- Leah's Pizza delivers several types of pizza, which is sold for 499 pesos each and costs 300 pesos to make.

You knew about the concert, but you decided you’re not a big enough fan to pay $100 for a ticket. On the other hand, she would have bought tickets even if they cost $150 each. If you assume that she cannot sell the ticket anywhere else, what is the minimum price you can offer her for the ticket that she will accept? Explain your answer.You bought a ticket for a concert of Taylor Swift in Manchester for £400. If you want, you can return the ticket for a full refund up to the start of the concert. You were willing to pay up to £600 for that ticket. The train ticket from your home to Manchester and return costs £150. There are no other costs of going to the concert. You realise now that the concert is sold out. After checking various websites, you receive a firm offer for your concert ticket of £2100. If you do not go to the concert, your next best alternative for that day is watching a pay-per-view video of an Amy McDonalds concert on Netflix for £50 at home. Your willingness to pay for the pay-per-view video is £300 (Your willingness to pay for the concert ticket does not change over time.) Which decision is the optimal decision in economic terms? What is the opportunity cost of going to the concert in Manchester? What is the opportunity cost of staying home? Calculate the net cost (or net benefit) if you decide to…

- Cameron sells premium steak at the local market. He has a lot of customers due to the promising taste and texture of his steak. One kilogram of his premium steak costs $80.50. However, it would only cost $68.50 per kilogram if a customer buys 3 kilograms and $58.50 per kilogram if a customer buys 5 kilograms. Cameron can supply 100 kilograms of premium steak in a day, but his supply only lasts for an hour and a half. Which of the following statements is true? With this pricing scheme, Cameron is extracting all the consumer surplus. Cameron is basing his pricing scheme on the maximum amount a customer is willing to pay for his premium steak. Cameron is using third degree price discrimination by charging different prices for different "blocks" of kilograms for his premium steak. Cameron receives a larger revenue and profts with this pricing scheme compared to charging a single lower price for larger quantities. None of the above are true.Question 5 You negotiate with a retailer over a contract according to which the retailer would buy a large fraction of your current production for next year. The retailer is perfectly informed about consumer demand, but you do not know whether demand is high or low. You only know that the probability for high demand is 80%. If demand is high, the retailer's profit is £5 million minus what he pays to you according to your contract. If demand is low, the retailer's profit is £3 million minus what he pays to you. Your costs of producing the output specified in the contract are £1 million. You can make sequential offers for the retailer's total payment for you to deliver a fixed quantity of your production. As you know that your competitor is also seeking a similar contract with this retailer, and the retailer can only supply one firm due to limited shelf space, you know that you can only make at most two offers. If your first offer is rejected, the retailer will strike the deal with your…You have been assigned to create a new TV game show, and you have an interesting idea that you call, “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.” The basics are: 1) two contestants; 2) the show begins with each contestant being given $1 million (!); and then 3) they begin playing a game that can increase or decrease that $1 million. You worry that the initial outlay of $2 million will stun your producers, so you decide to prepare them with a simpler version of your game that you call: “I WANT $3.” There are four steps in this simpler game: There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). Each player is given $3 at the start of the game. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose whether they want to add $0, $1, $2 or $3 to their initial stake of $3. Doing so reduces their opponent’s award by $0, $2, $4, or $6, respectively. Each player knows that their payoff at the end of the game is based on their initial $3,…

You have just learned from your marketing team that other companies have introduced similar products. As a result of this competition, the expected sales of your new product once you have completed development and actually begun production is now just $3 million. Your production team tells you that it will cost another $1 million to finish development and make your product. The decision is now yours: should you give the go-ahead to complete development of the product? Why or why not? In the event that your production team’s cost estimate is inaccurate, what is the most that your company should pay to complete development? Why? Be sure to incorporate (and define) the relevant concept into your answer.
