You have been appointed the new manager for Ghana Airways Company Limited, an internationalairline company that flies from the Kotoka International Airport in Accra to Heathrow Airport inLondon every day. The airline is described as a monopolist and has the possibility of discriminatingbetween its Business and Economy Travelers. To help you determine the prices your servicesappropriately to maximise profit, you engaged an economist who estimated the demand function forboth Economy and Business Travelers as:Q1 = 24 – 0.2P1 Economy TravelersQ2 = 10 – 0.05P2 Business TravelersWhere Q1 and Q2 are the respective numbers of Economy and Business Travelers and P1 and P2 aretheir respective fares (in GH¢). If the Total Cost (TC) of this airline company for flying these twocategories of travelers is given as TC = 35 + 40Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2.What can you say about the fares, number of travelers and profit of Ghana Airways CompanyLimited, with and without price discrimination?
Management of McPablo’s Food Shops has completed a study of weekly demand for its “old-fashioned” tacos in 53 regional markets. The study revealed that Q = 400 -1,200P + .8A + 55Pop + 800P° where Q is the number of tacos sold per store per week, A is the level of local advertising expenditure (in pesos), Pop denotes the local population (in thousands), and P0 is the average taco price of local competitors. For the typical McPablo’s outlet: P = Php1.50, A = Php1,000, Pop = 40, and P0 = Php1.00. Estimate the weekly sales for the typical McPablo’s outlet. What is the current price elasticity for tacos? What is the advertising elasticity? Should McPablo’s raise its taco prices? Why or why not?
Assume you are the Director of Marketing for Majjus Enterprise, a firm that produces a new product called African Solar. Your company sells to two distinct geographical markets-East Legon and Nima. Majjus Enterprise is described as a monopolist and has the possibility of discriminating between its East Legon and Nima Markets. In order to derive the maximum profit from the production process, you engaged the services of an Econometrician, who estimated the demand functions for both East Legon and Nima markets to be: Q1 = 24 – 0.2P1 East Legon Market Q2 = 10 – 0.05P2 Nima Market Where Q1 and Q2 are the respective quantities of African Solar demanded in the East Legon and Nima markets and P1 and P2 are their respective prices (in GH¢). If the Total Cost (TC) of Majjus Enterprise for producing African Solar for these two markets is given as TC = 35 + 40Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2. What profit will Majjus Enterprise make with and without price discrimination? What…
Pre-mixed concrete is an important input for the construction industry. Concrete cannot be stored or transported over long distances as it begins to set after only a few hours. For this reason, only the three local firms—Aggregate Inc., Big Industries and ConCorp—are in a position to compete in the market. Moreover, the capital and regulatory requirements for constructing a new concrete plant are substantial, creating an effective barrier to entry. Pre-mixed concrete is regarded as a homogeneous good by the construction industry. Inverse demand in the market has been estimated to be, P = 520 − Q , 50 where P represents the price of a cubic metre of concrete in dollars, and Q is the total number of cubic metres of concrete supplied into the market on a given day. At present the three firms appear have identical production costs, with each firm facing fixed costs of $400,000 per day and a marginal cost of $160 per cubic metre. Big Industries and ConCorp estimate that the proposed merger…
