Your company manufactures two models of speakers, the Ultra Mini and the Big Stack. Demand for each depends partly on the price

of the other. If one is expensive, then more people will buy the other. If p1 is the price of the Ultra Mini, and p2 is the price of the Big Stack, demand for the Ultra Mini is given by q1(p1, p2) = 100,000 − 200p1 + 10p2 where q1 represents the number of Ultra Minis that will be sold in a year. The demand for the Big Stack is given by q2(p1, p2) = 150,000 + 10p1 − 200p2. Find the prices for the Ultra Mini and the Big Stack that will maximize your total revenue. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) p1 = $ p2 = $

Answer:

p1 = $259.53   p2 = $381.20

Explanation:

1. Find the revenue function.

This is a typical income maximization problem. Therefore, the first thing we should know is what are the revenues for each product.

Recall that the revenue is given by P * Q

1.a Find the revenue of the Ultra Mini (product 1):

R_{1} = P_{1} Q_{1}

R_{1} =P_{1} (100,000 - 200P_{1} + 10P_{2} )

R_{1} =100,000P_{1} -200P_{1} ^{2} +10P_{2}P_{1}

1.b Find the revenue of the Big Stack (product 2):

R_{2} = P_{2} Q_{2}

R_{2} =P_{2} (150,000 + 10P_{1} - 200P_{2} )

R_{2} = 150,000P_{1+2} +10P_{1}P_{2} -200P_{2}^{2}

2. Find the marginal revenues.

The revenue function must be derived from the price.

For product 1, we derive from P1:

MR_{1} = 100,000 -400P_{1} +10P_{2}

For product 2, we derive from P2:

MR_{2} = 150,000 + 10P_{1} - 400P_{2}

3. Create a system of linear equations in two unknowns

With the marginal revenue functions we create a system of linear equations in two unknowns (p1 and p2) and equal 0.

100,000 - 400P_{1} +10P_{2} = 0\\150,000 + 10P_{1} -400P_{2} = 0

4. Resolve the previous system

4.a. To make it easier, we can rethink the terms of the system like this:

100,000 - 400P_{1} +10P_{2} = 0 is the same as saying:

P_{2} = \frac{-100,000 + 400P_{1} }{10}

And 150,000 + 10P_{1} -400P_{2} = 0 is the same as saying:

P_{2}=\frac{150,000+10P_{1} }{400}

Therefore:

\frac{-100,000 + 400P_{1} }{10} =\frac{150,000+10P_{1} }{400}

Notice that now we only have one unknown (P1).

4.b. In order to eliminate fractionals, we can multiply both terms by 400:

\frac{400}{10} (-100,000 + 400P_{1} ) = \frac{400}{400} (150,000 + 10P_{1} )

(40)(-100,000+400P_{1}) =150,000+10P_{1}

-4,000,000+16,000P_{1} =150,000+10P_{1}

4.c. We solve the equation, putting numbers on one side and unknowns on the other:

-4,000,000-150,000=10P_{1} -16,000P_{1}

-4,150,000=-15,990P_{1}

\frac{-4,150,000}{-15,990} =P_{1}

P_{1} = $ 259.53

4.d. Once P1 has been identified, we replace it in any of the terms of the original system of equations (those established in 4.a).

P_{2}= \frac{-100,000+400(259.53)}{10}

P_{2} = 381.20

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Explanation:

In this scenario, the second option, which would be the percentage within each transaction that's also interest instead of the full amount, would've been lower if the rate of interest were lower because interest-related transactions would have been higher at lower rates and conversely, as opposed to the main refunds.

Suppose two​ countries, Country A and Country​ B, have a similar real GDP per capita. Country A has an average economic growth r
ozzi

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Many studies have found a positive correlation between economic growth and living standards. This means that empirical works have found that countries with higher economic growth, often have better living standards than the countries with less economic growth. In this case if real GDP per capita of both countries is similar, then they are comparable.

We can deduce that the country B will experience an increase in living standards much more rapidly in the long run because economic growth leads to an increase in profits for firms, there would be a better capital and labor return. This means that firms will pay more for capital and labor, if households are de owners of capital and labor, their rents and wages will increase. The disposable income will increase for households and they will consume more goods and services, then their living standards will increase.
