Question 2. 7.
commissioned a study that showed the demand by fans for stadium seats (per playing
date) to be P- 22 - 0.2Q, where P is the average price of a ticket and Q represents the
number of seats (expressed in thousands). The local stadium seats a maximum of 56,000
per game. Suppose the owner offers you 10% of the revenues. If you can only choose a
uniform per-ticket price, what is the maximum amount you can carn per game? (Note:
Assume that all seats and all games are the same in this problem.)

revenues from sales of the Highlander?
An attractive feature of new cell phones that was introduced in recent years is that you can switch carriers easily with the same device. How does this feature affect demand for wireless phone services? What are the likely effects on the demand that a particular US carrier is facing? Are there any elasticities that were likely to be affected?
