Suppose price declined from $131 to $100. This firm’s: a. marginal-cost curve would shift downward. b. economic profit would fall to zero. c. profit-maximizing output would decline. d. total cost would fall by more than its total revenue.
Discuss the importance of price elasticity of demand, income elasticity of demand and cross price elasticity of demand to a sales manager selling soft drinks like Coca Cola
If a firm faces the Marginal Cost schedule MC = 180 + 0.3Q2 and the MR schedule is MR = 540 = 0.6Q2 and that Total Fixed costs are $65. What is the maximum profit it can make? Assume that the second-order condition for maximum is met
Perfect Competition
MC - Marginal Cost
MR - Marginal Revenue
ATC - Average Total Cost
AVC - Average Variable Cost
Refer to the figure above. If this firm decides to operate and is producing the profit-maximizing quantity, then the firm's profit will be:
$40
$0
- $40
$240

- Royersford Knitting Mills, Ltd. sells a line of women’s knit underwear. The firm now sells about 20,000 pairs a year at an average price of $10 each. Fixed costs $60,000, and total variable costs equal $120,000. The production department has estimated that a 10 percent increase in output would not affect fixed costs but would reduce average variable cost by 40 cents. The marketing department advocates a price reduction of 5 percent to increase sales, total revenues, and profits. The arc elasticity of demand is estimated at -2. Evaluate the impact of the proposal to cut prices on (1) total revenue, (2) total cost, and (3) total profits. If average variable costs are assumed to remain constant over a 10 percent increase in output, evaluate the effects of the proposed price cut on total profits.arrow_forwardPerfect Competition MC - Marginal Cost MR - Marginal Revenue ATC - Average Total Cost Refer to the figure above.

- Profit Maximization with no price discrimination You are running a (small) chain of gourmet burger joints with two locations (San Antonio and Laredo) You have been charging $9 for your burger meal (fries, burger and soft drink). Across both locations, you sell 1400 meals per week at this price When you raised the price to $10 for the burger meal, your sales across the two locations fell to 1200 meals per week. For your costs, you have fixed costs of $3000 per week across the two locations. In addition, it costs you three dollars per burger in variable costs (ingredients, labor etc.) What is your combined cost function across the two locations Using the two prices above, estimate your combined demand function across the two locations Using the combined demand function from the previous question, calculate the profit maximizing price and quantity What are your (combined) weekly profits across the two locations?arrow_forwardPerfect Competition MC - Marginal Cost MR - Marginal Revenue ATC - Average Total Cost Refer to the figure above.
