CBS is selling advertising for its broadcast of the AFC championship game. The station's demand for minutes of commercial advertising time is the demand it faces from the companies to which it sells advertising time: PADS = 100,000 - 50Q. CBS has MC = $2000. Buyers pay CBS a price PCBS for each minute of advertising and add $1,000 for each ad to cover the tax they pay, so their MCADS PCBS + 1000. No one has any fixed costs. The profit for CBS is (include dollar sign and any commas, no decimals)

Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.

A university football team faces the following demand schedule shown for tickets for each home game it plays. The team plays in a stadium that holds 60,000 fans. It estimates that its marginal cost of attendance, and thus for tickets sold, is zero. The table below reflects this data: Price per Ticket ($) Tickets per Game 100 80 60 40 20 0 Total revenue = $ 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 Using this information, calculate how much total revenue the team will earn.

Macmillan Learning Cola DUDDies, L.e., cola encased in cuivie membranes, emmnaung the need for plastic Dotties. The patem once awards patents to ideas it considers useful, novel, and non-obvious-products for which demand would be strong and inelastic. This leads to a large consumer surplus, even when price is high. The office also seeks products that would likely not reach the market in the absence of a guaranteed privileged market position for a period of time-products with a long time-to-market and high R&D costs. The patent office uses the level of fixed costs to apply the latter criterion. The patent office has estimated the demand and total cost curves for these products as follows: • gene predictor: QD = 241 -0.5P; TC = 1002 +20 + 1,000 • ⚫cola bubbles: QD = 184 P; TC = 902 +40 + 450 meat printer: QD = 178-2P; TC = 802 + 40+ 120 a.

Exercise A.8. Is it possible that monopoly regulation through the establishment of a maximum price results in an increase in social welfare and generates the appearance of unsatisfied demand (excess demand)? Illustrate your answer with graphs and discuss them.
What problems does underforecasting demand create?
Plotted through point E are two demand curves; one is relatively elastic, and the other is relatively inelastic. Each demand curve also has its own marginal revenue (MR) curve. Merge these curves into a kinked demand curve by moving the curves' endpoints to remove the unwanted sections of the curves. Then, adjust the marginal revenue curves to properly accompany the new kinked demand curve.
