- 8. Two software companies sell competing products. These products are substitutes so that the number of units that either company sells is a decreasing function of its own price and an increasing function of the other product's price. Let P1 and X1 be the price and quantity sold of product 1, and P2 and X2 the price and quantity sold of product 2. We have that X1 = 1,000|90--P1+ 2 and X2 = 1,000(90-P2+P1). Each company has incurred a fixed cost for designing their software and writing programmes, but the cost of selling to an extra user is zero. As the firms compete in prices, each company will choose a price that maximises its profits. (a) Explain why the price that maximises each company's profits is the same as the price that maximises its total revenue. (b) Write an expression for the total revenue of each company as a function of it its price and the other company's price.

For most products, higher prices result in a decreased demand, whereas lower prices result in an increased demand. 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 realistic: 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 sug- gested relationship between the 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.

- You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $60,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross- price elasticity of demand between product Yand X is -1.4. How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar.
