If the marginal cost of making a copy of the full version of Windows that includes Interned Explorer (IE) is zero, Microsoft will set the price of Windows at $ per copy. If the average fixed cost of stripping IE from Windows is $80 per copy, Microsoft will set the price of Windows stripped of IE at $ per copy. If the marginal cost of stripping IE from Windows is $80 per copy, Microsoft will set the price of Windows stripped of IE at $ per copy.

Suppose that the fish processor could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the boat tour would no longer be affected. If the fish processor uses the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,300 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $1,900 per week. If the fish processor does not use the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,600 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $1,100 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the fish processor's economic profit and the boat tour's economic profit combined) with and without recycling. Action Profit Fish Processor Boat Tour Total (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) No Recycling 1,600 1,100 Recycling 1,300 1,900 Total economic profit is highest…

Your task is to show what the profit of this firm might look like using a key economics diagram. To make graphing easier, we will consider the price of the Ozempic drug for the middle-income country Bangladesh, which is $38 (assumed the profit-maximising price). For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.
Pic 1 : You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Here are the demand schedules for your two types of customers: Price Adults Children (Dollars) (Tickets) (Tickets) 10 0 0 9 100 0 8 200 0 7 300 0 6 300 0 5 300 100 4 300 200 3 300 200 2 300 200 1 300 200 0 300 200 To maximize profit, you would charge $ ? for an adult's ticket and $ ? for a child's ticket. Total profit in this case would be $ ? The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers. Now you set a price of $ ? for all tickets, resulting in $ ? in profit. Pic 2 : Indicate whether each of the following groups of people is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination.…
Suppose there exists a costless way to charge drivers on the freeway. Under this costless system, tolls on the freeway would be adjusted according to traffic conditions. For example, when traffic is usually heavy, as it is from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on a weekday, the toll to drive on the freeway would be higher than when traffic is light. In other words, freeway tolls would be used to equate the demand for freeway space with its supply. Would you be in favor of such a system to replace our current (largely zero price) system? Explain your answer.
Suppose that managers at Honda are deciding how to price the new Honda Accord. The managers estimate that their total costs increase by $20,000 for each car they produce. They also estimate the demand curve they face; it is described by the equation: Q = -0.4 P + 16,000, where Q represents the quantity of Honda Accords they will sell and P represents the price they charge in US dollars. We can re-write that demand curve as: P = 40,000 - 2.5 Q. Take every possibly quantity that the managers might choose between 0 and 7,000 in units of 100. For each possible quantity, calculate the associated price the managers would need to charge, the revenue they would earn, and the total costs. You can then calculate profits for each level of quantity. Highlight the cell that contains the highest value of profit.

Finally, you can also approximate marginal revenue here as the change in total revenue after the next 100 cars are produced. At what quantity does marginal revenue roughly equal marginal cost?…
A university football team faces the following demand schedule shown for tickets for each home game it plays. The team plays in a stadium that holds 60,000 fans. It estimates that its marginal cost of attendance, and thus for tickets sold, is zero. The table below reflects this data: Price per Ticket ($) Tickets per Game 100 80 60 40 20 0 Total revenue = $ 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 Using this information, calculate how much total revenue the team will earn.
