FRONT PAGE 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

Asim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Asim initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Asim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Asim must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Asim gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000.

Harriet McNeil, proprietor of McNeil's Auto Mall, believes that it is good business for her automobile dealership to have more customers on the lot than can be served, as she believes this creates an impression that demand for the automobiles on her lot is high. However, she also understands that if there are far more customers on the lot than can be served by her salespeople, her dealership may lose sales to customers who become frustrated and leave without making a purchase. Ms. McNeil is primarily concerned about the staffing of salespeople on her lot on Saturday mornings (8:00 a.m. to noon), which are the busiest time of the week for McNeil's Auto Mall. On Saturday mornings, an average of 6.8 customers arrive per hour. The customers arrive randomly at a constant rate throughout the morning, and a salesperson spends an average of one hour with a customer. Ms. McNeil's experience has led her to conclude that if there are two more customers on her lot than can be served at any time…
