Suppose a pro sports franchise faces demand for tickets to its home events according to the function Q = 13000 - 50P, where P is the price per ticket in dollars, and earns marginal revenue according to the function MR = 260 - 0.04Q, where Q is the quantity fo tickets. For this franchise, the vertical intercept of the demand function is

a. greater than the vertical intercept of the marginal revenue function

b. equal to the vertical intercept of the marginal revenue function

c. less than the vertical intercept of the marginal revenue function

d. equal to 13,000 tickets sold

Suppose the sports franchise discussed in item above incurs marginal costs according to the function MC = 80 + 0.01Q. Assuming the franchise is a profit-maximizer, it will generate consumer surplus in this market of:

a. $676,800

b. $259,200

c. $129,600

d. none of the above

Please answer the question clearly A Stadium faces a downward sloping demand curve for tickets to soccer games and the stadium has a fixed number of seats available. Assume the marginal cost of filling a seat is zero. Why might said stadium decide not to sell out every soccer game even though the marginal cost of selling additional seats is virtually zero? Discuss and illustrate graphically

Example 4: Suppose that the monopolist faces a demand curve for its widgets as q = 9 - 0.2p. The firm’s marginal revenue and cost functions are: MR(q) = 45 – 10q and MC(q) = 15 + 5q. The firm’s total cost function is C(q) = 2.5q2 + 15q + 3. How many widgets should the firm produce and sell so that the monopolist can maximize its profits? How much should the firm charge to each of its customers so...
