The Trailer division of Baxter Bicycles makes bike trailers that attach to bicycles and can carry children or cargo. The trailers have a retail price of $105 each. Each trailer incurs $33 of variable manufacturing costs. The Trailer division has capacity for 24,000 trailers per year and incurs fixed costs of $410,000 per year.

Required:
1. Assume the Assembly division of Baxter Bicycles wants to buy 5,100 trailers per year from the Trailer division. If the Trailer division can sell all of the trailers it manufactures to outside customers, what price should be used on transfers between Baxter Bicycles's divisions?
2. Assume the Trailer division currently only sells 10,000 Trailers to outside customers, and the Assembly division wants to buy 5,100 trailers per year from the Trailer division. What is the range of acceptable prices that could be used on transfers between Baxter Bicycles's divisions?

You manage a farm that is looking to sell oranges in both California and Oregon. The demand for oranges in California is given by P^CA = 25 - 0.5Q_^CA and the demand for oranges in Oregon is P^OR = 19 - 0.3Q^OR. The total cost of selling oranges is TC = 10 + Q and the marginal cost is constant at MC = $1. If you cannot differentiate between customers in California and Oregon, and you are forced to charge the price that is optimal in California in both Oregon and California, how much profit will you lose compared to the profit you made in (2)? (Write answer without the negative sign nor the dollar sign.)

Please BOLD answer for a rating.

(2) You manage a farm that is looking to sell oranges in both California and Oregon. The demand for oranges in California is given by P^CA = 25 - 0.5Q_^CA and the demand for oranges in Oregon is P^OR = 19 - 0.3Q^OR. The total cost of selling oranges is TC = 10 + Q and the marginal cost is constant at MC = $1. If you can differentiate between customers in California and Oregon, you should charge a price of $312 in California and a price of $300 in Oregon.

An online shopping website considers offering its customers a mail-in rebate program. By this way, it aims to differentiate between different groups of customers. After the completion of the purchase of a wireless router, consumers can mail a rebate form to receive $ back. In other words, the net price after the rebate is p*-a for those who are interested in the mail-in-rebate. The shopping website is a monopoly with no fixed cost. Its marginal cost is $30.

The Market consists of two different consumer groups whose demand functions are as follows:

The demand of the two groups are as follows;

P1=150-2q1

P2=100-5q2

Assuming that the consumers of group 1 are not interested in rebate forms,

a. What is the optimal rebate amount, which differentiates between different consumer groups?

b. Assume that the firm has enough information about its consumers to implement a perfect price discrimination strategy. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantities and the profit if the firm uses perfect price discrimination. (Do not derive the kinked market demand curve. Simple assume that the market demand is Q=95-07P)

Chapter 6 Problem A consumer finds only three products, X, Y, and Z, are for sale. The amount of utility which their consumption will yield is shown in the table below. Assume that the prices of X, Y, and Z are $10, $2, and $8, respectively, and that the consumer has an income of $74 to spend. Product X (Price $10) Product Y (Price $2) Product Z (Price $8) Quantity Utility Marginal Utility per $ Quantity Utility Marginal Utility per $ Quantity Utility Marginal Utility per $ 1 42 1 14 1 32 2 82 2 26 2 60 3 118 3 36 3 84 4 148 4 44 4 100 5 170 5 50 5 110 6 182 6 54 6 116 7 182 7 56.4 7 120 (a) Complete the table by computing the marginal utility per dollar for successive units of X, Y, and Z to one or two decimal places. Remember the marginal utility per dollar would be calculated by first getting the marginal utility which is the change in utility as quantity increases and then dividing it by the price. When doing Quantity 1 you are going from 0 units to 1 unit. The utility for 0 units would be $0. (b) How many units of X, Y, and Z will the consumer buy when maximizing utility and spending all income? Show this result using the utility maximization formula. (Meaning they need to spend all of their income of $74) (c) Why would the consumer not be maximizing utility by purchasing 2 units of X, 4 units of Y, and 1 unit of Z?
