Suppose you own a tax preparation services company, with fixed costs of $3,000/month and marginal costs of $25/appt.If the price is $60/appt, 500 appointments would be sold. If the price is $50/appt, 760appointments would be sold. a.)Use these figures to calculate the price elasticity of demand for your services. b.)Calculate the monthly profits and profit margins (profit/revenue) associated with the price of $60/appt and $50/appt. c.)Given these calculations, what price should you charge for your services, $50/apptor $60/appt?

Problem 11-04 (algo) ou are the manager of a monopoly that sells a product to two groups of consumers in different parts of the country. Analysts at your irm have determined that group 1's elasticity of demand is -5, while group 2's is -2. Your marginal cost of producing the product is 630 a. Determine your optimal markups and prices under third-degree price discrimination. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Markup for group 1: Price for group 1: $ Markup for group 2: Price for group 2 $ b. Which of the following are necessary conditions for third-degree price discrimination to enhance profits. Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. For correct answer(s), click the box once to place a check mark.

Assuming you are the managing director of a firm that produces three goods: A, Band C. The price elasticity of demand for A is 1.2, for B it is 1.00 and for C it is 0.75.It is known that he firm is experiencing serious cash flow problems and you have toincrease total revenue as soon as possible. If you were in a position to set the pricesfor these goods, what would be your pricing strategy for each product

You own Athleticon, which manufactures athletic wear. Your new contract with Atlanta United, a professional soccer team, allows Athleticon to be the sole suppler of athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. No one lese can manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be Athleticon’s level of profitability on the sale of “Atlanta United” athletic wear? Explain why. Your contract with Atlanta United only lasts 3 years. It was not renewed. Other firms can now manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo It is now 5 years after your contract with Atlanta United was terminated. Any manufacturer that wants to can manufacture and sell athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be the level of profitability and rate of return on manufacturing athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo? Explain why.
5. CostCo is a retail outlet that requires members to pay an annual fee to access its stores. However, once this fee has been paid, customers can buy any number of goods at a relatively lower price per unit. This is an example of...

3. An electric power plant uses solid waste as its fuel for generating electricity. The total cost in dollars per hour of producing electricity is TC = 12 + 0.3D + 0.27D. The utility can sell electricity at a price:per hour determined byp= 15-0.2D. F5 Determine the following for each of the cases above: A. What is the profit-maximizing quantity? B, What is the profit-maximizing price the firm should charge?
Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.
