Consider the movie ticket and popcorn example discussed in Section 17.7. The theater sells two products, tickets and popcorn. Suppose the weekly demand for movie tickets is           Qdtix=500−25Ptix−20Ppopcorn, where Ptix and Ppopcorn are the prices of a ticket and a bag of popcorn, respectively. Suppose that each time a moviegoer buys a ticket, his demand for popcorn is           Qdpopcorn=3−0.4Ppopcorn, where Qdpopcorn is the number of bags of popcorn the moviegoer buys. Suppose further that the theater's...

1. The movie distributor charges a movie theatre $4 per ticket to rent a movie. Suppose the theatre can seat a maximum of 200 people. The demand for the movie is different for the afternoon showing and for the evening showing. Based on the demand function P = 10 – Q/10 for the afternoon showing and P = 20 – Q/10 for the evening showing, the marginal-revenue function for the afternoon is MR = 10 – Q/5 and for the...

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales. The theater then gathered data over the following month to determine whether the price increase was profitable. Assume total costs to the theater are the same, whether the price of a ticket is $9 or $10. In order for the ticket price to have been profitable over the month, the elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be...

Scenario Suppose that a movie theater faces a downward sloping demand curve for popcorn and it increases the price of a container of popcorn from $4.00 to $4.80, which causes the count of containers sold to fall from 100 to 90. Questions 1. What is the elasticity coefficient? 2. Is the demand relatively elastic or relatively inelastic? 3. Should the theater consider raising the price of popcorn further? 4. When a firm faces a downward sloping demand curve, should it...
