I've completed a-d, I need answers for E-H, please!

The demand for product Q is given by Q = 385 - P and the total cost of Q by: STC=3000+40Q-5Q^2 +(1/3)Q^3

1. Find the price function and then the TR function. See Assignment 3 or 4 for an example.

Q = 385 - P

P = 385 - Q

Total revenue (TR) = P x Q = 385Q - Q²

2. Write the MR and MC functions below. Remember: MR = dTR/dQ and MC = dSTC/DQ. See Assignment 5 for a review of derivatives.

MR = dTR/dQ = 385 - 2Q

MC = dSTC/dQ = 40 - 10Q + Q²

3. What positive value of Q will maximize total profit?   Remember, letting MR = MC signals the objective of total profit maximization. Solve MR = MC for Q. The value of Q you get should not be zero or negative.

385 - 2Q = 40 - 10Q + Q²

Q² - 8Q - 425 = 0

Q² - 25Q + 17Q - 425 = 0

Q(Q - 25) + 17(Q - 25) = 0

(Q - 25) (Q + 17) = 0

Therefore, Q = 25, Q = -17

We dismiss Q=-17 because it is zero or negative, leaving

Q=25 will maximize total profit

4. Use the price function found in (a) to determine the price per unit that will need to be charged at the Q found in (c). This will be the price you should ask for the total profit maximizing quantity.

P = 385 - Q = 385 - 25 = 360

5. What total profit will result from selling the quantity found in (c) at the price found in (d)? Remember, profit is TR – STC.
6. At what level of Q is revenue maximized? Remember let MR = 0 and solve for Q. MR = 0 signals the objective of maximizing revenue.
7. At what positive level of Q is marginal profit maximized? You found the profit function in (e) above.   Marginal profit is the first derivative of the profit function (e). Next, find the derivative of marginal profit, set it equal to zero, and solve for Q.
8. What price per unit should be charged at the quantity found in (g)? Simply plug the Q you got in (g) into the same price function you found in (a) and also used in (d).

(Prepared from a situation suggested by Professor John W. Hardy.) Lone Star Meat Packers is a major processor of beef and other meat products. The company has a large amount of T-bone steak on hand, and it is trying to decide whether to sell the T-bone steaks as they are initially cut or to process them further into filet mignon and the New York cut. If the T-bone steaks are sold as initially cut, the company figures that a 1-pound T-bone steak would yield the following profit: Selling price ($2.50 per pound) $ 2.50 Less joint costs incurred up to the split-off point where T-bone steak can be identified as a separate product 1.40 Profit per pound $ 1.10 As mentioned above, instead of being sold as initially cut, the T-bone steaks could be further processed into filet mignon and New York cut steaks. Cutting one side of a T-bone steak provides the filet mignon, and cutting the other side provides the New York cut. One 16-ounce T-bone steak cut in this way will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon and one 8-ounce New York cut; the remaining ounces are waste. The cost of processing the T-bone steaks into these cuts is $0.17 per pound. The filet mignon can be sold for $3.60 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $3.70 per pound.

Required: 1. Determine the profit per pound from processing the T-bone steaks into filet mignon and New York cut steaks. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Per 16 ounce t bone

Sales from further processing:

Sales price of one filet mignon

Sales price of one New York cut

Total revenue from further processing

Less sales revenue from one T-bone steak

Incremental revenue from further processing

Less cost of further processing

Profit(loss) per pound from further processing

2. Would you recommend that the T-bone steaks be sold as initially cut or processed further? T-bone steaks should be processed further. T-bone steaks should be sold as initially cut.

In a journal please, I want to make sure I did it correctly.

On January 1, 2015, when its $30 par value common stock was selling for $80 per share, a corporation issued $30 million of 10% convertible debentures due in 10 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $1,000 bond to convert it into six shares of the corporation’s $30 par value common stock. The debentures were issued for $31 million. At the time of issuance, the present value of the bond payments was $28.50 million, and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2016, the corporation’s $30 par value common stock was split 3 for 1. On January 1, 2017, when the corporation’s $10 par value common stock was selling for $90 per share, holders of 40% of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion options. The corporation uses the straight-line method for amortizing any bond discounts or premiums.

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit Ceres, a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).

Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.

There are three sources of revenue for the concert:

- Tickets will be sold for $15.00 each.

- A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $3.00 per ticket sold.

- Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $20.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.

On the expense side, there are also three components:

- A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $7.00 per ticket sold.

- The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $23,000 plus 13% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue.

- The organizers will pay the pavilion $80,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.).

Part C
6. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed portion of the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 8,500 tickets, how much operating fixed costs can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
