- The MacDonald sells two popular packages of breakfast all day long: Mac A and Mac B. The sales of these products are not independent of each other (in economics, we call these substitutable products, because if the price of one increases, sales of the other will increase). The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (Q) and prices (P ) of each model: QA = 20 - 0.62PA + 0.3PBQB = 29 + 0.1PA - 0.6PBi . Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. b. Develop a two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. c. Use "Solver" to find the optimal prices.When trying to assess differences in her customers, Claire—the owner of Claire’s Rose Boutique—noticed a difference between the typical demand of her female versus her male customers. In particular, she found her female customers to be more price sensitive in general. After conducting some sales analysis, she determined that her female customers have the following demand curve for roses: QF = 24 − 2P. Here, QF is the quantity of roses demanded by a female customer and P is the price charged per rose. She determined that her male customers have the following demand curve for roses: QM = 27 − P. Here, QM is the quantity of roses demanded by a male customer. If two unaffiliated customers walk into her boutique, one male and one female, determine the demand curve for these two customers combined (i.e., what is their aggregate demand?).Suppose that News Corp., which controls the United States’ largest satellite-to-TV broadcaster, is contemplating launching a Spaceway satellite that could provide highspeed Internet service. Prior to launching the Spaceway satellite, suppose that News Corp. used least squares to estimate the regression line of demand for satellite Internet services. The best-fitting results indicate that demand is Qsatd = 152.5 − .8Psat + 1.2PDSL + .5Pcable (in thousands), where Psat is the price of satellite Internet service, PDSLis the price of DSL Internet service, and Pcable is the price of high-speed cable Internet service. Suppose that after the FCC’s ruling the price of DSL, PDSL, is $25 per month and the monthly price of high-speed cable Internet, Pcable, is $50. Furthermore, News Corp. has identified that its monthly revenues need to be at least $15 million to cover its monthly costs. If News Corp. set its monthly subscription price for satellite Internet service at $55, would its revenue be…
- Please Explain in details If chocolate bars have a price elasticity of 0.6, then we can infer the chocolate bar Multiple Choice has many substitutes and sellers could raise price to increase revenue from sales. is a luxury good and sellers could raise price to increase revenue. is a necessity and sellers could raise price to increase revenue. has few substitutes and sellers could lower price to increase revenue from salesRecently, Verizon Wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. The manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2012 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon’s 2012 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2011—the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues. Did the manager make an error? ExplainYou own the only pharmacy in the small town of Jackson City, which has 40,000 residents. You would like to get a sense of what the local demand is for seasonal allergy medicine so you can determine how many packages to keep in stock and what price to charge.

Their responses are shown in the accompanying table. Estimate and graph the demand for the entire town of Jackson City.

The theater then gathered data over the following month to determine whether the price increase was profitable. Assume total costs to the theater are the same, whether the price of a ticket is $9 or $10. In order for the ticket price to have been profitable over the month, the elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be ______ (elastic or inelastic) . Demand curves become _____ (more or less) elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be _____ (more or less) profitable in the long run.Recently, Pacific Cellular ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services.

- An analyst for FoodMax estimates that the demand for its Brand X potato chips is given by ln QdX = 12.14 – 2.8 ln PX + 3.4PY + 0.7 ln AX, where Qx and PX are the respective quantity and price of a four-ounce bag of Brand X potato chips, PY is the price of a six-ounce bag sold by its only competitor, and AX is FoodMax’s level of advertising on Brand X potato chips. Last year, FoodMax sold 7 million bags of Brand X chips and spent $0.42 million on advertising. Its plant lease is $2.1 million (this annual contract includes utilities) and its depreciation charge for capital equipment was $2.8 million; payments to employees (all of whom earn annual salaries) were $0.8 million. The only other costs associated with manufacturing and distributing Brand X chips are the costs of raw potatoes, peanut oil, and bags; last year FoodMax spent $2.8 million on these items, which were purchased in competitive input markets. Based on this information, what is the profit-maximizing price for a bag of…For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _______(rival/nonrival) and ______(nonexcludable/excludable). Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $34,980. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 1,460 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $32. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $_______. Because the estimated benefit is _______(less/greater) than the cost, the college administrators _______(should not/should) undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of the beautification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to capture the true willingness to pay of each student accurately. Which…Suppose that News Corp., which controls the United States’ largest satellite-to-TV broadcaster, is contemplating launching a Spaceway satellite that could provide highspeed Internet service.
