Pricing Disney+
Disney decided it wanted to provide streaming services directly to customers, rather than
renting its library of films and television shows to other streaming services like Netflix. But
how successful would a streaming service be? In other words, what did the demand for a
"Disney+" streaming service look like? Disney knew that the number of subscribers would
depend not just on the attractiveness of the Disney archives, but also on the subscription
price. After doing some market research, Disney decided to launch Disney+ at a price of
$6.99 a month (or $69.99 per year). When Disney+ was launched on November 12, 2019,
10 million people signed up on the first day-a resounding success!
Source: News reports, October-December 2019.
Suppose Disney+ changes its monthly subscription price from $7 to $9 per month. Graphically show the impact of this price change in
the following markets:
a. Popcorn, pizza, and other movie snacks
Crowdsourcing affects new product development by:
Group of answer choices:
A) providing a controlled, exciting environment for the development of new product ideas.
B) being a secretive process that helps to firm collect new ideas that other firms haven't seen.
C) providing the company with ideas from a great many sources, including consumers.
D) allowing inventors of novel technical products a way to promote their ideas.
Suppose you’re relatively new in business and want to launch your product in the market.You have a great deal of flexibility in how you set your prices, you may want to considerpricing for optimum market penetration. This means that you initially sell your product ata low introductory price P0 (say) to attract new customers, then raise prices once you’vesecured your share in the market. Determining the most appropriate pricing model for yourbusiness is tricky and takes considerable research.If it is known that change in price P depends upon the demand D and Supply S of yourproduct, where both D and S are linearly related to price P.(a) Write the differential equation the describes the change in price.(b) Describe the pattern of change of price for different phases.(c) For what values of parameter, you have equilibrium price (Hint: Recall equilibriumsolution of differential equations)

The graph below depicts the situation for a hypothetical monopolistically competitive firm. The curves included in the graph are demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC). The graph is not graded, but you can move the point labeled P to help you find the numeric values to answer the questions. Price $ 80 MC M 45 P D ATC Quantity What is the size of the markup on the price? Number $0 What is the size of the excess capacity? Number Unitsarrow_forward
- per pair You are the CEO of a company that advises clients on pricing strategies. Bilbo Baggins is a profit maximizing client who produces uniquely styled shoes and hires you for pricing advice. The graph shows the demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves faced by Bilbo's company for two different groups of consumers. Assume Bilbo can prevent the reselling of his shoes, faces constant marginal cost (MC) equal to $20/pair, can identify varying consumer groups, and has no fixed costs (so, MC ATC). Use the graph to answer the questions. = Price $100 90 80 70 60 50 40 B What price should Bilbo charge?

- A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150 - 0.02 x Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (ie., per printing) = $46,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than 3,000 units per year. The maximum profit that can be achieved is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The unit price at the point of optimal demand is $ per unit.
