could the golf course generate? Represent graphically. b) As an alternative to the discrimination of third degree prices, those in charge consider a double tranche rate according to which the members can play as many games as they wish at a price of € 20 per game. How much profit will the golf course generate if it charges all players the same annual fee for becoming a member of the club? What if you…
- Habib Bank Limited estimates equation of demand of its product as: Q = 55 – 0.5P - (where P = price and Q = Quantity of output), and its total cost of production as TC = 20 + Q + 0.2Q2 Where TC = total cost and Q = Quantity of output) Write the equations of the firm’s costs, as a function of Q: Average Total Cost ATC? Average Variable Cost AVC? Average Fixed Cost AFC.? Marginal Cost MC? The output level that will maximize total profit and the amount of revenue and profit that Habib Bank would receive at optimal level of production.? The output level that minimizes average total cost.? please answer all questionsAccording to International Data Corporation (IDC), the number of worldwide smartphone owners will soon exceed 1.5 billion. That number is expected to grow at nearly 10 percent per year for the next five years. While the actual cost of a smartphone is about $300, wireless carriers in some countries offer their customers a “free” smartphone with a two-year wireless service agreement. Is this pricing strategy rational? ExplainQuestion Google is considering an advertising campaign that is expected to increase the sales of its Pixel phone by 20%. Suppose that currently Google sells 1,000,000 units at $500 per unit and the variable cost per unit is $300. If the cost of the advertising campaign is $50 million, will Google find it acceptable? Question An attractive feature of new cell phones that was introduce d in recent years is that you can switch carriers easily with the same device. How does this feature affect demand for wireless phone services? What are the likely effects on the demand that a particular US carrier is facing? Are there any elasticities that were likely to be affected?
- Assume Allergan, Inc. is facing a capacity constraint in manufacturing Botox®. Analytically, this implies its marginal cost curve is extremely steep. As Botox® is oftentimes used for cosmetic reasons, it is reasonable to assume consumers have quite elastic demand curves. Hypothetically, assume a forthcoming study will highlight the safety of Botox® for cosmetic procedures. Given this potential study, where should Allergan, Inc. focus its strategic resources? a. Operations, specifically finding ways to lower costs in an effort to justify a price increase. b. Staffing, specifically preparing to significantly increase its staff to prepare for a large increase in the number of units of Botox® sold. c. Marketing/Pricing, specifically preparing to significantly raise the price for Botox®.In a market with a single price-making firm with total costc(y) = 2y, the industry demand is givenbyQ= 100−2p. a) Find the inverse industry demand by solving forp, then graph the inverse industry demandwith price on they-axis. b) How do you expect the price of the good to be relative to its marginal cost?c) How do you expect the Lerner Index to be in relation to 0 and 1? Will it be 0? Will it be 1? d) Find the optimal supply and the equilibrium price in this market. Does the price match yourexpectations? e) Calculate the Lerner Index and mark-up in this market. Does this match your expectationsfor the Lerner Index?A price-taking firm in a competitive industry of a good that is continuously divisible (like sand) has a total cost function TC(Q) = 3.5Q^2 + 100Q + 500. The market price for the good is p = $240. a: Carefully write out this firm’s profit maximization problem, using the particulars of thisproblem. b: Give the marginal condition (equation) that characterizes the solution to this problem.
