At the beginning of the year 2021, three friends, Ebo, Michael and Joseph decided to set up a company that produces a special kind of fruit juice called BB fruit juice in a city called St. Botch. As fresh graduate from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, you were employed as the firm's general manager in charge of the day to day running of the company. In order to make informed decisions about the firm's product, you employed an economist, who estimated the demand curve of the firm's product by using information from 30 supermarket as follows: Q$ = 99.5 – 2.5P, + 1.25P, – 0.21 + 0.15N + 0.04A Where Qg is the quantity demanded of BB fruit juice in bottles, P, is the per pottle price of BB fruit juice, P, is the per pottle price of Blue Sky, I is the per capita income of the people of St. Botch, N is the number of consumers and A is amount of money the company spends on advertising. In addition, the economist also estimated the supply function for the product as: Qi = -78 +…

You would like to control the total consumption of soft drink up to 100 bottles per year. The current two brands you drink are Pepsi and Coke. The current demand, price, elasticity, and minimum demand for Pepsi and Coke are given in below. In addition, you would like to keep equal or more demand from Pepsi due to brand loyalty. Assuming linear demand curves, what are the best price for Pepsi and Coke that can minimize your total payment? Elasticity Current price Demand Minimum demand Keep Pepsi income > = 60% of total payment Pepsi 2 2 300 20 Coke 1 3.5 220 25

Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demands and selling prices for these two cameras are as follows. D = demand for the Sky Eagle P = selling price of the Sky Eagle DH = demand for the Horizon PH = selling price of the Horizon Ds = 227 0.60P + 0.35PH DH = 275 + 0.10Ps - 0.64PH The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Develop the revenue function R (in terms of P and PH only) for these two models, and find the prices (in dollars) that maximizes revenue. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) Revenue Price for Sky Eagle Price for Horizon Optimal revenue R = PS = $ PH = $ R = $
You own a bakery and shop that makes and sells gourmet doggie treats. You have done market research and you know with certainty that your product is a normal good, not an inferior good. The current demand function for your gourmet doggie treats is: QD = 480 -6*P which of course means the equation for your current demand curve is: P = 80 -(1/6)*Q You are opening a new shop in a new part of town, and you know that incomes in that part of town are much lower than incomes are where your shop is now. Which of the following is most likely the demand curve in your new shop? Multiple Choice O P=68- (1/6)*Q P = 102 - (1/6)*Q P=92-(1/6)*Q P = 88 - (1/6)*Q

Noticing that profits on college text books are very high, the Beast Book Store (BBS), with the help of a venture capitalist, has gone into text book publishing. In its current production range its average total cost is approximately equal to its marginal cost which it estimates to be about $25. It has estimated that price elasticity of demand for its books at current price levels to be about -1.5. The manager of BBS uses mark-up pricing to price the books that it sells using a 150% mark-up (even with this mark-up BBS can still underprice most other book publishers). Assuming that BBS wants to maximize short-term profits on its book sales and initially enjoys a monopoly in the local college textbook production market, is this a good pricing procedure? Harvard and other local colleges soon start publishing companies of their own increasing competition and causing the price elasticity of demand for BBS books to increase to -2.0. Assuming that BBS’s demand curve that generates this -2.0…
