- Suppose the market for Hula Hoops is monopolized by a single firm. a. Draw the initial equilibrium for such a market. b. Now suppose the demand for Hula Hoops shifts outward slightly. Show that, in general (contrary to the competitive case), it will not be possible to predict the effect of this shift in demand on the market price of Hula Hoops. c. Consider three possible ways in which the price elasticity of demand might change as the demand curve shifts: It might increase, it might decrease, or it might stay the same. Consider also that marginal costs for the monopolist might be increasing, decreasing, or constant in the range where MR=MC Consequently, there are nine different combinations of types of demand shifts and marginal cost slope configurations. Analyze each of these to determine for which it is possible to make a definite prediction about the effect of the shift in demand on the price of Hula Hoops.Gliberace's Fashion Accessories of Las Vegas produces gem-stone encrusted formal wear for sale in Los Angeles and San Francisco subject to total cost TC = 100 + 5(QLA + QSF). Demand for Gliberace's stones in the two cities is given by QLA = 70 - 2PLA and QSF = 55 - PSF. If Gliberace price discriminates between the two cities, what will its maximum profits be? $975 $750 $825 $1,175 $1,075At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. The café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i.e., she cannot price discriminate).Students with Early Classes Students without Early ClassesCoffee $0.70 $0.60Banana $0.50 $1.00The marginal cost of coffee is $0.10. The marginal cost of a banana is $0.40. Is bundling more profitable than selling separately? If so, what price should be charged for the bundle?
- Q2. a) define the income elasticity of demand? b) what is the normal and an inferior good? c) define the cross-price elasticity of demand? d) Compare and contrast monopoly and perfect competition market structures in the Long-run.There are two types of consumers in Melbourne: students and non-students. The student population is 10, and each student's demand of printing paper is Qs, = 1-p, for p<1. The non-student population is 40, and each non-student's demand of printing paper is Qa =3-p. for p <3. Suppose OfficeMax is the only seller of printing paper in Melboume Assume zero production cost. a. OfficeMax introduces printing paper in smaller packages targeting the students. The non-students are willing to pay 5 for a smaller package and 7 for a standard package, and the students are willing to pay 3 for a smaller package and 4 for a standard package. If a consumer does not purchase, her utility is zero. Find all the prices, Ps, for a smaller package and Pn, for a standard package, so that the students choose the smaller packages and the non-students choose the standard ones. b. What is the profit maximizing prices Ps, and Pn? Given those prices, what is a student's utility from purchasing a smaller…8 . Individual Problems 14-6 At a student café, there are equal numbers of two types of customers with the following values. The café owner cannot distinguish between the two types of students because many students without early classes arrive early anyway (i.e., she cannot price-discriminate). Students with Early Classes Students without Early Classes Coffee 70 60 Banana 51 101 The marginal cost of coffee is 10 and the marginal cost of a banana is 40. The café owner is considering three pricing strategies: 1. Mixed bundling: Price bundle of coffee and a banana for 161, or just a coffee for 70. 2. Price separately: Offer coffee at 60, price a banana at 101. 3. Bundle only: Coffee and a banana for 121. Do not offer goods separately. Assume that if the price of an item or bundle is no more than exactly equal to a student's willingness to pay, then the student will purchase the item or bundle. For simplicity, assume there is just one student…

The price elasticity of demand for A is 1.2, for B it is 1.00 and for C it is 0.75.It is known that he firm is experiencing serious cash flow problems and you have toincrease total revenue as soon as possible. If you were in a position to set the pricesfor these goods, what would be your pricing strategy for each product10 A "profit-maximizing" price searcher will want to charge a price that is greater than marginal revenue.
