- Plum charges £500 for its smartphone, producing a revenue of £8 million per month. It fears that a competitor, MV, will shortly make a price reduction of 10% for its product. The marketing manager is considering whether to match this price reduction in order to try and maintain sales. She has estimated that Plum’s PED is –1.5 and the CED with the competitor’s product is 0.8. The marginal cost is estimated to be 42% of the price. a) Calculate the effect on Plum’s sales volume and revenue assuming it maintains its price at the existing level. b) Calculate how much of a price cut Plum would need to make to maintain its sales volume at the existing level. c) Evaluate whether the price cut is a good strategyAmir operates a large lobster boat. The operating cost for the boat is $2,250 each day. At the end of each day, he sells allhis freshly caught lobster to either the local restaurant or the local grocery store with the following conditions:.The price per pound that the restaurant is willing to pay follows a triangular distribution with minimum value $1.50,maximum value $5.50, and likeliest value $3.50.• The price per pound that the grocery store is willing to pay is decreasing with more lobsters: $3.85 - $0.0005 *y,where y is the total lobster amount sold in pounds.• The amount of lobster that Amir catches in a single day follows a normal distribution with mean 1,500 pounds andstandard deviation sqrt(12,500) pounds.Amir decides to sell a fixed percentage of lobster to the local restaurant and the rest to local grocery stores. Using eithermath or simulation, can you help Amir determine what percentage he should choose in order to maximize his expected profitin the long run?find the optimal demands U= 15x^0.4 y^0.6 Px =1000 py=6400 m=80000
- A pharmaceutical company Eureka Bio has discovered a corona vaccine that can be produced at constant marginal cost of R10. The company has entered into offtake dosage agreements with country A and B. Country A has dosage demand of QA=200-PA, and country B has dosage demand QB=160-PB a. If Eureka Bio is the only pharmaceutical company that was successful in developing vaccines, determine the dosage that will be sold to both countries. What will be eureka's profitA competitive industry has production processes that generate pollution. okay with studies carried out on the affected population, the marginal costs associated with contamination are constant and 500 u.m. for each unit of the good produced. These costs are associated with lost working days, illness treatment costs and the nuisance generated in the population. Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1500 (um/unit). Market studies carried out by the firms estimate that if the price rises at 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would drop to 200 units and the marginal cost of production of each firm at this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit). assume linearity in market demand and in the marginal costs of production of the firms.

- Your current prices are $311 in the southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21. Given the predicted changes in the quantity demanded by region per problem 1 and using the stay even analysis %ΔQd = %ΔP/[%ΔP + ((P-MC)/P)], can you raise the price by 7% in any of the regional markets? State you conclusion and then show all the steps supporting your conclusion. (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price.)1-Redo Problem 12.21 by maximizing utility u = x05y0.3 subject to the budget constraint 10x +3y = 140. 2-Minimize a firm's total costs c = 45x + 90xy + 90y² when the firm has to meet a production quota g equal to 2r + 3y = 60 by (a) finding the critical values and (b) using the bordered Hessian to test the sccond-order conditions.C2) Company A is the only supplier of glass in Big Apple City used for tall buildings’ exteriors. Its marginal cost of production is cA=1, and it has no other production costs. The demand for such glass in Big Apple city is QD=2-P. Company B in Jersey City produces the same glass and is considering whether to expand to Big Apple city. If it enters, it needs to get a permit to allow it to be a supplier in the Big-Apple city at a cost of L=0.5, which does not vary with quantity of output, and its marginal cost of production is cB=0.5. If it expands to the Big-Apple city, companies A and B both supply to the market, and the market price P satisfies QA+QB=2-P, where QA is company A’s production level and QB is company B’s. a) If company B expands to the Big-Apple city, what is the resulting price in a Nash equilibrium? b) Company B hires a consulting company to advise whether it should expand to the Big-Apple city. If you’re running the consulting company, what is your advice? Explain…
