Assume the following demand curve: Q = 50,400 – 1,200(P). Variable costs are estimated to be $25.18. Calculate total contribution margin at the optimal price. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Q = 50,400 - 1200 (P)
Variable costs are estimated to be $25.18
Contribution margin = 50,400 - 1,200 * ($25.18)
Contribution margin = 50,400 - $30,216
Contribution margin = $20,184

Assume the following demand curve: Q = 100,800 – 3,943(P). Calculate elasticity for a price change from $17.30 to $18.50. Report your answer as a POSITIVE number, rounded to one decimal place. Assume the following demand curve: Q = 1,425 – 134(P). Variable costs = $3.60. Calculate the optimal price. Round to two decimal places.
A monopolist has variable costs of VC = q2 and faces a demand curve of P = 24 – q, where P is price and q the quantity sold. If the monopolist sets a single price what is profit (assume there are no fixed costs)?
Assume that a monopolist faces a demand curve for its product given by: p=100−1q p = 100 - 1 q Further assume that the firm's cost function is: TC=570+14q T C = 570 + 14 q Using calculus and formulas (don't just build a table in a spreadsheet as in the previous lesson) to find a solution, how much output should the firm produce at the optimal price? Round the optimal quantity to the nearest hundredth before computing the optimal...
T.C. = 14,500 + 200 Q – 4Q² + 2 Q³, Demand: Q = 1,200 – 0.5 P 1. At what level of Q (please round-off this Q to the nearest unit) and at what Price would this monopoly maximize profits? 2. Please use the marginal cost mark-up approach to calculate the Learner Index and interpret/explain your answer.
Q4. A firm has a demand curve P = 6600 - 100. Its total costs are TC = Q2. What are the optimal output, price and profits of the firm? Now assume that the firm is divided into two profit centres. One division manufactures the product at a total cost of TC = Q?, then transfers it to a selling division that faces the firm's demand curve. The selling division has no costs other than the transfer price and that...
Dumping. Assume that a firm is a monopolist at Home facing the inverse-demand curve, P = 10 − Q, but is one of many competitors in the world market, where it can sell its output at a price Pw = 2. Furthermore, assume that the firm’s total cost is given by: T C (Q) = 10 + (Q^2)/2. Answer the following questions: (a) Find the optimal level of output that maximizes the firm’s total profits. Is it optimal for the...
