The table below shows two demand schedules for a given style of men’s shoes—that is, how many pairs per month will be demanded at various prices at a men’s clothing store in Winnipeg called Stromnord. Price D1 Quantity Demanded D2 Quantity Demanded $85 53 13 80 60 15 75 68 18 70 77 22 65 87 27 Suppose that Stromnord has exactly 55 pairs of this style of shoe in inventory at the start of the month of July and will not receive any more pairs of this style until at least August 1. a. If demand is D1, what is the lowest price that Stromnord can charge so that it will not run out of this model of shoe in the month of July? What if demand is D2? If demand is D1, the lowest price Stromnord can charge is $ . If demand is D2, the lowest price Stromnord can charge is $ . b. If the price of shoes is set at $85 for both July and August and demand will be D2 in July and D1 in August, how many pairs of shoes should Stromnord order for August if it wants to end the month of August with exactly zero pairs of shoes in its inventory? (note that inventory cannot be sent back, therefore do not enter negative numbers below) Stromnord should order pair(s) of shoe(s) for August. What if the price is set at $65 for both months and demand is D1 in July and D2 in August? Stromnord should order pair(s) of shoe(s) for August.
