The owner of a baséball team and local stadium has Question 2. 7. commissioned a study that showed the demand by fans for stadium seats (per playing date) to be P- 22 - 0.2Q, where P is the average price of a ticket and Q represents the number of seats (expressed in thousands). The local stadium seats a maximum of 56,000 per game. Suppose the owner offers you 10% of the revenues. If you can only choose a uniform per-ticket price, what is the maximum amount you can earn per game? (Note: Assume that all seats and all games are the same in this problem.)

A university football team faces the following demand schedule shown for tickets for each home game it plays. The team plays in a stadium that holds 60,000 fans. It estimates that its marginal cost of attendance, and thus for tickets sold, is zero. The table below reflects this data: Price per Ticket ($) Tickets per Game 100 80 60 40 20 0 Total revenue = $ 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 Using this information, calculate how much total revenue the team will earn.
(a) Show that the function Q = a/P* , where a and c are constants, has a constant elasticity of demand: ɛg = -c. (b) (i) Determine the elasticity of demand for train journeys on a given route when the demand function is Q = 1200/P|.2, where Q is the number of fares in thousands. (ii) If the fare increases by 5%, use elasticity to calculate the percentage change in demand. (iii) If the fare decreases by 5%, use elasticity to calculate the percentage change in demand.
In this problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units.Suppose that the demand for a product is given by (p + 7) q + 6 = 1120. (a) Find the elasticity when p = $33. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(b) Tell what type of elasticity this is. Demand is elastic.Demand is inelastic. Demand is unitary. (c) How would a price increase affect revenue? An increase in price increases revenue. An increase in price decreases revenue. Revenue is unaffected by price.
On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the annual total revenue when the market price is $40, $60, $80, $100, $120, $140, and $160 per bike. 6250 5820 Total Revenue 5390 4960 4530 4100 3670 3240 2810 2380 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 PRICE (Dollars per bike) According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of bikes is currently $80 per bike, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is , a $20-per-bike decrease in price will lead to in total revenue per day. In general, in order for a price increase to cause an increase in total revenue, demand must be TOTAL REVENUE (Dollars)
Each time a song is played on the radio, the record company and the songwriter are paid a royalty of $0.30.Of the total, 75% goes to the company and the rest to the writer. If on a network of 50 radio stations, a certainsong is played 4 times a day during the first week and then 20 times a day for the next three weeks, how muchdoes the network owe in royalties for the four weeks? How much do the record company and the songwriterreceive each
3. Garibaldi Provincial Park is located between Squamish and Whistler. A travel cost survey was completed to estimate demand for trips to the park. Bascd on the survey an estimated demand function was derived to represent an average household: P= 200 – 50Q. This is demand per year per household. If there are approximately 2000 households with a travel cost of $150, 3000 households with a travel cost of $100, and 4000 households with a travel cost of $50, what is the total consumer surplus per year from the park?
12. The Vanier Cup, the finals of Canadian University football, was held on November 26, 2016 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. The organizers learned a lot are already planning next year's event! Based on what they learned this year, they know that the demand function for tickets to the game will be given by q = 200, 000 - 10, 000p, where p is the price charged per ticket. The chief organizer for next year is an ambitious person who wants to set prices so as to maximize revenue. (b) Write down an expression for the inverse demand function (price as a function of quantity), total revenue (as a function of quantity), and marginal revenue (as a function of quantity). Find the quantity and price that generate maximum revenue. (c) Derive an expression for the elasticity of ticket demand with respect to price. (Hint: your elasticity should be a function of the price, p.) What is the value of the elasticity at the revenue-maximizing price (your answer for price from part b)?
You are considering subscribing to ESPN+. You are willing to pay up to $66 per year for a subscription. The current annual price is $9. Calculate your consumer surplus under these circumstances.
What are the expected signs of the income elasticity of demand for high-speed rail and the cross elasticity of demand between high-speed rail and coaches. How does information on these elasticities help the high-speed rail company in business decisions? Explain.
(a) The inverse demand function for taxi-apps is estimated to be p = 100-2Q. If the price increases from 20 to 3O, then by how much does consumer surplus change?
When Home depot charges $93 for a children's game, they sell 100 units. When they charge $85, they sell 120 units. If they were to give away the game for free, how many units (Q) would be demanded?
In 2008 a car manufacturer sold 10,000 units of its leading model at N10,000. After deducting operating costs, dealers’ costs and all other variable cost this produced a surplus of N4,000 on each unit sold. Due to the recession, sales slump in early 2009 and the marketing director advises a price cut of N2000, arguing that this makes sense because the Own Price Elasticity of demand is –1.5. Calculate the amount of surplus that would be generated by the manufacturer in 2009 if the marketing director is correct and her recommendation is accepted.
