Answer within 45min please Suppose that Andrew’s Hotel will be open for only two days: a peak season day and anoff-peak day. Andrew has two types of costs: room construction costs and guest service costs. Thecost of servicing any guest is 50 dollars. The cost of building a room is 400 dollars, but rooms canbe used for both types of day. Inverse demand for peak days is P = 1000 −Q, and demand foroff-peak is P = 500 −2Q.What prices should Andrew, who is looking to maximize his profits, set, and how many roomsshould he build?

ONLY ANSWER QUESTION #2 1. Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And “Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online.”Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 28 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to verify…
