In summer its monthly inverse demand is Ps = 600 - 20g. In winter the inverse demand is Pw = 600 - Qw Paradise has a total of 250 yachts available for rental on a monthly basis. Which season is peak season? Why? What are the profit-maximizing prices in both seasons? Assume marginal cost is zero. Peak season is winter because demand is higher. The profit-maximizing peak-load price for the summer is Ps = 5 and the optimal peak-load price for the winter is Pw = (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
- A monopoly shuts down when never, because it can raise its prices as high as necessary to keep operating and maximize profits. the short run price is below its average variable costs. the average cost is less than price. the long run price is below its average variable costs.Perfect Competition and Monopoly Problems 1.
