Suppose that BMW can produce any quantity of cars at a constant marginal cost equal to $20,000 and a fixed cost of $10 billion. You are asked to advise the CEO as to what process and quantities BMW should set for sales in Europe and in the United States. The demand for BMWs in each market is given by QE = 4,000,000 – 100PE And QU = 1,000,000 – 20PU Where the subscript E denotes Europe, the subscript U denotes the United States. Assume that BMW can restrict U.S. sales to authorized BMW dealers only.
a. What quantity of BMWs should the firm sell in each market, and what should the price be in each market? What should the total profit be?
b. If BMW were forced to charge the same price in each market, what would be the quantity sold in each market, the equilibrium price, and the company’s profit?

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 17.9%17.9% of women ages 1212–5959 test seropositive for HPV‑16. Suppose that Tara, an infectious disease specialist, assays blood serum from a random sample of n=1000n=1000 women in the United States aged 1212–59.59.
Apply the central limit theorem for the distribution of a sample proportion to find the probability that the proportion, ^p,p^, of women in Tara's sample who test positive for HPV‑16 is greater than 0.1990.199. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.
P(^p>0.199)=

The daily demand for hotel rooms on Miami in Florida is given by the equation Qd= 150,000 – 275P. The daily supply of hotel rooms on Miami is given by the equation Qs= 25,000 +312.5P. Diagram these demand and supply curves in the price. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of hotel rooms on Miami?
In: Economics
Consider a hotel which can supply an unlimited number of hotel rooms at the constant marginal cost c = 20 per room per night, so that the hotel’s total cost function is given by C(q) = 20q.1 Assume that demand for hotel rooms in Tallahassee takes two possible values: on game days, demand is described by the demand curve q = 100 − p, while on non-game-days demand is described by the demand curve q = 60 − 2p.
First suppose that the hotel acts as a price taker.
(a) What does it mean for the hotel to act as a price taker? What condition determines a price taker’s optimal supply decision?
(b) Assuming the hotel acts as a price taker, what will be the equilibrium price and quantity sold on game days? What about on non-game-days? (Remember, the hotel’s marginal cost is constant!)
(c) Briefly discuss, without solving, how your results in (b) would change if the hotel instead had increasing marginal costs (say for example MC(q) = qrather than MC = 20).
