Scenario: The market demand for soccer balls in a small town is 2,500 units. There are two rival sports brands selling soccer balls - "Sporty" and "Go!". The products of the two brands are identical. The quantity demanded for Sporty's soccer balls is 2,500 units if the price charged by Sporty is higher than the price charged by Go! the price charged by Sporty is equal to the price charged by Go! O the price charged by Go! is higher than the unit cost of producing a ball O the price charged by Go! is higher than the price charged by Sporty

3) You make a lightweight compact foldable windbreaker. Your brand, Desert Wind Jackets, is well established in the Southwest. In a drive to broaden your appeal and open new markets, you have rebranded under the simple logo DWJ. The strength of your brand, loved by your customers in the Southwest, means you have a price elasticity on demand of -2.76. Market research indicates that in the Upper West, where there is some knowledge of your brand, the price elasticity of demand is -3.50. In New England, where you are least known, it is estimated that the price elasticity of demand will be quite high, -5.76. Your marginal cost per jacket is $198.33. (ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE DOLLAR) a) What price will you charge in your southwestern region? b) What price will you charge in your upper-western region? c) What price will you charge in your New England region?
The inverse demand curve facing a resort hotel is during the low season and PL = 100-Q₁ PH = 350 – QH during the high season. The resort's marginal cost is $50 per night in cleaning costs for the room and general maintenance and administration. The resort only has 75 rooms. What is the resort's profit- maximizing peak-load pricing strategy? Illustrate the solution in a diagram. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the profit-maximizing price during the low season. Label this point 'e' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the profit-maximizing price during the high season.

3. Consider the Smith family who have the following demand for rental housing (q, measured in square feet): q=0.5*(y/p), where y is the Smith family income and p is the price of housing per square foot. The Smith's income is $4000 per month and initially the price of housing is $2 per square foot per month. a. If the Smiths are operating on their demand curve, how much housing are they consuming? b. How much is the Smith family's monthly rent? How much does the Smith family spend on other consumption? c. Starting from the initial equilibrium, the government now grants the Smiths a proportional rent subsidy with B=0.5. How much housing does the Smith family purchase given the subsidy? d. What is the gross market rent per month paid by the Smith family? What is the net rent (after deducting the subsidy) paid by the Smith family? How much does the Smith family spend on other consumption in its new equilibrium? e. What is total dollar outlay of the government for the Smith's housing…
Suppose Nationwide increases the insurance premium they charge for their auto policies by 8 percent. In response, the demand for State Farm auto policies in a small town increases from 6,000 to 6,900. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for State Farm auto policies in this town? Using the midpoint formula, the cross-price elasticity of demand for State Farm auto policies (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places) In this instance, auto insurance from Nationwide and auto insurance from State Farm are
