A group of management students are creating a business plan for their proposed shoe brand SoleSearching. The total production cost of x pairs of shoes is expected to be given by C(x) = x² +500x + 8000 pesos. The group intends to sell at p(x) = 1000 - x pesos per pair. 1 1. What will be the marginal profit when 100 pairs are sold? 2. At what production level will the average cost per pair be at a minimum? (Perform SDT)
Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) A.Determine the company’s total profit function. Also, (i) What are the profit maximizing levels of price and output for the two markets? (ii) Calculate the marginal revenues in each market. B.Now consider two cases: (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in thetwo markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging thesameprice in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price,output, and the total profits?…

In the market for foam fire retardant there is only one firm. The demand func-tion for the product is Q = 15,000 – 10P where Q is the annual sales quantity in tons and P is the price per ton. The firm’s total cost function (in dollars) is C = 1,400,000 + 300Q + 0.05Q2.a) How much foam fire retardant should this firm produce and sell in order to maximize its profit? What price should it charge?b) Compute the firm’s total profit.c) Suppose now that the firm faces a 20% increase in variable costs. Determine what impact this will have on the firm’s optimal choice.
