The El Dorado Star is the only newspaper in El Dorado, New Mexico. Certainly, the Star competes with The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the New York Times for national news reporting, but the Star offers readers stories of local interest, such as local news, weather, high-school sporting events, and so on. The El Dorado Star faces the revenue and cost schedules shown in the spreadsheet that follows: A template for the spreadsheet is provided in the Course Materials. You may download my template or create your own. Since we are using dollars and cents, be sure to go out two decimal places on your calculations. Add columns to show, respectively, marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), and total profit

What price should the manager of the EI Dorado Star charge? How many papers should be sold daily to maximize profit?
At the price and output level you answered in the previous question, is the EI Dorado Star making the greatest possible amount of total revenue? Is this what you expected? Explain why or why not.
Use the appropriate formulas to create two new columns (7 and 8) for total profit and profit margin, respectively. What is the maximum profit the EI Dorado Star can earn? What is the maximum possible profit margin? Are profit and profit margin maximized at the same point on demand?
What is the total fixed cost for the El Dorado Star? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.
Create a new spreadsheet in which total fixed cost increases to $5,000. What price should the manager charge? How many papers should be sold in the short run?

PX = $9500 PY =

1. Use the above to calculate the arc price elasticity
of demand between PS = $8000 and PS = $7000. The arc elasticity
formula is:
Ep= Q/P8 * P1+P1/Q1+Q2
2. Calculate the quantity demanded at each of the above prices and
revenue that will result if the quantity is sold (fill in table
below).
PS QS Revenue
$8000
$7000
3. Marketing suggests lowering the price PS from $8000 to $7000. The size of the elasticity coefficient in #1 should tell you what is likely to happen to revenue. Explain why this is (or is not) a good marketing suggestion from a revenue viewpoint (note: your answer in #1 and the calculations in #2 should be giving the same message). If the implications in #1 and #2 differ, does the difference make sense (or did you make a mistake in #1 or #2)?
4. Calculate the point price elasticity of
demand for Smooth Sailing boats at PS = $8000 (which should make QS
= 141600). Does this elasticity value indicate that demand for
Smooth Sailing boats is relatively elastic? Explain why or why not.
The formula is:
Qs/Px *Ps/Qs
5. Calculate the point cross-price elasticity of demand between Qs and Px with Px = $9500. Use Qs corresponding to Ps = 8000. Other variables and their values are as given at the top, before question #1. Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Smooth Sailing’s boats is relatively responsive to changes in Px? Explain why or why not. The formula is:
Esx= QS/Px*Px/Qs
6. Calculate the point cross-price elasticity of demand
between QS and Py, given that Py = 10000 and that PS = $7500 (thus
QS should equal 161,600). Other variables are as given at the top
before #1. Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Smooth
Sailing boats is relatively responsive to changes in Py? Explain
why or why not. The formula is:
Esy= Qs/Py *Py/Qs
