ack is the owner of the only local bar in a small town.He sells whiskey in one-ounce glasses. For simplicity, let’s assume it doesn’t cost Jack anything to run his business. There are two customers, Adam and Burt who are twin brothers. Adam’s demand function is yA = 16 – 2p, and Burt’s demand function is yB = 8 – p (price is measured in dollars and quantity is measured by ounces). Jack knows their demand functions, but the problem is that he cannot tell them apart since they look exactly the same to him. To increase his profits, Jack offers the following two options that his customers can choose from:
(1) You can pay $T1 up front and drink as much as you want; or (2) Pay $T2 up front and the price per ounce of whiskey will be $p.
1.a If p = 4, what is the maximal T2 that Jack can charge so that Burt is willing to come to the bar?
1.b What is the maximal T1 that Jack can charge so that Adam will choose the first pricing option?

- Juan is wondering if he can earn higher profits in his liquor bottle manufacturing business. He purchases glass ingredients at a rate of $20 per 100 lbs. Each manufactured tequila bottle weighs 1 lb. Labour and related costs amount to $1.50 per bottle. Juan sells his ½ litre bottles to tequila producers for $3.00 each. Juan believes he can produce his own quality tequila which would sell for $17 per bottle. Even though high demand is keeping his factory busy all the time, there is a possibility that filling the bottles himself would make Juan wealthier. He believes that ingredients for one litre of tequila would cost $10. Added labour would amount to $4 per bottle. Variable overhead would add $2 per bottle. Should Juan fill his own bottles? Discuss all important factors and make recommendations.Juan Fox’ has started her own company, Foxy Jeans, which manufactures imprinted jeans. Since he just begun this operation, he rents the equipment from a local printing shop when necessary. The cost of using the equipment is P3,000. The materials used in one jean cost P200, and he can sell it at 350. Requirements: Provide for a mathematical model that will show how to maximize the profit.

As the owner of the dealerships, Oscar has the final say on pricing for each customer. Suppose that Oscar knows the willingness to pay of Customer A, B and C as soon as he meets them. What price should Oscar charge to each customer to maximize profits? What is the total amount of profits for the 3 customers and what is the total amount of consumer surplus for the 3 customers? Show your calculations. More realistically,…Mack and Gail are in the electronic and computer retail business and each of them for different businesses. At the business that Mack works at, his weekly earnings is $880 a week plus an 8% commission on sales. At the business that Gail works at, her weekly earnings is $960 a week plus a 6% commission on sales. Gail thinks that her salary structure is better than Mack’s salary structure. If e represents the weekly earnings (in dollars) and s represents the weekly sales (in dollars), then do the following A. For what weekly sales value (or values) are both salary structures equivalent? B.

Recently, a new chain of pizza restaurants has opened in town. The products sold by this new chain have lesser quality and use lesser quantity of ingredients (cheese, meat, fruit, and vegetable toppings) and are also priced 25 percent less than Hungry Henry’s equivalent size pizza. Dominic has seen his business decline somewhat since the new chain opened. This is especially true with the college students: How would you evaluate the new competitor’s pricing strategy? What steps would you advise Dominic to take to counter this competitor? Describe three specific strategies restaurants can use to communicate “quality, rather than low price,” to his potential customers.

As an employee, Garth earns $17 per hour and works 200 hours per month. Garth currently supplements his income with the interest he earns from having $30,000 in a savings account earning 5% annual interest. Instead of continuing to work for Superior Foods, Garth would like to start up his own dollar store called Just-a-Buck located in a strip mall close to his home.
