YorMagnets and YorMugs are two companies selling merchandise to tourists visiting the city of York. YorMagnets sells fridge magnets and YorMugs sells mugs with images of popular attractions. Assume that YorMagnets is the only company producing magnets for York and YorMugs is the only company producing local mugs. The daily demand for magnets (until 2019) is given by D1 = 50/9 – 200/9 P1 + 100/9 P2.

Suppose the makers of PEZ candies have decided to test market a new dispenser with red, white, and blue candies. The PREZ dispenser (as it will be called in 2024) bearing the likeness of each political party's presidential candy-date is estimated to have a market demand given by: 5Q = 3000 - 200p where p is expressed in dollars per dispenser and Q is expressed in thousands of dispensers sold per week. a. If p= $6 per PREZ dispenser, how many PREZ dispensers will be sold that week? Less than a thousand? b. If p = $6 per PREZ dispenser, what will be the price elasticity of demand? PLEZ show your work. c. If the objective is to maximize revenue, how much would you recommend the company charge per PREZ dispenser?

In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards healthier eating, and this has led to increased demand for brown bread. A 2022 survey by the Hartman Group found that 62% of consumers are trying to eat healthier, and 58% are looking for more whole grains in their diet. The following diagram illustrates the impact of an increase in demand for brown bread. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? P R12 R11 R10 0 S a) b) 900 1 000 1 100 1 200 1 300 Q Before the increase in demand, the equilibrium price is R10 and the equilibrium quantity is 900. Owing to an increase in demand, the demand curve shifts from D to D1. At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, the quantity demanded is 1 200 and the quantity supplied is 1 100. c) At a price of R10, after the increase in demand, there is an excess demand. d) A new equilibrium position is formed after the increase in demand at an equilibrium price of R12 and an equilibrium quantity of 1 100.

Realizing that there is a great potential for increased tax revenue, government officials in Homeyville began discussing how they could align Airbnb rentals with hotel stays from a tax perspective. Fast-forward to 2018, at which time Homeyville has finally made tax arrangements with Airbnb to levy a $40-per-room tax on rentals. However, now the market conditions have changed. More hosts have now entered the Airbnb market, and awareness of this hotel alternative has increased demand. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for Airbnb rentals in 2018. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to illustrate the area representing the revenue raised by a $40-per-room tax. Then use the black point (cross symbol) to shade the area representing the deadweight loss generated by this tax.

S6. Consider a simplified model in which everyone gets electricity either from solar power or from fossil fuels, which are both in relatively inelastic supply. (Ín the case of solar power, think of the required equipment as being in inelastic supply.) The upfront costs of using solar energy are high, so when the price of fossil fuels is low (that is, when few people are using fossil fuels and there is a high demand for solar equipment), the cost of solar can be prohibitive. In contrast, when many individuals are using fossil fuels, the demand for them (and thus the price) is high, whereas the demand (and thus the price) for solar energy is relatively lower. Assume the payoff table for the two types of energy consumers to be as follows: COLUMN Solar Fossil fuels Solar 2,2 3,4 ROW Fossil fuels 4,3 2,2 (a) Describe all possible ESSS of this game in terms of s, the proportion of solar users, and explain why each is either stable or unstable. (b) Suppose there are important economies of…

A manufacturer of automobiles is planning a new model and wants to determine the responsiveness of demand in a number of scenarios. The demand function for the new model is given by the following function: Q = 30000 – 3P + 2000ln(PA) + Y Where Q is the quantity sold of the new model, P is the price for the new model, PA is the price of the competitor’s model and Y is the annual income of a typical purchaser. The new model price is planned to be £20,000 and the competitor is charging £25,000. The annual income of a typical purchaser is £30,000. (a) The manufacturer wishes to determine the responsiveness of the demand for the new model if the price of a competitor’s model changes. Which measure of elasticity would be appropriate to fulfil this requirement? And provide a calculation of its value.

Please help with the red, thank you!

Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demand for these two cameras are as follows (DS = demand for the Sky Eagle, Ps is the selling price of the Sky Eagle, DH is the demand for the Horizon and PH is the selling price of the Horizon): Ds = 230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH DH = 260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Select the revenue function for these two models. Choose the correct answer below.   (i) Ps Ds + PHDH = PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) + Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) (ii) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iii) Ps Ds + PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) + PH(260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iv) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 + 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH)   Answer: Option 3   Find the prices that maximize revenue. Do not round intermediate calculations. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Optimal Solution:…

Gr8 Ideaz Inc. has determined that the demand function for their heated socks is given by: 5 7P². a. Find E(p), the Elasticity of Demand as a function of price, p. E(p) = b. Find the Elasticity of Demand when heated socks are selling at a price of $10. Give result accurate to at least 3 decimal places. E(10) = c. At this price ($10): We would say the demand for heated socks is: Select an answer Based on this, in order to increase revenue we should: Select an answer d. Use the Elasticity model to determine the price that maximizes revenue. (Round result to 2 decimal places.) D(p) = = 345- p=

Assume the price of product A increases from $1 to $1.50, while the price of competing product B increases from $1.50 to $2.00. Based on the information, what we can say about the absolute and relative price differences between the two products and the relative attractiveness of the two products to consumers.
