Question
Suppose you have been hired by a research firm trying to understand the market for Widgets (a hypothetical product). Your analysis of the data indicates that the Demand curve for Widgets is estimated to be linear and given by equation Qd = 150 – 3P and the Supply curve for Widgets appears to be linear as well and is estimated as Qs = 2P – 20.
- Graphically draw these two curves, labeling all relevant points (such as intercepts for each line) on the horizontal and vertical axes.

- A jewelry store makes necklaces and bracelets from gold and platinum. The store has developed the following lin- ear programming model for determining the number of necklaces and bracelets (x, and x,) to make in order to maximize profit: Maximize Z = 300x, + 400x2 (profit, $) subject to 3x1 + 2x2 < 18 (gold, oz) 2x, + 4x2 s 20 (platinum, oz) x2 54 (demand, bracelets) X1, x2 2 () a. Solve this model graphically. b. The maximum demand for bracelets is 4. If the store produces the optimal number of bracelets and neck- laces, will the maximum demand for bracelets be met? If not, by how much will it be missed? c. What profit for a necklace would result in no bracelets being produced, and what would be the op- timal solution for this problem?arrow_forwardIke's Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company's short-run average total cost (SRATC) each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) NOTE: the options for the blank question is this Suppose Ike's Bikes is expecting to produce 500 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using _______ (once factory OR two factory OR three factory)arrow_forwardT = - Q² + 17Q – 60 Find Q that maximizes the function:arrow_forward

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…arrow_forwardDetermine the total area under the standard normal curve in parts (a) through (c) below.
