Each coffee table produced by Kevin Watson Designer nets the firm a profit of $9. Each book case yields a $12 Profit. Watson's fim is small and it resources limited. During any given production period ( of 1 week ),10 gallons of varnish and 12 lenght of high-quality redwood are available. Each coffee table requires approximately 1 gallon of varnish and 1 lenght of redwood. Each bookcase takes 1 gallon of varnish and 2 lenghts of wood.
if the profit for the coffee table is increased from $ 9 to $ 15, what is the new optimal
solution? (also, you should show the process of how to get new optimal solution)

- You are the manager of a firm that produces products X and Y at zero cost. You know that different types of consumers value your two products differently, but you are unable to identify these consumers individually at the time of the sale. In particular, you know there are three types of consumers (1,000 of each type) with the following valuations for the two products: Consumer Type Product X Product Y 1 $90 $60 2 70 140 3 40 160 a. What are your firm’s profits if you charge $40 for product X and $60 for product Y?$ b. What are your profits if you charge $90 for product X and $160 for product Y?$ c.

You currently offer plans for a cruise departing from the resort and plans for a casino stay. It is expected that in 2021 there will be some return to more normal travel. You will re-launch your advertising for 2021 announcing that customers will be able to do both for one price. Your marginal cost per customer across both tours is $4800. Customer Preferences Cruise Casino Customer 1 $7,000 $3,000 Customer 2 $2,000 $6,000 You know that about 21% of your customers decline cruises because of seasickness. At least 12% decline the casino trip saying they don't believe in gambling. As a rough approximation, you estimate that approximately 33% of your customers will never bundle. Given the preferences distribution, will mixed bundling increase profits? You must show the calculations that support your conclusion.

The community in which your store is located consists of many different types of skiers, ranging from advanced to beginners. From experience, you know that different skiers value skis and bindings differently. However, you cannot profitably price discriminate because you cannot prevent resale.There are about 20 advanced skiers who value skis at $400 and ski bindings at $275; 20 intermediate skiers who value skis at $300 and ski bindings at $400; and 20 beginning skiers who value skis at $200 and ski bindings at $350.What is your maximum revenue if you charge a separate price for skis and bindings?$ What is your maximum revenue if you sell skis and bindings as a bundle?$You are the manager of a local sporting goods store and recently purchased a shipment of 60 sets of skis and ski bindings at a total cost of $25,000 (your wholesale supplier would not let you purchase the skis and bindings separately, nor would it let you purchase fewer than 60 sets).

The output level that minimizes average total cost.? please answer all questionsYou are the manager of a firm that manufactures front and rear windshields for the automobile industry. Due to economies of scale in the industry, entry by new firms is not profitable. Toyota has asked your company and your only rival to simultaneously submit a price quote for supplying 100,000 front and rear windshields for its newest version of the Highlander. If both you and your rival submit a low price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a zero profit. If one firm quotes a low price and the other a high price, the low-price firm supplies 100,000 front and rear windshields and earns a profit of $11 million and the high-price firm supplies no windshields and loses $2 million. If both firms quote a high price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a $6 million profit. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a “special edition” that will be sold only for one year.

Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 40 percent chance of low demand and a 60 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 400,000 −450Q and P = 600,000 −250Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 170,000 + 256,000Q. How many new homes should you build, and what profits can you expect? a. Number of homes you should build: _____ homes b. Profits you can expect: $
- A deli sells sandwiches for $8.50 each, on average. Material costs are $2.25 per sandwich and fixed costs are $95 per hour including the cost of labor. The shop employs three workers, each of whom makes an entire sandwich and requires five minutes to process the entire order for each customer. Assuming labor costs are fixed and demand is 25 sandwiches per hour, how much profit does the shop make per hour, on average? Multiple Choice $212.50 $95.00 $61.25 $45.25Refer to the figure below to answer the questions. 1.1) This corn producer produces 100 bushels of corn and sells each bushel at RM5.

Its demand curve is given by qd = 31 - 0.5P. Rogelio is a representative consumer of this type of cards so we can assume that the rest of the customers, 1,000 in total, have the same demand curve. The supplier company, Hofmann, can produce each card at a constant average and marginal cost of €2. In the market of personalized greeting cards there are many other companies that offer very similar cards. Consider the following 4 scenarios: (i) Hofmann acts as a perfect competitor. ii) Hofmann acts as a monopolist. iii) Hofmann acts as a first-degree discriminator monopolist iv) Hofmann acts as a second-degree discriminator monopolist and offers each of its customers the possibility to buy the first 15 cards at a unit price of € 32, the next 5 (from € 16 to 20) at a unit price of € 22 and the following 10 (from € 21 to 30) at a unit price of €2.
