The following graph shows the supply curve for a group of students looking to sell used smartphones. Each student has only one used smartphone to sell. Each rectangular segment under the supply curve represents the "cost," or minimum acceptable price, for one student. Assume that anyone who has a cost just equal to the market price is willing to sell his or her used smartphone. 300 250 Kyoko 200 Jacques 3, 125 150 Eleanor 100 AD Damell Beth 50 Andrew QUANTITY (Used smartphones) PRICE (Dolars per used smartphone)

1. In Town A there is only one newspaper, Daily Outrage. The demand for the paper depends on the price and the amount of scandal reported. The demand function is Q = 15SP-3 where Q is the number of issues sold per day, S is the number of column inches of scandal reported in the paper, and P is the price. Scandals are not a scarce commodity in town A, but it takes resources to write, edit, and print stories of scandal. The cost of reporting S units of scandal is £10S and is independent of the number of papers sold. In addition, the cost to print and deliver the paper is £0.10 per copy and is independent of the amount of scandal reported in the paper. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Explain whether the price elasticity depends on the amount of scandal reported and whether the price elasticity is constant over all prices. Comment on the price sensitivity of the readers of the Daily Outrage. (b) Calculate the profit maximising price using the formula that writes marginal…
