Management at the Macho Burrito Hacienda has completed a study of weekly demand for its super-supremo-dos-nacho-double-grande-mucho-muncho burritos. The study revealed that the demand for the four-pound cheese-stuffed, bacon-smothered, grease-dripping, colossal-sized macho burrito meal (X) is given by the following equation:

                                    QX = 1,320 -1,000 PX + 700 PT + 7 I + 200 A

where  QX           = the number of the four-pound macho burrito meals sold

                        PX        = the price of the four-pound macho burrito meals

                        PT            = the price of bacon cheeseburger double-decker tacos

                        I           = per capita income

                        A         = Advertising expenditure                  

            Currently PX = 5, PT = 2, I = 40 and A = 20.

  1. Calculate the elasticity of demand for burrito meals with respect to the price of burritos, the price of tacos, and per capita income.

(b)       Should the Macho Burrito Hacienda raise the price of its burrito meals to increase Total Revenue? Why or why not?

(c)        Calculate consumer surplus at the Revenue-maximizing price.

(d)       If the cost per burrito is $3 and Macho Burrito Hacienda behaves as a monopolist, how many burrito meals will be sold and at what price?

1The demand for a resource is a (constant, derived) ________________ demand that depends on the productivity of the resource and the price of the product made from the resource. 2.If the firm hires the resource in a purely competitive market, the marginal resource (cost, product) ______ will be (greater than, less than, equal to) _______ the price of the resource. 3.The demand for a resource will change if the (demand, supply) ___________ of the product the resource produces changes. 4.The output of the firm being constant, a decrease in the price of resource A will induce the firm to hire (more, less) ____ of resource A and (more, less)____ of other resources; this is called the (substitution, output) _____ effect. 5.A decrease in the price of a complementary resource will cause the demand for labor to (increase, decrease) __________. 6.If the marginal product of labor declines slowly when added to a fixed stock of capital, the demand for labor (MRP) will decline (rapidly, slowly) ___________. 7.The larger the number of good substitutes available for a resource, the (greater, less) ___________ will be the elasticity of demand for a resource. 8.If the marginal revenue product (MRP) of a resource is equal to the price of that resource, the marginal revenue product (MRP) divided by its price is equal to (1, infinity) __________. 9.Give four reasons why it is important to study resource pricing. 10.What are three factors that determine the elasticity of demand for a resource?

2. TurboCard credit card company offers a loyalty program to its credit card users whereby the credit card company gives the credit card user points for amounts purchased from merchants when using the credit card. These points may be accumulated and redeemed for a number of different goods or services, including cash-back. TurboCard separately enters into arrangements with merchants under which the credit card company provides the financing for the transaction between the merchant and the credit card user, in return for which the credit card company receives a stated fee from the merchant. When the credit card user uses the credit card to make a purchase from a merchant, TurboCard honors its agreement with the merchant and advances the merchant the funding for the amount of the transaction after deducting the fee to which the credit card company is entitled. However, as a result of that transaction, TurboCard now also has an obligation to the credit card user to provide the specified number of points in the loyalty program.

Required:

a. How many performance obligations are involved in these activities?

b. Assuming there are two performance obligations, how would revenue be recognized?

c. Assuming there is only one performance obligation, how would revenue be recognized?
