Consider a city of 200 people (100 rich and 100 poor) and two neighborhoods (100 people in each). Both groups generally prefer t

o live with rich people and are willing to pay a premium for living with a fraction of rich people that is larger than 50%. Poor people’s premium curve is given as P(poor)= 0.9x^2, where x is the percentage ofrich above 50% (e.g., if there are 52% rich, x will be 2). Rich people’s premium curve is given by P(rich)= 35x-0.1x^2. What is the equilibrium outcome? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1. Given information.

  • City of 200 people
  • 100 rich, 100 poor.

Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.

  • P(poor) = 0.9x^2
  • P(rich)= 35x-0.1x^2

Step 3. Calculation and step 4. Solution.

P(poor) = p (rich)

0.9x2 = 35x - 0.1x2

1x2 = 35x

x = 35

x is the percentage of rich above 50%, thus there are 35% rich people above 50%.

P (poor) = 1102.5

P (rich) = 1102.5

The equilibrium premium is $1,102.5

This chart shows the link between interest in a product and the price a consumer pays.
mr Goodwill [35]

<u>Answer: </u>

The given chart shows the link between interest in a product and the price a consumer pays.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The more the interest a person has in a product, the more willing he is to pay any demanded price for the product.
  • On the other hand, if a person is not at all interested in a specific product, he would not buy it even if it is available at the cheapest price in the market.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 8.39%

Explanation:

Margin = Net Income/ Sales

Net income for the company including the new investment:

= 864,000 + (Sales * Contribution margin ratio - Fixed costs)

= 864,000 + (4,200,000 * 30% - 966,000)

= $1,158,000

The combined sales for the company is:

= 9,600,000 + 4,200,000

= $13,800,000

Combined margin:

= 1,158,000 / 13,800,000

= 8.39%
