3 Subsidies for Stadiums Suppose Quebec is a city without a NHL team but they want one. Demand for a hockey game in Quebec is given by: P(Qq) = 90 − 2Qq Where Qq is in thousands of fans. Phoenix currently has a team (Coyotes), but is seeking subsidies to build a new stadium. Demand for hockey in Phoenix is: P(Qp) = 70 − Qp where Qp is in thousands of fans. The marginal cost of a ticket in both cities MC = 10. For all numerical answers, you can answer in thousands of dollars or dollars.
3.2 Subsidies Now assume subsidies are allowed.
b What is the highest subsidy that the city of Phoenix would offer the owners to stay?
c What is the lowest subsidy the owners would accept to stay?
d Would the team move to Quebec?
e How much is the winning subsidy?
f What is per game profit+subsidy for the team?
g What is per game consumer surplus
