As a manager of a chain of movie theaters that are monopolies in their respective markets, you have noticed much higher demand o

n weekends than during the week. You therefore conducted a study that has revealed two different demand curves at your movie theaters. On weekends, the inverse demand function is P = 20 – 0.001Q; on weekdays, it is P = 15 – 0.002Q. You acquire legal rights from movie producers to show their films at a cost of $25,000 per movie, plus a $2.50 "royalty" for each moviegoer entering your theaters (the average moviegoer in your market watches a movie only once).
a) What price should you charge on weekends?

b) What price should you charge on weekdays?

Answer:

11.25; 8.75

Explanation:

On weekends,

Inverse demand function: P = 20 – 0.001Q

On weekdays,

Inverse demand function: P = 15 – 0.002Q

Let quantity demanded tickets on weekend be Q1 and quantity demanded tickets on weekday be Q2,

Profit function:

= [(20 - 0.001Q1) × Q1] + [(15 - 0.002Q2) × Q2] - [25,000 + 2.5(Q1 + Q2)]

For maximizing profit, Differentiating profit w.r.t Q1 and Q2,

⇒ (20 - 0.002Q1) - 2.5 = 0

⇒ (15 - 0.004Q2) - 2.5 = 0

Hence, solving for Q1 and Q2, we get

Q1 = 8,750

Q2 = 3,125

Therefore,

Price during weekends: P = 20 - (0.001 × 8,750)

                                           = 11.25

Price during weekdays: P = 15 - (0.002 × 3,125)

                                           = 8.75

An accountant increases the price he charges for his services by 66 percent. In​ response, the demand for his services decreases
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The accountant's revenue will decrease because the demand for his services has fallen by 1,818%, while the price he charges has only gone up by 66%.

The rise in prices will not be enough to cover the losses for such a deep fall in demand.

For example, suppose that before, the accountat used to complete 200 services a month for $100 per year, his total revenue is = 200 x $100 = $20,000.

Now, he will charge 68% more, the new service fee is $168, but demand for his services will now be a negative 3436 (200 x 1,818% = 3636), so his revenue will be 0, or even, negative (he could get into debt to afford his expenses).

Use the information about Company X below to help answer this question:
Harman [31]

Answer:

b. $12.67

Explanation:

The value of the company is the present value of its future dividends payments discounted at the company's cost of equity.

Year 1 dividend=current year dividend*(1+12%)

Year 1 dividend=$60m*(1+12%)=$67.20m

Year 2 dividend=$67.20m*(1+12%)=$75.26m

Year 3 dividend=$75.26m*(1+12%)=$ 84.30m  

Year 4 dividend=$ 84.30m*(1+12%)=$ 94.41m

Year 5 dividend=$ 94.41m*(1+12%)=$105.74m

the terminal value of dividends=Year 5 dividend*(1+terminal growth rate)/(cost of equity)

the terminal value of dividends=$105.74m*(1+8%)/(16%-8%)=$1427.49m

value of the company=$67.20/(1+16%)^1+$75.26/(1+16%)^2+$ 84.30/(1+12%)^3+$ 94.41/(1+16%)^4+$105.74/(1+16%)^5+$1427.49/(1+16%)^5

value of the company=$956.00 m

value of one share=$956.00 m/75m=$12.75(the correct option is $12.67 the difference is due to rounding error)
