Systems applicationSolve and analyze the following problems. Make sure all the steps are properly justified. Correctly use mathematical notation or terminology. Interpret the solution in the context of the problem.Suppose the supply and demand equations for printed shirts for a graduating class are given byp = 0.7q + 3p = -1.7q +15where p is the price in dollars and q is the quantity in hundreds.Determine supply and demand if the shirts cost $ 9.00. Analyze and discuss the stability of the shirt market at this price level. Prepare the graph of the two equations in the same coordinate system and identify the equilibrium point, the supply curve, and the demand curve.

ABC, Inc. produces a special stem cell safety container in a monopolistically competitive market. The market is restricted to stem cell researchers and a few large medical agencies (e.g., Department of Health). The company has profitably exploited its market niche. However, the XYZ Company could enter into the market. The following market demand and cost information has been developed: P = $3000-$0.25Q, MR = ƏTR/ƏQ = $350 - $4.4Q, %3D TC = $1950 + $7.5Q2 + $6.5Q MC = ƏTC/aQ = $14 + $4Q, where P is price, Q is units measured by the number of containers, MR is marginal revenue, TC is total costs including a normal rate of return, MC is marginal cost, and all figures are in dollars. Assume that demand and cost data are descriptive of ABC's historical experience. If ABC wants to maximize their profit before XYZ enters the market, what would the following amounts be for: a. Price: P = $Answer b. Output (or Quantity): Q = Answer units c. Total Cost: TC = $Answer d. Economic Profits Earned: N…

A monopolist is facing the following demand schedule Pa24-30 That is, Q0 implies Pe24, then Qefimplies P21, and Q-2 entals P18, and so one. Fixed costs will be neglected in this analysis. The marginal cost is constant and equal to 3 for every unit produced. Determina (a) The quantity produced and the amount of maximum profits (b) Price and quantity to yield the efficient solution (c) Redo (a) when we impose a sales tax equal to 4 (per unit sold).
Tennis Products, Inc., produces three models of high-quality tennis rackets. The following table contains recent information on the sales, costs, and profitability of the three models: Average Quantity Current Total Variable Cost Contribution Margin Contribution Sold Price Revenue Per Unit Per Unit Margin* Model (Units/Month) ($) ($) ($) ($) ($) 15,000 30 450,000 15.00 15 225,000 В 5,000 35 175,000 18.00 17 85,000 10,000 45 450,000 20.00 25 250,000 Total $1,075,000 $560,000 *Contribution to fixed costs and profits. The company is considering lowering the price of Model A to $27 in an effort to increase the number of units sold. Based on the results of price changes that have been instituted in the past, Tennis Products' chief economist estimates the arc price elasticity of demand to be -2.5. Furthermore, she estimates the arc cross elasticity of demand between Model A and Model B to be approximately 0.5 and between Model A and Model to be approximately 0.2. Variable costs per unit are…
Case study: Maruti Udyog Ltd (MUL) enjoys monopoly in spare parts. Along with dealers, MUL is exploiting Maruti vehicle users. Often the vehicle user has to change the clutch plate twice in six months and has to pay Rs.3,567/-. MUL chargers the price of clutch at imported cost while clutch plate is actually made by clutch auto private Ltd at Faridabad. The replacement of a silencer costs Rs.800/-. The cost of spare parts and repairs by any reckoning is three to four times compared to Ambassador or Fiat. A random sample indicates that every eighth car has faulty clutch. In the context of defective parts and exorbitant cost of repairs, saving in fuel in Maruti as compared to other auto makers is of little consequence. Maruti vehicle users in dilemma they cannot get spare parts or get their cars repaired except through Maruti Udyog or its authorized dealers. But both charge huge amounts, not giving guarantee for a single day. MUL is thus, indifferent to the genuine grievances of its…
