SITUATION: You are thinking about becoming a Paradise Coffee franchisee. Franchisees are offered a business specializing in producing an exclusive line of exotic coffee drinks (similar to Starbucks). Franchisees have had good success in towns without a Starbucks (Paradise franchises gross $220,000 sales on average per year, and you believe you can gross as much, too). You will have to pay Paradise Coffee, Inc., a franchise fee of $3,000 a year plus 2.5% of gross sales. You will also pay an annual National advertising fee of 3% of gross sales. Paradise requires that you use their logo-imprinted goods (plates, cups, napkins). They are purchased in bulk from Paradise and will cost you $40,000 per year. You also have to use their special Paradise Roast coffee beans, which cost $12.00 per pound. You estimate you will use 400 pounds of beans a year. Other food ingredients (syrups, biscotti, whipped cream, soft drinks, etc) will cost $18,000 a year. You will have to hire three…

The demand curve for CO2 systems can be considered as a kinked demand curve. One analysis company has helped and they find that the kink occurs at around 15 plants sold at a price of DKK 4.4 million. DKK per plant. At a price increase based on the kink, the analysis company estimates the price elasticity to -2. Furthermore, the analysis company has found that at a price of DKK 0, it the requested quantity is 40 plants. Derive and draw the kinked demand function and the associated MR function based on the given data. If necessary, make other necessary assumptions yourself.

. An electricity producer has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $40 per megawatt. The residual demand for its electricity is given by P (q) = a−bq, where P is the price and q is the quantity of power generated by this producer. The producer knows the slope, b, but he vertical intercept of the residual demand curve, a is unknown. Assume A and B are greater than zero. If you get stuck, you may answer any of the following questions for special case where a = 80 And b = 0.5 for partial credit. (a) What is the marginal revenue, M R(q), for this producer? b) What is the optimal q for this producer? (c) What is the electricity producer’s optimal price? (d) What is the electricity producer’s optimal bid in a uniform price Auction? e) Suppose b is equal to zero. Would the producer have an incentive to submit a bid above its marginal cost? Explain.
