Demand in a competitive market is Qd(P)=120 – (4/10)*P. If 20 units are transacted, what is the lowest marginal benefit (i.e., MWTP) at which an item is purchased?

The price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But the price increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude to be turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabia have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017- 18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy Information Administration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater than production by 20 million barrels this year.    In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol. Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected because crude is such a small part of their spending.    a. Explain, using supply and…

A firm produces two goods, A and B. Due to the product A’s fall in popularity near the end of last year, the estimated demand (units purchased) for A is 25% less than that of B. The selling price per unit is $30 for A and $20 for B. If the revenue target is $85,000 this year, how much of each of the two goods must be sold? (Round to whole number if necessary)

What must be true about a demand function g(p) so that, at a price per item of p = $100, revenue will decrease if the price per item is increased? %3D

Assume a company expects to sell 6 million packages of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! in the first year after introduction but expects that 70 percent of those sales will come from buyers who would normally purchase existing Pop-Tart flavors (that is, cannibalized sales). The price for a package of Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! is $1.30 and its variable cost is $0.65, when the price for a package of original Pop-Tart is $1.10 with variable cost of $0.30. Assuming the sales of regular Pop-Tarts are normally 300 million packages per year and that the company will incur an increase in fixed costs of $450,000 during the first year to launch Gone Nutty! will the new product be profitable for the company? Determine the unit contributions and the loss for every package cannibalized from the original product. (Round to the nearest cent.) Unit contribution original Pop-Tarts $ Pop-Tarts Gone Nutty! Loss for every package cannibalized S

Every year in September, the NFL (National Football League) announces official prices of their next Superbowl tickets. The official ticket prices for 2020 Superbowl ticket in the NFL official websites started from $4,500 per person and it was up to over $12,000 per person depending on the location of the seats from the field. However, about three fourth of all tickets were already distributed to the NFL teams. The other one fourth are distributed to the media, NFL partners and sponsors. As a result, a small fraction of a total of about 80,000 tickets were sold in the secondary market. Those tickets were available to buy and sell in the official NFL online sites and other ticket brokers. Given the limited supply of tickets available to the NFL fans to purchase, the actual prices are dominated by the wide fluctuation of demand caused by many factors such as the venue of the game, the winning teams for the championship match, the packages of tickets offered by the brokers, and the weather…

A company manufactures two products. If it charges price p1 for product 1 and price p2 for product 2, it can sell quantities q1 = 55 − 3p1 + 2p2 and q2 = 75 + 2p1 − 2p2 for products 1 and 2, respectively. It costs the company $20 to produce a unit of product 1 and $65 to produce a unit of product 2.    How many units of each product should the company produce? What prices should it charge, to maximize profit?          Suppose the company must produce a minimum of 20 units of each product. How many units of each product should the company produce in that case? What prices should it charge, to maximize profit?

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.
