Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic and a monopolist raises its price, quantity would fall by a . Therefore, a monopolist will percentage than the rise in price, causing profit to ✓ produce a quantity at which the demand curve is elastic. Use the purple segment (diamond symbols) to indicate the portion of the demand curve that is inelastic. (Hint: The answer is related to the marginal- revenue (MR) curve.) Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show the quantity and price that maximizes total revenue (TR).

A distillery makes whisky, where its profits from production per bottle are given by T = p – y? where p is the price it charges per bottle and y is the number of years the bottle is aged. There are two types of whisky drinkers, connoisseurs (H type) and casuals (L type). H-type have utility UH (y, p) = 8y – p, while L-type have utility uz (y, p) = 2y – p. There are 10 consumers of each type, and each will buy at most one bottle. Each consumer's utility if she does not buy is 0. If a consumer is indifferent between buying two bottles, assume she will buy the more aged one (the one with higher y). If a consumer is indifferent between buying a bottle and not buying, assume she will buy. Bottles are characterised by (y, p), years of age and price. For each menu of offerings below, calculate the distillery's profit. (1, 9) and (4, 24) (1, 2) and (4, 24) (1, 2) and (2, 24) Calculate the firm's profits when it chooses the optimal menu.
You serve 3,000 private-pay patients and 1,000 health maintenance organization (HMO) members. Your fixed costs are $50,000 and your incremental cost is $50. You currently charge private-pay patients $75 and HMO members $60. This line of business is profitable. Profits would increase if you stopped serving HMO members. You should stop serving HMO members if fixed costs increased to $60,000. All of the above

A new vaccine offers protection against otitis media. Administering the vaccine to 10,000,000 children under age 5 would reduce otitis media cases from 14,000,000 to 11,000,000. The vaccine costs $100 per patient. What is the cost per case avoided? Round your answer to the nearest unit. Enter a numeric value as a non-numeric value will be converted to 0 thus potentially making your answer wrong. Do not enter a comma or any other sign for the same reason. I
How might imperfect information impact price? Group of answer choices Because buyers cannot determine the true quality of a product, they might tend to bid up the prices. Because they might not be able to present all the information about a product, sellers might temporarily lower the price to make potential buyers think the product is of excellent quality. Imperfect information might tend to cause prices to be perfectly elastic. Buyers cannot distinguish which goods have a higher quality and might be less likely to pay higher prices for that good.
