2. Suppose retail water demand is given by wa = 70-p and the marginal cost of retail water is mc = 0.00125w². Currently the supplier cannot fulfill the quantity demanded under marginal-cost pricing, because natural water is in short supply. Suppose that only 32 units of natural water are available. Due to system leakage and evaporation, the relationship between natural water pumped and retail water received is Wntrl - 10 1.1 What is the value of an action to increase natural water availability to 43 units?

The GetUFit Company manufactures elliptical machines. The variable cost per unit to produce a model designed for in-home use is $500. The firm sold 1,311 of these machines at a price of $1,959. When the price was decreased to $1,613, sales increased to 2,256 units. Assuming all else equal and a linear demand function, calculate the profit maximizing price that GetUFit should charge for the machine. Currency (US) FREE
You have demand for 2 products: QA = 200 - 4'PA And Qg = 180 – 2°P8 %3D You anticipate seilling 80 units of each product. You have to mark-up your two products to cover an unexpected increase in overhead costs. Based on the cost-plus pricing procedure we did in class, answer this question plus the next question. What is the percentage value of the mark-up you will put on Product A? Be careful; I am NOT asking you the value of "1 Plus the Mark Up", I am asking you the value of the mark up.

Hw.146. Please set up an Excel spreadsheet, and show your work within the spreadsheet to complete the solution. 1. The demand for LED 60 Watt light bulbs sold at Home Depot can be shown by D(p) = -9p+750 where (p) is the quantity sold in hundreds and p is the price per bulb in dollars A. State the Revenue function for the LED bulbs. (Insert a text box in your spreadsheet.) B. Home Depot incurs fixed cost of $4000 and variable costs of .03 per bulb. Home Depot knows that to be competitive the bulbs must not exceed a price of $9.00 each. How much should the bulbs be sold so that Home Depot breaks even? C. What is Home Depots profit if it sells the bulbs for $7.50 each
The demand function for apples is the following. Qn = 10 – Pn + 0.2Y +0.5 Pc – 2Ps + 0.2A Where: Qn = annual sales of apples (millions of kilos) Pn = price of apples (£1 per kilo) Y = disposable income in the UK £trillions (£10 trillions) Pc = price of a pies £ per kilo (£2 per kilo) Ps = price of pear (£2 per kilo) A = advertising measured in hundreds of thousands of £5 (use as 5 in your calculations) What direction should the apple producers move the price if they wanted to maximize their revenue? a. There is not enough information. b. Don't change the price. c. Cut the price. d. Raise the price.

After extensive surveys, the research department of a company has determined that the supply and demand equations for a certain product are s(p) = 700p – 27300 and d(p) = 28000/p, where p is %3D the price in dollars. Find the equilibrium point. (If your answer is $500, then write only 500, without $.)
Price (Dollars per Bushel) 950 900 850 D 800 750 700 650 600 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 3 6 9 12 15 S 18 21 24 27 Bushels of Corn (Billions) The graph above shows hypothetical demand and supply functions for corn in the U.S. Oil prices increase due to some political problems in middle east. This causes the marginal cost of producing each bushel of corn to increase by $150.00. This is because, oil is used to produce gasoline that farmers use to operate tractors, groundwater water pumps, and other farming equipment. Higher gasoline prices also affect the costs of transporting corn to consumer centers. This number may, of course, be unrealistic. But it will make the graph less messy and calculations less cumbersome. Calculate the following:
1. The marginal price ?? ?? at ? units of demand per week is proportional to the price p. There is no weekly demand at a price of $1000 per unit, that is ?(0) = 1000. There is a weekly demand of 10 units at price of $367.88 per unit, ?(10) = 367.88. (A) Find the price-demand equation. (B) At a demand of 20 units per week, what is the price?
