- 2.21. Suppose that the market for air travel between Chicago and Dallas is served by just two airlines, United and American. An economist has studied this market and has estimated that the demand curves for round-trip tickets for each airline are as follows: Q=10,000 -100PU +99PA (United's demand) Q=10,000 -100PA +99PU (American's demand) where Pu is the price charged by United, and P4 is the price charged by American. a) Suppose that both American and United charge a price of $300 each for a round-trip ticket between Chicago and Dallas. What is the price elasticity of demand for United flights between Chicago and Dallas? b) What is the market-level price elasticity of demand for air travel between Chicago and Dallas when both airlines charge a price of $300? (Hint: Because United and American are the only two airlines serving the Chicago-Dallas market, what is the equation for the total demand for air travel between Chicago and Dallas, assuming that the airlines charge the same…Suppose that the market for air travel between Chicago and Dallas isserved by just airlines, United and American.

Group of answer choices D; S S; D S; Qd Qs; D2) Suppose there are 30 companies in a commercial building. Initially there is no fire sprinklery Sysstem in the public area of the building. The companies have identical individual demand curve for the fire sprinklers which is given by the equation: P = 10 - 0.5 Q, where P is the price of fire sprinkler and Q is the quantity of fire sprinkler: (a) Explain why the fire sprinkler system can be considered as a public good. (Hint: try to explain beyond repeating the definitions.) (b) Suppose each fire sprinkler costs $45. What is the optimal quantity of fire sprinklers to be Installed? (Hint: calculate and explain the social marginal benefit function of the fire sprinklers.) (c) Explain why it is difficult for this commercial building to install the optimal quantity of fire sprinklers if there is no central party to coordinate the installation.Joe has moved to a small town with only one golf course. His demand curve is P = 120 – 2Q where Q is the number of rounds of golf he plays per year. The manager of the golf course offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds of golf as he wants to at $20 per round. The golf course’s Marginal Cost is $20. - If the golf course wishes to implement a two-part pricing model, what membership fee will maximize revenue for the golf course? Please show your calculations. - How many rounds of golf will Joe play per year (calculate the value of Q*)? Please explain. - Would someone who just occasionally plays golf (perhaps 1 or 2 rounds once every 2 months) prefer two-part pricing as given above, or would they prefer to pay a price of $100 per round without any membership fee? Please explain.
- Shell has over 13,000 gas stations in the United States. In addition to gasoline, the gas stations also sell convenience items, such as snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, and hot food. Suppose you work for a gas station and your boss asks you to develop a pricing strategy for bottled local wine. The demand function is ? = 100 – 4?, where ? is the monthly quantity demanded of the bottled wine and ? is the price of the bottled wine. The marginal cost per bottle of wine is $5. Complete the following tasks: 1) (Calculating) In the worksheet “Q2 Calculations” of the provided Excel file, enter formulas in columns B-D to calculate Q (quantity demanded), MC (marginal cost), and MR (marginal revenue). Please round your results to one decimal place. Note that the inverse demand function is ? = 25 − 0.25? and that the MR function can be derived from the inverse demand function using the formula introduced in Module 5. You may find it helpful to review the Excel file for Chapter 11.ABC Co, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of Arizona Diamondbacks’ baseball caps. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q = 2,000 - 100P where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many caps could ABC sell at $6 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 1,800 caps? Suppose ABC were to use the caps as a promotion. How many caps could ABC give away free? At what price would no caps be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $6.4. An economic consultant for X Corp. recently provided the firm's marketing manager this estimate of the demand function for the firm's product: with Q = 12,000 – 3P, + 4P,– 1M + 2A, %3D where Qxd represents the amount consumed of good X, Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y, M is income, and Ax represents the amount of advertising spent on good X. Suppose good X sells for 200 per unit, good Y sells for15 per unit, the company utilizes 2,000 units of advertising, and consumer income is 10,000. How much of good X do consumers purchase? Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? Is good X a normal or an inferior good?

Golden Shore is a popular beach in Chicago located on Lake Michigan downstream of All- Leather's factory. Under the circumstances described in part (0) of the above question, the demand function to go to the beach at Golden Shore is given by x = 40 – 2p, where x is trips per household per month, and p is the cost of a round-trip visit to Golden Shores. The people who visit Golden Shores come from Hyde Park, South Shore and South Chicago. The round-trip cost to Golden Shore from Hyde Park is $5, from South Shore it is $10, and from South Chicago it is $14. 5,000 households live in Hyde Park, 3,000 live in South Shore, and 8,000 live in South Chicago. a) How much consumer's surplus is obtained per month through beach recreation at Golden Shore? b) Suppose the correct Pigouvian tax is imposed on leather production by All-Leather and the situation switches to the conditions described in part (g) of the above question. As a result, water quality improves at Golden…Suppose that managers at Honda are deciding how to price the new Honda Accord. The managers estimate that their total costs increase by $20,000 for each car they produce. They also estimate the demand curve they face; it is described by the equation: Q = -0.4 P + 16,000, where Q represents the quantity of Honda Accords they will sell and P represents the price they charge in US dollars. We can re-write that demand curve as: P = 40,000 - 2.5 Q. Take every possibly quantity that the managers might choose between and 7,000 in units of 100. For each possible quantity, calculate the associated price the managers would need to charge, the revenue they would earn, and the total costs. You can then calculate profits for each level of quantity. Highlight the cell that contains the highest value of profit. Finally, you can also approximate marginal revenue here as the change in total revenue after the next 100 cars are produced. At what quantity does marginal revenue roughly equal marginal cost?…
