An artist is planning to sell signed prints of her latest work if 50 prints are offered for sale, she can charge $600 each. However, if she makes more than 50 prints, she must lower the price of all the prints by $5 for each print in excess of the 50. That is, 51 prints reduce the price by $5, 52 prints reduce the price by $10, and so on. How many prints should the artist make to maximize her revenue? Let x be the number of prints and p the price per print. The demand equation is pand the revenue function is Ro

6. Exercise 4.6 An econometrician hired to analyse a local golf course has determined that there are two types of golfers, the regular and the occasional. The annual demand for games from regular players is given by QH = 24 - 0.3P, where P is the price of a round of golf. On the other hand, the annual demand for occasional items is given by Q° = 10 - 0.1P. The marginal cost and the average total cost per item are equal to €20. a) If you could distinguish between regular and casual players, what price would be set for each type? How many games would each type of player play? How much profit could the golf course generate? Represent graphically. b) As an alternative to the discrimination of third degree prices, those in charge consider a double tranche rate according to which the members can play as many games as they wish at a price of € 20 per game. How much profit will the golf course generate if it charges all players the same annual fee for becoming a member of the club? What if you…

The Chicago Bears offer what are essentially two products: preseason and regular season football games. They play 2 preseason and 8 regular season home games. Suppose that Fred is a serious football fan. He values the preseason games at $140 each and the regular season games at $220 each. Joe is a more casual fan. He values the preseason games at $170 each and the regular season games at $180 each. Suppose that Fred and Joe are the only fans. If the Bears sell the tickets separately, the price of a ticket to a preseason game will be $ 140 The price of a ticket to a regular season game will be $ 180 Total revenue that the Chicago Bears collect will be $ 3440 If the Bears bundle tickets for the two preseason and eight regular season games together, the price the team will set for the bundle is S. Total revenue that the Chicago Bears collect will be S Should the Bears' managers sell the tickets separately or as a bundle? O A. The Bears should sell the tickets separately because they earn…
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.
Because of the housing bubble, many houses are now selling for much less than their selling price just two to three years ago. There is evidence that homeowners with virtually identical houses tend to ask for more if they paid more for the house. What fallacy are they making?
