Management at the Macho Burrito Hacienda has completed a study of weekly demand for its super-supremo-dos-nacho-double-grande-mucho-muncho burritos. The study revealed that the demand for the four-pound cheese-stuffed, bacon-smothered, grease-dripping, colossal-sized macho burrito meal (X) is given by the following equation:
QX = 1,320 -1,000 PX + 700 PT + 7 I + 200 A
where QX = the number of the four-pound macho burrito meals sold
PX = the price of the four-pound macho burrito meals
PT = the price of bacon cheeseburger double-decker tacos
I = per capita income
A = Advertising expenditure
Currently PX = 5, PT = 2, I = 40 and A = 20.
(b) Should the Macho Burrito Hacienda raise the price of its burrito meals to increase Total Revenue? Why or why not?
(c) Calculate consumer surplus at the Revenue-maximizing price.
(d) If the cost per burrito is $3 and Macho Burrito Hacienda behaves as a monopolist, how many burrito meals will be sold and at what price?
