The per-week (inverse) demand for use of the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden is P = 13 − 0.15Q during peak traffic periods and P = 10 − 0.1Q during off-peak hours, where Q is the number of cars crossing the bridge in thousands and P is the toll in euros. If the marginal cost of using the bridge is MC = 5 + 0.2Q, what is the optimal peak load toll and off-peak load toll for crossing the bridge?

- A ship travels between ports, A and B, which is a total distance of D. The cost per-hour of operating the ship is c(v) = w +v", where w > 0 represents the hourly wages of the ship's employees, v is the ship's velocity, and n 2 2 is a parameter. The objective is to choose v so that the trip is made at minimum cost. (Hint: velocity is equal to distance divided by the time taken on the trip, or what is the same, time taken is equal to distance divided by velocity) 1. Assume that v = 2.
