- Jane is a busy woman. She left her former job to start her own consulting company. She assesses that demand for her services would increase if she lowered her hourly price P: demand for her services is about Q = 200 - P (where Q is the number of hours her services are demanded). She has to pay $10 in liability insurance for every hour she works for herself. She also has a part-time job at her former employer’s for $80 an hour, for as much time as she can spare. She is only physically able to work for 70 hours a week (so she could never get an MBA). How many hours a week does she work for herself?

The team estimates that its profit in the three cities, excluding the cost of building a stadium, will be: city A $195 million city B = $200 million city C $210 million The cost of the stadium in any city will be $100 million, but the team expects the winning city to subsidize at least some of this cost. Finally, suppose that each city expects the team to generate the following additional (spillover) economic activity: city A = $75 million city B $60 million city C= $45 million 21. It is efficient for the team to locate in (a) City A. (b) City B. (c) City C. (d) The net return is the same for all three. 22.

- According to the readings, which of the following would likely NOT occur if college athletes could be paid in competitive markets? a. College coaches would earn lower salaries b. Subsidies from the academic side could increase c. Ticket prices would rise to cover the players’ salaries (assuming fan demand is unchanged) d. Fewer universities would have football programsarrow_forwardA baseball teams attendance depends on the number of games it wins per season and on the price of its tickets. The demand function it faces is Q = N(20 – p), where Q is the number of tickets (in hundred thousands) sold per year, p is the price per ticket, and N is the fraction of its games that the team wins. The team can increase the number of games it wins by hiring better players. If the team spends C million dollars on players, it will win 0.7 – of its games. Over the relevant range, the marginal cost of selling an extra ticket is zero. (a) Write an expression for the firms profits as a function of ticket price and expenditure on players. (b) Find the ticket price that maximizes revenue. (c) Find the profit-maximizing expenditure on players and the profitmaximizing fraction of games to win.arrow_forwardSuppose Bull Gator Ben has paid his $14,300 donation and purchased eight season tickets at $32 per game.

- The NHL faces a market demand curve given by P = 25000 – 0.01Q and a new rival league, the World Hockey League (WHL), is threatening to enter the market. Assume that both leagues face only fixed costs and they each have Cournot conjectures. What will be the profit-maximizing level of output and average ticket price for the NHL before the WHL enters the market? Show your work. After the WHL enters the market, work through the first four rounds of strategic pricing and output moves. Show your work. What will be the profit-maximizing output for each league and the average ticket price when all adjustments have been made?

Suppose male and female tutors have equal experience and skill. Currently, some tutoring centers are biased and will only hire male tutors, whereas unbiased tutoring centers desire to hire the cheapest tutors and do not care about their genders. As a result, the equilibrium wage for male tutors is higher than that of female tutors. Refer to Scenario 19-6. Long-run competition in the after-school tutoring market is consistent with which of the following statements, assuming consumers do not discriminate between male and female tutors? Oa. All firms that hire only male tutors will shut down because they are not able to compete. O b. Nothing will change; all firms will continue to operate as they do now. Oc. Tutoring centers only hiring male tutors have lower cost, leading to an increase in the demand for male tutors. Od. All firms that hire only female tutors will shut down because they…arrow_forward
