Shaughnessy Consulting, LLC currently enjoys a patent on software that estimates economic damages for clients involved in personal injury lawsuits. Demand for my software is QD = 287.5 – 12.5P. Creating the software cost me about $985 in development and coding. I can produce a copy of the software for $11 per unit (constant cost). How many copies of the software should I attempt to sell? At what price should I sell it? How much profit would I make? My patent expires in a year, and I know other economic consultants will produce competing software. What quantity and price will result once competing software emerges? How much consumer surplus will my clients (lawyers) gain once the competitors enter? (For measuring consumer surplus, recall that area of a triangle = ½ * base * height.) How much deadweight loss is created by my patent and monopoly in this software?

Thranduil company’s market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costs and 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold.Which of the following prices is the one that maximizes the company's profit?

At a recent board meeting, the president and CEO got into a heated argument about whether to shut down the firm's plant in Miami. The Miami plant currently loses $60,000 monthly. The president of the firm argued that the Miami plant should continue to operate, at least until a buyer is found for the production facility. The president's argument was based on the fact that the Miami plant's fixed costs are $68,000 per month. The CEO exploded over this point, castigating the president for considering fixed costs in making the shutdown decision. According to the CEO, "Everyone knows fixed costs don't matter!" (a). Should the Miami plant be closed or continue to operate at a loss in the short run? Explain your answer with a graphical representation. (b). How would you explain to the incorrect party that he or she is wrong?
You cannot equate coffee roaster explicit costs with coffee farmers’ explicit benefits, despite coffee roasters paying the farmers for their beans. What are some of the factors that account for this discrepancy? Why does the roaster care about the profitability of the coffee farmer? Why would they offset their reduced production costs by increasing the amount they pay to farmers?
