Yummy Yummy Popcorn, Inc. sells bags of flavored popcorn in a popular mall. As shop owner and operator, you have observed that weekly popcorn sales are well-described by the demand equation: Q = 1,200 - 800P + 2.0A, where A denotes advertising weekly spending (in dollars). You are currently charging $1.50 per bag of popcorn (for which the marginal cost is $.75) and spending $500 per week on advertising. b) Check whether your current $1.50 price is profit maximizing. If not, determine the store’s optimal quantity and price. c) Should the store consider increasing its advertising spending? Why or why not. Please do fast ASAP fast
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…
A company manufactures Products A, B, and C. Each product is processed in three departments: I, II, and III. The total available labor-hours per week for Departments I, II, and III are 1020, 1080, and 900, respectively. The time requirements (in hours per unit) and the profit per unit for each product are as follows. Product A Product B Product C Dept. I 2 1 2 Dept. II 3 1 2 Dept. II 2 2 1 Profit $18 $12 $15 If management decides that the number of units of Product B manufactured must equal or exceed the number of units of products A and C manufactured, how many units of each product should the company produce to maximize its profit?
Over the course of a customer’s lifetime of reading a weekly magazine priced at $4 per issue, what is the value of the magazine? Assume a customer acquisition cost of $12, a retention cost of $0, printing and distribution costs of $1, an annual retention rate of 77% and an annual discount rate of 2.6%. Assume that price and non-marketing variable costs remain constant over the customer’s lifetime of reading the magazine. Options: A) 10.05 B) 30.50 C) 73.49 D) 14.20 E) 0.02 F) 261.25
(please answer all questions) Great Gorge Amusement Park is a 40-acre fun park full of rides, shows, and shops. Great George' marketing department segments its customer base into two parts: local patrons and tourists. Great Gorge assumes local patrons are more price sensitive than out-of-town tourists. Yearly demand and marginal revenue relations for overnight lodging services, Q, are as follows: Locals PL = $40 - $0.0008QL MRL = D TRL/DQL = $40 - $0.0016QL Tourists PT = $50 - $0.0005QT MRT = DTRT/DQT = $50 - $0.001QT Average variable costs for labor and materials are constant at $40 per unit. A. Assuming the company can discriminate in pricing between locals and tourist customers through coupons distributed to locals via local shops, calculate the profit-maximizing price, output, and total profit…
2 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. Round to one decimal place, i.e. 10.135 is 10.1 (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price.).
Semi-Salt Industries began its operation in 1975 and remains the only firm in the world that produces and sells commercial-grade polyglutamate. While virtually anyone with a degree in college chemistry could replicate the firm’s formula, due to the relatively high cost, Semi-Salt has decided not to apply for a patent. Despite the absence of patent protection, Semi-Salt has averaged accounting profits of 5.5 percent on investment since it began producing polyglutamate—a rate comparable to the average rate of interest that large banks paid on deposits over this period. Do you think Semi-Salt is earning monopoly profits? Why?
Global Giant is a multinational corporation that transfers intermediate products between divisions. It has a manufacturing division (the seller) in a low-tax rate country and a marketing division (the buyer) in a high-tax rate country. If Global Giant wants to minimize its worldwide tax liability to the extent possible within the laws, we would expect Global Giant to: Question 7 options: a) establish the highest transfer price possible when the manufacturing unit sells to the marketing unit b) establish the lowest transfer price possible when the manufacturing unit sells to the marketing unit c) stop producing in the low-tax rate country d) stop selling (marketing) products in the high-tax rate country
The timber rights to a tract of forest can be purchased for $250,000. The harvesting agreement would allow 25% of the timber to be cut in each of the first, second, fourth, and fifth years. The purchaser of the timber rights would be required to replant, at its expense, the logged areas in Years 3 and 6. Arrowsmith Lumber calculates that its profit in each of the four cutting years would be $90,000 and that the cost of replanting the harvested areas in each of Years 3 and 6 would be $30,000.a) Should Arrowsmith Lumber buy the timber rights if its cost of capital is 5.5%?b) By what amount would the economic value of Arrowsmith Lumber be increased or decreased if it proceeded with purchasing the timber rights for $250,000?

The entry of a private entity into the water utility business has brought changes in operational processes. One particular example is that of Metro Dumaguete Water (MDW). The utility company is now planning to charge consumers based on peak and off-peak demand rates. On weekdays, peak times are during the early morning (4 to 7 am) and evenings (5 to 10 pm), while on weekends at 4 in the morning to 12 noon. MDW wanted to know the price that they should during those times (peak and off-peak). Based on early calculations, the monthly demand for water during each period is related to price as follows: Dp = 4.178 – 0.134Pp + 0.082Po Do = 2.673 – 0.159Po + 0.091Pp where, Dp and Pp are demand and price during peak times, while Do and Po are demand and price during off-peak times. In addition, it will costs MDW P82.50 per month to maintain one cubic meter of capacity considering the new equipment and gadgets that would be set up with regards to the…
