The nearby graph represents the demand curve of an individual consumer of a greeting card's website. The firm has market power and can prevent resale. It practices block pricing by offering $0.25 per card for the first order of 100 cards, but will lower the price to $0.20 each for the next 25 cards, and $0.10 each for the next 50 cards (for a total of 175 cards).

MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?

Maria manages a bakery that specialises in ciabatta bread, and has the following information on demand and costs: Based on the available information, calculate total revenue, marginal cost and marginal revenue. Present all information in a table format (including the number of bread(s) sold per hour, price, total cost, total revenue, marginal cost and marginal revenue. To maximise profit, how many ciabatta breads should Maria sell per hour, what price should she charge, and how much profit will she make? What is the marginal revenue received by selling the profit-maximising quantity of ciabatta bread? What is the marginal cost of producing the profit-maximising quantity of ciabatta bread?

A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR?

Pricing Strategies for Firms with Market Power-End of Chapter Problem Elario's inverse demand for cupcakes is And Elario's marginal and average cost is a constant $0.50. Suppose Elario decides to sell cupcakes only in packages of 20. a. How much would customers be willing to pay to obtain a 20-pack of Elario's cupcakes? Price for 20-pack = $ b. How much profit will Elario earn from each customer? Profit per customer: $ c. Profit under this scheme is profit earned by Elario in part d of problem 16.

What quantity would a profit-maximizing publisher choose? What price would he set? b) Calculate marginal revenue. How does marginal revenue compare to price? Explain. c) Plot the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and demand (D) curves. At what quantity do the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves intersect? What does this mean? d) Obtain the economic profits (EP) of this monopolist and graph.

7. Changes in net revenue from price discrimination Consider the market for airline tickets on WestEast Airlines from Seattle to Chicago. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, and marginal cost (MC) curve for this particular flight. In particular, the cost of adding another passenger to an otherwise empty seat is constant at $150. For simplicity, assume throughout this question that there are no supply constraints caused by seating capacity limitations. Suppose WestEast Airlines sells each seat on the plane for the same price. А-Z Place the purple point (diamond symbol) on the graph at the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. Then, place the grey rectangle (star symbols) to shade the area representing net operating revenue at the profit-maximizing price and quantity.
