Two friends have an idea for a new food truck called Funk Seoul Brother, that sells Korean street food and sushi burritos. It would be the only supplier of this food in Portland. Market research suggests that the demand curve for the food will be P=40- (Q/80). It will cost $2000 to set up the food truck, which is necessary before any food can be made. In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $6 per entrée for every entrée made. a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity? What profit will this food truck generate? b. Ifthis market were instead perfectly competitive, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? c. How much deadweight loss occurs under the monopolist?

There are two types of car, distinguished by how fuel eficient they are. Type O is the less fuel efficient type, and type 1 is the more fuel efficient. The inverse demand curves for the two types of car are: Po = 250 – Qo – Qı/2, P = 120 – Q1 – Qo/2. (1) Cost functions are Co(Qo) = 50Q0, C:(Q1) = 20Q1 (2)
Thranduil company's market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costsand 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold. Which revenue equation (R(p)) is given correctly? O R(p) = (8000 + 5000)p – 100p? O R(p) (8000 100p) * p O R(p) (50 - p) * 8000 20p OR(p) 100p? – 20p – 200.000 O R(p) 8000p * 50 - 100 20 p likle: >809A)
A particular product has a unit price that starts at $78 with a $0.1 discount for each unit purchased. If the fixed cost is $800/month and the variable cost per unit is $30/unit, determine the demand quantity that maximizes the savings of making and the breakeven quantities.

A large wood products company is negotiating a contract to sell plywood overseas. The ﬁxed cost that can be allocated to the production of plywood is $800,000 per month. The variable cost per thousand board feet is $155.50. The price charged will be determined by p=$600−(0.05)D per 1,000 board feet. a. For this situation, determine the optimal monthly sales volume for this product and calculate the proﬁt (or loss) at the optimal volume. b. What is the domain of proﬁtable demand during a month?
A strawberry growing company is deciding its production and sale plan for the national and international markets.The sale price for each ton of strawberry depends on the quantity offered in the market. If x1 tons is offered for the domestic market, the sale price will be (30 - x1) CU / ton, while if x2 tons is offered for the international market, the sale price will be (40 - x2) CU / ton.The cost for each ton of strawberry for the domestic market is 10 MUs, while for the international market it is 15 MUs.The company has the capacity to produce up to 10 tons of strawberries for sale and, according to SAG restrictions, it must dedicate at least 10% of its production to the international market.For technical production reasons, the company must additionally satisfy the following restriction: x12 + x22 ≤64.a) Raise the NLP model that allows maximizing the net profit for the companyb) State the KKT conditions for the problem and indicate whether they are necessary and / or sufficient.c)…

Oscar has owned a Ford automobile dealership for over 25 years. Since he has been heavily involved in the sales of cars, Oscar believes that there are 3 different types of customers with the following willingness to pays: Sunroof Navigation System Customer A $3,000 $1,200 Customer B $1,800 $600 Customer C $150 $1,800 Although not realistic, assume that incremental costs are $0. As the owner of the dealerships, Oscar has the final say on pricing for each customer. Suppose that Oscar knows the willingness to pay of Customer A, B and C as soon as he meets them. What price should Oscar charge to each customer to maximize profits? What is the total amount of profits for the 3 customers and what is the total amount of consumer surplus for the 3 customers? Show your calculations.
