Tasty Inc. sells table salt to both retail grocery chains and commercial users (e.g., bakeries, snack food makers, etc.). The demand function for each of these markets is: Retail grocery chains: P1 = 180 − 8Q1 Commercial users: P2 = 100 − 4Q2 where P1 and P2 are the prices charged and Q1 and Q2 are the quantities sold in the respective markets. Tasty's total cost function (which includes a "normal" return to the owners) for salt is: TC = 50 + 20(Q1 + Q2) (a) Determine Tasty's total profit function. (b) Assuming that Tasty Inc. is effectively able to charge different prices in the two markets, what are the profit-maximizing price and output levels for the product in the two markets? What is Tasty's total profit under this condition?
Ecotripper Enterprises is the sole producer of Sunblast solar-powered skateboards, “The green alternative”. Market demand for Sunblasts is given by the formula: P=120-0.5Q, where p is in $ per skateboard and Q in skateboards per week. Total costs, in $ per week, are given by: TC=100+20Q, and marginal cost (MC) equal 20. a.) Derive the marginal revenue function and calculate the profit-maximizing price, quantity sold and the profit. b.) If the government imposes a price ceiling of $ 65 per skateboard, what is the effect on the equilibrium and the values derived in a.)? c.) If the government wanted Ecotripper to produce the socially efficient quantity of skateboards, what price ceiling could it set in the short run? What would the result be in the long run? d.) If the government decided to set the price ceiling so that consumer surplus was maximized subject to Ecotripper earning zero profits, what would be the level of the price ceiling, the quantity sold and the consumer surplus?
Suppose Medic Inc. has a patent for a new pill called Relieve, which alleviates Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and is approved to sell its products in two separate markets – USA and Canada. The inverse demand function in USA is given by PU = 24 - QU and the inverse demand function in Canada is given by PC = 12 - 0.5QC. Therefore the total revenue function for USA is given by TRU = 24QU - QU2 and the total revenue function for Canada is given by TRC = 12QC - 0.5QC2 . Relive is sold in strip of 10 pills and the marginal cost of producing each strip is $6.00. PU = Price in USA in US dollars; PC = Price in Canada in US dollars; QU = Quantity sold in USA; QC = Quantity sold in Canada. What will be the profit from the US market? a. $72.00 b. $45.00 c. $81.00 d. $0.00
In the long run period, a small number of firms produces the differentiated product "X" in a monopolistic competition market. The total demand for this product "X" can be written as: Qp(p) = 1350 – 45p The total cost function is: 1 TC = q³ – 3q² + 40q 10 What is the number of firms in this market?
The names of the compagny is H20 A compagny of water production and distribution company is in a monopoly situation. it's total cost function is given by: CT (q) = q² + 10q where q represents the quantities produced in millions of m ^ 3 of water. She is faced with the following request p = 50-4q with p the price in cents. Please answer the following question a) Calculate the price, quantity and monopoly profit of H20 b) Represent the demand curves of average cost, marginal cost and marginal revenue of H20 c) H20 learns from the news that a potential entrant wants to enter the market by selling 5 units at a unit cost of 20. Determine the price level below which H20 can set a limit price Then check whether the monopoly price calculated in question 1 can be considered a limited price d) Would H20 remain profitable if the entrant were to enter the market anyway ? (for this you have to calculate the market price that will rise as a result of the entry of the competitor) e) The entrant…
Destiny cable has market power in the cable television market in particular locality. The demand curve for Destiny’s output is Qd = 10 - 0.4P P = 23 - 2.5Q Destiny's marginal revenue function is MR(Q) = 25 – 5Q. Destiny's marginal cost curve is MC(Q) = 0.53 + 0.026Q. a) Determine Destiny's profit maximizing price. b) Calculate Destiny's elasticity of demand at this price. Is demand for cable TV elastic, inelastic or unit elastic? c) Given the computed elasticity of demand, if Destiny wants to maximize profit, should it increase, decrease, or leave unchanged its current price?

A firm supplies its product to a number of UK cities. Its overall cost function can be expressed as TC = 40q² + 900q – 250. The Demand function in Lancaster is given by p = 3600 - 10q and that in Norwich by p = 5040-6q. i) What prices should the firm charge for its product in Lancaster and Norwich? ii) If the firm only supplies its output to Lancaster and Norwich, is it profitable? Interpret your answer; why might the firm be unable to pursue this strategy? 5.

The market demand function is represented by P = 10,070 -2Q. In this market demand function, Pand Q represent the price level and output respectively. The total cost function of firm(s) in this market can be represented as TC = 50,000 + 0.3Q + 0.01Q2 in which the relevant marginal cost function will be MC = 0.3 + 0.02Q. What will be the net market surplus under a monopoly? The supply function is S = MC = 0.3 + 0.02Q.
Consider a market with a monopoly firm. Sales revenue of this firm is $15,960,000 total cost is $8,680,000 and average cost is $3.10 Another firm wants to enter the market and provide the same product at a lower price. To intimidate the potential competitor, the monopoly firm intends to use predatory pricing.By how much can this firm reduce the price of its product without losses? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
