A television station is considering the sale of promotional DVDs. I can have the DVDs produced by one of two suppliers. Supplier A will charge the station a set-up fee of $1,200.00 plus $2.00 for each DVDs; supplier B has no set-up fee and will charge $4.00 per DVD. The station estimates its demand for the DVDs to be given by Q=1,600-20P, where P is the price in dollars and Q is the number of DVDs. (price equation is P=8-Q/200.)

a. Suppose the station plans to give away the video. How many DVDs should it order? From which supplier?

b. Suppose instead that the station seeks to maximize its profit from sales of the DVDs. What price should it charge? How many DVDs should it order from which supplier? (hint: Solve two separate problems, one with supplier A and one with supplier B, and then compare profits. In each case, apply the MR=MC rule.)

You are required to design a steam power plant cycle that can achieve a cycle thermal efficiency of at least 20%. Assume that any used turbines have isentropic efficiencies of 80% and any pumps have isentropic efficiencies of 65%. The maximum pressure allowed for the cycle is 50...
