- A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $451,000, and it costs $1000 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2600 for the TV, it will be able to sell 800 TVs. If the company wants to sell 850 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2300. Assume a linear demand. If the company sets the price at $3800, how much profit can it earn? It can expect to earn/lose $enter your response here.

Elasticity of supply tends to be greater when* inputs are specialized. time period allowed for adjustment is fairly long. degree of advertising is great. demand for the product is inelastic The supply curve overtime is more elastic than the supply curve over the short period of time because, given sufficient time* production techniques become more expensive. new firms can enter the industry and old firms can increase their plant size. producers become more competitive. consumers become more demanding.Your niece owns a different type of chicken restaurant. She specializes in chicken and noodles and chicken pot pie. Her pot pie is the better seller. However, when its cold outside, the chicken and noodles is the better seller. She goes through about 100 chickens every two days. It takes about 60 chickens to make 600 pot pies. The other 40 chickens are used to make about 320 chicken and noodle dishes. When its cold outside it takes 70 chickens to meet the demand for chicken and noodles. Construct a production possibilities model that graphically illustrates this problem.
- In her spare time, your colleague is selling hand-carved wooden boxes on Etsy. The boxes are currently priced at $30/box. Your colleague is not happy with their current revenue stream and asks for your advice. You estimate that demand for your colleague's hand-carved wooden boxes is: Q = 800-20P. If your colleague is looking to maximize revenue, how should they price their wooden boxes? Keep prices at $30/box Lower prices to $20/box Raise price to $40/box Lower price to $25/box Raise prices to $35/boxIf a firm finds that it can sell $32,000 worth of a product when its price is $8 per unit and $35,000 worth of it when its price is $10, then Multiple Choice the demand for the product is inelastic in the $10-$8 price range. the demand for the product must have increased. elasticity of demand is 1.67. the demand for the product is elastic in the $10-$8 price range.Panini, a popular sandwich shop, offers 3 types of sandwiches: Grill vegetables, grilled chicken and pastrami.

- Only typed answer Firm X introduces a new good A in the market. The laws of demand and supply hold for this good. The firm produces 500 units of A per month. The good does not have any close substitutes and is priced at $4 per unit. Consumers like this new product and industry analysts expect the price to rise as much as $7 before an equilibrium is reached in this market. At equilibrium, the industry analysts expect quantity demanded and supplied to be 650 units. However, Patrick Clearwater, the operations head at firm X, believes that even at a price of $7 per unit, there will still be a shortage of 100 units. Which of the following, if true, will support Patrick's view? A. There was a price ceiling at $7 which has been removed. B. Good A is an inferior good. C. Price elasticity of supply is actually lower than what is expected by the industry analysts. D. The demand for good A is highly inelastic. E. At a price of $7 per unit, the firm supplies 750 units of…Joe initially charged $180 for a electronic product and averaged 20 clients per week. When he raised his price to $220, the number of sales decreased to 15 per week. What is the price elasticity of demand for his product? Majed initially charged $50/hr. for helping with practice questions and averaged 35 clients per week. When he raised his price to $75, the number of sessions increased to 40 per week. What is the price elasticity of demand for his services?Keep in mind the formula for elasticity of demand used in this course is E =- dp. Hint: Start off by solving for q in terms of p using a natural logarithm. Once you have an expression for q you can differentiate it with respect to p to get dq/dp. Plug your dq/dp into the formula for E, replace all the p's with 600e 0.29 and you've got your elasticity (it should simplify down nicely). You can maximize revenue by finding the quantity that gives you unit elasticity, i.e., E = 1. For the following demand function, find a. E, and b. the values of q (if any) at which total revenue is maximized. p= 600 e -0.2q a. Find the elasticity of demand (E) in terms of q. E(q) = b. Find the values of q (if any) at which total revenue maximized. Select the correct choice below, and if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. O A. Revenue is maximized at q= (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) O B. No values of q maximize revenue.
