Paolo's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Paolo produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Paolo faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Paolo must lower his price from $75,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that while Paolo gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $75,000.

4. Problems and Applications Q6 You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Here are the demand schedules for your two types of customers: Price (Dollars) 10 9 8 7 55 6 4 3 2 1 0 Adults (Tickets) 0 100 200 300 300 300 300 300 300 300 300 To maximize profit, you would charge $ Now you set a price of $ Children Children (Tickets) 0 0 0 0 100 200 200 200 200 200 The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers.

Gains from Trade - End of Chapter Problem Between 2016 and 2017, Nintendo produced 2.3 million NES Classic Edition mini consoles that sold out almost immediately as they arrived at stores. The retail price of the mini console was $59.99. However, if you were to check eBay at the time, you would see that people were buying the units for $250 each from scalpers. a. The price of $250 tells scalpers O they should continue to buy the console at the store and resell it on eBay for a higher price. they should keep the consoles they have already purchased and hang onto to them, as they will be considered antiques someday. they should no longer buy and resell the consoles because the price on eBay is too high to make a profit. b. Upon observing that the only way to obtain the gaming console is to buy it on eBay for $250, a consumer might do which of the following? Select all that apply. Consider buying another type of gaming console that is cheaper. Approach a family member about sharing the…
