You own a bakery and shop that makes and sells gourmet doggie treats. You have done
market research and you know with certainty that your product is a normal good, not an
inferior good. The current demand function for your gourmet doggie treats is:
QD = 480 -6*P
which of course means the equation for your current demand curve is:
P = 80 -(1/6)*Q
You are opening a new shop in a new part of town, and you know that incomes in that part of
town are much lower than incomes are where your shop is now. Which of the following is
most likely the demand curve in your new shop?
Multiple Choice
O
P=68- (1/6)*Q
P = 102 - (1/6)*Q
P=92-(1/6)*Q
P = 88 - (1/6)*Q

- Asim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Asim initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Asim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Asim must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Asim gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000.

- Dunder Mifflin sells specialty paper to commercial clients in the Scranton area. Some of Dunder Mifflin's clients are seen as 'intensive users' who are price-sensitive, and have demands given by: P = 8 – 0.1Q where Q is the number of reams of paper desired per week. Other clients are less-intensive users of paper and have inverse demands given by: P = 10 – 0.2Q. If Dunder Mifflin's marginal cost of paper is zero, and it attempts to separate more-intensive and less-intensive buyers, what price should Dunder Mifflin set for each group? How much profit do they earn under this system?arrow_forwardJack is the owner of the only local bar in a small town.He sells whiskey in one-ounce glasses. For simplicity, let’s assume it doesn’t cost Jack anything to run his business. There are two customers, Adam and Burt who are twin brothers. Adam’s demand function is yA = 16 – 2p, and Burt’s demand function is yB = 8 – p (price is measured in dollars and quantity is measured by ounces). Jack knows their demand functions, but the problem is that he cannot tell them apart since they look exactly the same to him. To increase his profits, Jack offers the following two options that his customers can choose from: (1) You can pay $T1 up front and drink as much as you want; or (2) Pay $T2 up front and the price per ounce of whiskey will be $p. 1.a If p = 4, what is the maximal T2 that Jack can charge so that Burt is willing to come to the bar? 1.b What is the maximal T1 that Jack can charge so that Adam will choose the first pricing option?arrow_forwardJack is the owner of the only local bar in a small town.He sells whiskey in one-ounce glasses.
