A major airline sells an aggressively low priced ticket compared to a new low-fare airline, which is trying to enter the market.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The correct option is is A, predatory pricing

Explanation:

Predatory pricing is an illegal approach to pricing where a firm fixes a very low price in order to send competitors out  of business.

This is very applicable to a firm that has economies of scale where its cost per unit reduces as more and more units are produced, making it possible to undercut competitors without feeling much impact in profitability.

This approach is against the anti-trust law as it paves for a monopoly market,where only one firm operating in the market determines the price which is not likely to be favorable to consumers

Raggs, Ltd. a clothing​ firm, determines that in order to sell x​ suits, the price per suit must be p=120 - 0.5 x. It also deter
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

A) R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) 80

D) 2300

E) 80

Explanation:

Given the following :

Price of suit 'x' :

p = 120 - 0.5x

Cost of producing 'x' suits :

C(x)=2500 + 0.25 x^2

A) calculate total revenue 'R(x)'

Total Revenue = price × total quantity sold, If total quantity sold = 'x'

R(x) = (120 - 0.5x) * x

R(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2

B) Total profit, 'p(x)'

Profit = Total revenue - Cost of production

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (120x - 0.5x^2) - (2500 + 0.25x^2)

P(x) = 120x - 0.5x^2 - 2500 - 0.25x^2

P(x) = - 0.5x^2 - 0.25x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

C) To maximize profit

Find the marginal profit 'p' (x)'

First derivative of p(x)

d/dx (p(x)) = - 2(0.75)x + 120

P'(x) = - 1.5x + 120

-1.5x + 120 = 0

-1.5x = - 120

x = 120 / 1.5

x = 80

D) maximum profit

P(x) = - 0.75x^2 + 120x - 2500

P(80) = - 0.75(80)^2 + 120(80) - 2500

= -0.75(6400) + 9600 - 2500

= -4800 + 9600 - 2500

= 2300

E) price per suit in other to maximize profit

P = 120 - 0.5x

P = 120 - 0.5(80)

P = 120 - 40

P = $80
