- In the Current Events article, it mentioned how DoorDash is trying to increase its amount of subscription users (DashPass). The price for DashPass is $10 per month. Assume the demand for regular DoorDash deliveries (non-subscription) is: P = 20 - 0.04Q where P is the delivery fee on the order. Assume the goal of the company is to maximize combined revenue from both regular deliveries (delivery fees) and the subscription fees (DashPass). A different manager suggest pricing the deliveries at $14 per delivery. Which of the following actions would you select as a manager? Group of answer choices Advise that it should be a $10 fee per delivery Advise that the$14 delivery fee is too low Advise that it should be a $20 fee per delivery Agree that $14 per delivery is optimal in this situationarrow_forwardCikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000 per month from product X and RM7000 per month from product Y.

- Q2. Your brother is considering two cell phone providers i.e. UFONE and MOBILINK. UFONE charges Rs.520 (super card) per month for the service regardless of the number of phone calls made. MOBILINK does not have a fixed service fee but instead charges Rs. 1 per minute for calls. Your brother's monthly demand for minutes of calling is given by the equation Q = 150 - 50P, where P is the price of a minute a. With each service provider, what is the cost to your brother of an extra minute on the phone? b. In light of your answer to (a) part, how many minutes would your brother talk on the phone with each service provider? c.
