(show complete solution, formula and explanation) A company produces and sells a consumer product and thus far has been able to control the volume of the product by varying the selling price. The company is seeking to maximize its net proﬁt. It has been concluded that the relationship between price and demand, per month, is approximately D = 500 – 5p, where p is the price per unit in dollars. The ﬁxed cost is $1,000 per month, and the variable cost is $20 per unit. Obtain the answer mathematically to the following questions: a.What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold per month? b.What is the maximum proﬁt per month? c.What are the breakeven sales quantities and the range of proﬁtable demand volume?
You are hired as a consultant at a revenue management firm and one of ourrecent clients wished to determine the optimum price for their consumer electronics product.The cost of the product is $100 and before retaining us, they had been selling the product at$200 because it felt like a nice round number. The current sales volume is 1000 units peryear. We examined the market preferences and buying behavior, and concluded that thiscompany’s marketplace has a price elasticity of 1 (i.e. Assume that an x% change in pricewill result in an x% change in sales volume for any x). What is the optimal price thatmaximizes total profit for this company? What are the sales volume, total revenue and totalprofit at the optimal price?

India’s Tata Motors was moving forward with a strategy focused on small inexpensive cars, even though this was a highly competitive market segment, dominated by Japanese auto makers. The company’s aim was to design a small car that would be significantly cheaper to make and buy than any other model, and thus to satisfy India’s mass market demand for low – cost transportation. The result was the Nano, with a sales price of 100, 000 rupees (US$2,500), which was half the price of its closest competitor in India. Tata Motors achieved this by designing everything from scratch, deleting features that were taken for granted by other auto makers (for example air conditioning, power brakes, radios), using lightweight steel and an aluminium engine, and building in fuel efficiency. Being the part of such a large TATA group is itself a competitive advantage. This affiliation provides the company with the needed knowledge and technology resources for taking their business to various parts of the…

It has been concluded that the relationship between price and demand, per month, is approximately D = 500 - 5p, where p is the price per unit in dollars. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month, and the variable cost is $20 per unit. Obtain the answer mathematically to the following questions: a.What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold per month? b. What is the maximum profit per month? c. What are the breakeven sales quantities and the range of profitable demand volume?
Rail Tours, Inc., sells packaged tours on rail lines, including gourmet meals and a reserved bed. The most popular tours are in the autumn, when foliage colors are at their peak. The overnight package for Saturday and Sunday morning are especially heavily booked. A market survey firm has just completed a study in which they conclude that if the package cost is $200 per couple, then Rail Tours can expect to sell 400 spaces on a typical Saturday. If the price is raised to $225, then unit sales will drop to 390. If the price is raised further to $250, unit sales drop to 380. a) From the data given, write down the demand equation and determine its intercepts. Are there any precautions needed when operating at the extreme ends of the demand curve?b) The survey firm also reports that if per capita income changes, Rail Tours can expect a large change in bookings. In particular, if per capita income falls by 1%, then bookings will tend to fall by about 2%. Are tour packages a normal good?…
The production of store-brand medicine happens in a perfectly competitive market. For store-brand albuterol inhalers, the long-run average costs are constant at $57. Demand by retailers is given by: QD = 630 − 0.38P. In addition to those production costs, producers incur costs related to labeling their products to inform consumers that the product is comparable to name-brand inhalers. The labeling and related research costs is estimated to be equal to 1.8Q. Is there a market failure here, and if so, which one? Why or why not? What would be the quantity of inhalers produced if no labeling were required?

Your pharmaceutical firm is seeking to open up new international markets by partnering with various local distributors. The different distributors within a country are stronger with different market segments (hospitals, retail pharmacies, etc.) but also have substantial overlap. In Egypt, you calculate that the annual value created by one distributor is $330 million per year, but would be $440 million if two distributors carried your product line. Assuming a nonstrategic view of bargaining, you would expect to capture million of this deal. (Hint: The two distributors are independent of each other; therefore, you conduct separate negotiations with each.) Argentina also has two distributors that add value equivalent to the value added by the two distributors in Egypt, but both are run by the government. Assuming a nonstrategic view of bargaining, you would expect to capture million of this deal. In Argentina, if you do not reach an agreement with the government…
A firm produces two goods, A and B. Due to the product A’s fall in popularity near the end of last year, the estimated demand (units purchased) for A is 25% less than that of B.
