Your manager is only concerned with selling her product for the highest price possible under profit- maximizing conditions. In which of the two markets should she operate? • Market 1: - Demand:Q=100-2P - MarginalCost:MC=15 • Market 2: - Own-PriceElasticity:εQ,P=-2.5Note:Thisimpliestheown-priceelasticityis constant at all points. - MarginalCost:MC=15 a. She should operate in Market 1, as it has the highest profit-maximizing price. b. She should operate in Market 2, as it has the highest profit-maximizing price. c. She is indifferent, as each market has an equal profit-maximizing price.

A chain of electronic stores sells hand-held color televisions. The weekly demand and supply models are given below. N is the number of televisions sold or supplied per week in the respective model and p is the price of the television. a. How many hand-held televisions can be sold and supplied at $144 per television? b. Find the price at which supply and demand are equal. At this price, how many televisions can be supplied and sold each week? N = −7p+1134 Demand model. N = 3.5p Supply model.
Cikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000 per month from product X and RM7000 per month from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 when original quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units, respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand between product X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by 1%. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X?

The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 when original quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units, respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand between product X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by 1%. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X? How much is Cikli’s new total revenue for both of the products? Plot a graph for product X and another for product Y, showing the before and after change in price. Give an appropriate example for each product.
Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by: QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. (b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.] [5]

If the market is made up of 100 individuals with demand curves identical to Mr. Smith’s, what will be the point and arc elasticity for the conditions specified in parts a and b?
Question a) Demand for Magnum Ice Cream is given by an equation as Q = 70 – 10P + 4 Px + 50 I Where, Q = Quantity of Magnum demanded, P = Price of Magnum Ice Cream, Px = Price of Walls Ice Cream, I = Per Capita Income Assume P = Rs 100, Px = Rs 120 and I = Rs 25 (Rs in thousands). Calculate Price Elasticity of Demand Cross Price Elasticity of Demand Income Elasticity of Demand and How the elasticity does estimates help in managerial decision making? b) A city government is considering renting space in an all‑day parking garage for its 100 employees. The government estimates these employees' demand function for parking spaces is 150 ‑ 50P (P ≥ $1), where P is the per-day price of parking, and the city will pass on the cost. If the city needs not charge each of its employees the same price for a parking space, what is the maximum amount the city could pay for the 100 spaces, and what would be the average cost per space? Assume the employees’ union…
Consider the demand function d(p)=300e^−0.01p^2 items purchased when charging p dollars per item. Currently the price is 9 dollars per item. Use marginal analysis to estimate the decrease in demand when the price increases by 0.3 dollars per item. Demand would decrease by approximately _____ items. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A ski resort in the White Mountains has conducted market and cost studies, and has determined that the demand and supply for ski-lift tickets at their resort are represented by: Qd=1750 - 5P - 8PR + 2PB; Qs=50 + 20P - 3PE. In these equations, P represents the price of a full-day lift ticket, in dollars per ticket; PR is the price of a ski-rental package; PB is the price of a pint of beer at the local pub in the nearby town; and PE is the price per megawatt hour for the electricity used to run the chair lifts on the ski slopes. Based on the equations above, determine whether the beer in the local pub is a substitute or complement to skiing. Briefly explain your answer. Suppose the price of a ski-rental package is $20, the price of a pint of beer is $5, and the price of electricity is $150 per megawatt hour. Calculate equilibrium price and quantity of ski-lift tickets. Now consider the more general relationship between the price of lift tickets and the price of ski-rental packages.…
