Harriet McNeil, proprietor of McNeil's Auto Mall, believes that it is good business for her automobile dealership to have more customers on the lot than can be served, as she believes this creates an impression that demand for the automobiles on her lot is high. However, she also understands that if there are far more customers on the lot than can be served by her salespeople, her dealership may lose sales to customers who become frustrated and leave without making a purchase.
Ms. McNeil is primarily concerned about the staffing of salespeople on her lot on Saturday mornings (8:00 a.m. to noon), which are the busiest time of the week for McNeil's Auto Mall. On Saturday mornings, an average of 6.8 customers arrive per hour. The customers arrive randomly at a constant rate throughout the morning, and a salesperson spends an average of one hour with a customer. Ms. McNeil's experience has led her to conclude that if there are two more customers on her lot than can be served at any time…

- The coffee and tea demand functions depend on both prices. Suppose the demand curves for coffee and tea are Qc = 120 − 2pc + pt and Qt = 90 − 2pt + pc, where Qc is the quantity of coffee, Qt is the quantity of tea, pc is the price of coffee, and pt is the price of tea. These crops are grown in separate parts of the world, so their supply curves are not interrelated. We assume that the short-run, inelastic supply curves for coffee and tea are Qc = 45 and Qt = 30. Solve for the equilibrium prices and quantities. Now suppose that a freeze shifts the short-run supply curve of coffee to Qc = 30. How does the freeze affect the prices and quantitiesarrow_forwardTake this hypothetical situation: Suppose that the supply side of the market for for electric energy is comprised of two sellers: Seller 1 and Seller 2. Let P be the price of one unit of electric energy, and Q be the quantity of electric energy. Seller 1 owns a hydropower factory with a constant marginal cost of $3 and can produce a maximum of 10 units of electric energy. In addition, the hydropower plant has a requirement of a minimum of 3 units of electric energy. Seller 2 owns a solar factory to produce electric energy. This factory has a constant marginal cost of $5 and can produce a maximum of 5 units of electric energy. With this given information, please sketch the market supply by aggregating the two individual supplies. Please label the graph clearly for slopes, kinks, intercepts, etc.arrow_forwardTake this hypothetical situation: Suppose that the supply side of the market for for electric energy is comprised of two sellers: Seller 1 and Seller 2.
