Shell has over 13,000 gas stations in the United States. In addition to gasoline, the gas stations also sell convenience items, such as snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, and hot food. Suppose you work for a gas station and your boss asks you to develop a pricing strategy for bottled local wine. The demand function is ? = 100 – 4?, where ? is the monthly quantity demanded of the bottled wine and ? is the price of the bottled wine. The marginal cost per bottle of wine is $5. Complete the following tasks: 1) (Calculating) In the worksheet “Q2 Calculations” of the provided Excel file, enter formulas in columns B-D to calculate Q (quantity demanded), MC (marginal cost), and MR (marginal revenue). Please round your results to one decimal place. Note that the inverse demand function is ? = 25 − 0.25? and that the MR function can be derived from the inverse demand function using the formula introduced in Module 5. You may find it helpful to review the Excel file for Chapter 11.
ABC Co, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of Arizona Diamondbacks’ baseball caps. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q = 2,000 - 100P where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many caps could ABC sell at $6 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 1,800 caps? Suppose ABC were to use the caps as a promotion. How many caps could ABC give away free? At what price would no caps be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $6.
Suppose that the market for air travel between Chicago and Dallas isserved by just airlines, United and American. An economist has studied thismarket and has estimated that the demand curves for round-trip tickets foreach airline are as follows:QdU = 10,000 - 100PU + 99PA (United’s demand)QdA = 10,000 - 100PA + 99PU (American’s demand) where PU is the pricecharged by United, and PA is the price charged by American.a. Suppose that both American and United charge a price of $300 each for around-trip ticket between Chicago and Dallas. What is the price elasticityof demand for United flights between Chicago and Dallas?b. What is the market-level price elasticity of demand for air travel betweenChicago and Dallas when both airlines charge a price of $300? (Hint:Because United and American are the only two airlines serving theChicago–Dallas market, what is the equation for the total demand for airtravel between Chicago and Dallas, assuming that the airlines charge thesame price?)
Suppose that at a price of $1 per subscription, 100,000 subscriptions are demanded for The Post-Standard (the major daily newspaper servicing the greater Syracuse, New York). But, if the price is raised to $1.1, demand is 70,000 subscriptions. As the head of the analytic team, will you suggest to the editor of Post- Standard that an increase in subscription price will not significantly influence consumer demand? E = |-3|>10Elastic demand (an increase in subscription price will significantly influence consumer demand)
1.5 Your firm, Content Friend, is similar to Happy Labourer, a Ghanaian firm that designs and manufactures artifacts and souvenirs. Your research analyst has estimated the demand function for your kente souvenirs is Qd = 33 - 4P If you set the price of a plush kente souvenir at $5, how many will consumers buy? If you increase the price of a plush kente souvenir by $1, how will this change the quantity that your customers buy?

Consider the demand for a luxury good such as a yacht. You can plot three different straight lines through the three points X, Y, and Z on this graph. Place the blue line (circle symbol) so that it goes through two of the points and shows the most likely demand curve for this type of good.

Consider the downward-sloping linear demand curve in the figure at the right. Use the line drawing tool to draw and label another straight-line downward-sloping demand curve, D₁, that intersects point A and is relatively more inelastic than the original demand curve. Be sure to draw your new demand curve intersecting point A, but do not draw a vertical or horizontal line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- (0,33.96) 10 A 20 Quantity 30 Demand 40 50
2) Suppose there are 30 companies in a commercial building. Initially there is no fire sprinklery Sysstem in the public area of the building. The companies have identical individual demand curve for the fire sprinklers which is given by the equation: P = 10 - 0.5 Q, where P is the price of fire sprinkler and Q is the quantity of fire sprinkler: (a) Explain why the fire sprinkler system can be considered as a public good. (Hint: try to explain beyond repeating the definitions.) (b) Suppose each fire sprinkler costs $45. What is the optimal quantity of fire sprinklers to be Installed? (Hint: calculate and explain the social marginal benefit function of the fire sprinklers.) (c) Explain why it is difficult for this commercial building to install the optimal quantity of fire sprinklers if there is no central party to coordinate the installation.
