Topgun Records and several movie studios have decided to sign a revenue-sharing contract for CDs. Each CD costs the studio $2 to produce. The CD will be sold to Topgun for $3. Topgun, in turn, prices a CD at $15 and forecasts demand to be normally distributed, with a mean of 5,000 and a standard deviation of 2,000. Any unsold CDs are discounted to $1, and all sell at this price. Topgun will share 35 percent of the revenue with the studio, keeping 65 percent for itself. How many CDs should Topgun order? How many CDs does Topgun expect to sell at a discount? What is the profit that Topgun expects to make? What is the profit that the studio expects to make? Repeat parts (a)–(d) if the studio sells the CD for $2 (instead of $3) but gets 43 percent of revenue.
Company X produces a product, GlueX3, that Company X sales for $5. An opportunity presents itself to reallocate its manufacturing facility and related resources to produce Epoxy10. It believes it can sell Epoxy10 for $8. Explain how this switch creates “value”. Be sure to include for whom.
At a price of $28.75, producers will provide 8 items, while at a price of $34.25, they will provide 30 items. Consumers will purchase 85 of these items if the price is $90.5, but will purchase 133 items if the price decreases to $81.25. Find the market equilibrium point.

Asymmetric information and imperfect information tend to distort market price and quantity. The use of a money-back guarantee might work to Group of answer choices Enhance the promise of quality and reduce distortion of the market price and quantity. Motivate buyers to intentionally abuse products so that they can get their money back, reducing the impact of distorted market price and quantity. Encourage buyers to worry about why such a guarantee was necessary, increasing the distortion of market price and quantity. Stabilize the price and quantity of the product.

11. For most products, higher prices result in a decreased demand, whereas lower prices result in an increased demand (economists refer to such products as normal goods). Let d = annual demand for a product in units p = price per unit Assume that a firm accepts the following price-demand relationship as being a realistic representation of its market: d = 800 - 10p where p must be between $20 and $70. a. How many units can the firm sell at the $20 per-unit price? At the $70 per-unit price? b. What happens to annual units demanded for the product if the firm increases the per-unit price from $26 to $27? From $42 to $43? From $68 to $69? What is the suggested relationship between per-unit price and annual demand for the product in units? c. Show the mathematical model for the total revenue (TR), which is the annual demand multiplied by the unit price. d. Based on other considerations, the firm's management will only consider price alternatives of $30, $40, and $50. Use your model from…
