Your current prices are $311 in the Southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21. Given the predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 using the stay even analysis %ΔQd = %ΔP/[%ΔP +((P-MC)/P)], can you raise prices by 7% in any of the regional markets? State your conclusion and then show the all the steps supporting your conclusion. (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price. The predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 are: 19.32 or 19% percent change in quantity demanded for the Southwestern region Western Region is 0.245 or 24.5 or 25% NE Region is 0.4032 or 40.32 or 40% I don't understand this question and need assistance.
It costs $250 to produce an X-Box. We are trying todetermine the selling price for the X-Box. Prices between$200 and $400 are under consideration, with demand forprices of $200, $250, $350, and $400 given below. SupposeMSFT earns $10 in profit for each game that an X-Boxowner purchases.

Assume that there is only a single seller of papadums, and she knows eachbuyer’s willingness to pay. Assume that this seller incurs a cost of $4.00 perunit of papadum produced (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). If she intends to maximise profits, how many papadums would this seller supply to the market, and what price would she charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold. Hint: start at a price of $17 and calculate what profit would be. Then lower the price just enough to attract an additional buyer and calculate what the new profit would be. Repeat this until all four buyers are purchasing the good and then check which price yields the highest profit. Alternatively, you can calculate the marginal revenue from lowering the price to attract an additional buyer and compare it to marginal cost.
The global pandemic 2020 has promoted a race to capture the market for introducing effective vaccine and treatments. (please use excel/word) a)- If PFIZER is the sole vaccine provider given the following information, answer the questions below: Output Price/Unit Total Cost 1 5500 1000 2 5000 1200 3 4500 1500 4 4000 2500 5 3500 4000 6 3000 5700 7 2500 7500 8 2000 9400 9 1500 11400 10 1000 13500 Given the tabular information above find the profit-maximizing output and price also illustrate the same using the two-dimensional labeled diagram. Show the calculation as well. (use excel) b)- Assume if many firms enter into the business of providing vaccine determine: How the demand curve of PFIZER would change and how it would now maximize its profit? The kind of market structure now PFIZER is forced to operate in? Also,…
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibrium
As CEO of firm A, you and your management team face the decision ofwhether to undertake a $200 million R&D effort to create a new megamedicine.Your research scientists estimate that there is a 40 percentchance of successfully creating the drug. Success means securing aworldwide patent worth $550 million (implying a net profit of $350million). However, firm B (your main rival) has just announced that it isspending $150 million to pursue development of the same medicine (bya scientific method completely independent of yours). You judge that B’schance of success is 30 percent. Furthermore, if both firms aresuccessful, they will split equally the available worldwide profits($275 million each) based on separate patents.a. Given its vast financial resources, firm A is risk neutral. Should firm Aundertake the $200 million R&D effort? (Use a decision tree to justifyyour answer.)b. Now suppose that it is feasible for firm A to delay its R&D decisionuntil after the result of B’s…
Lefola limited is the only manufacture of producr G easy in the popa land. It has provided documented levels of demand at certain selling prices for product Geasy which are as follows: Price per unit demand units total costs 7000 0 3000 6000 1 5000 5000 2 8000 4000 3 12000 3000 4 17000 2000 5 23000 1000 6 30000 Using a tabular approach, calculate the marginal revenues and marginal costs for product G-Easy at the different levels of demand, and so determine the sellibg pruce at which lefola limited's profits are maximized.
