cassette is $2. For the first market, demand is given by
Q1 = 20 - 5P1
The demand equation for the second market is
Q2 = 20 – 2P2i)
If the firm uses third-degree price discrimination, what will be the profit-maximizing
price and quantity in each market? How much economic profit will the firm earn?
ii) If the firm charges the same price in both markets, what will be the profit-maximizing
price and total quantity? How much economic profit will the firm earn?
Inc. is

P.R. Swensen, president of the company, determines that knowing only this equation is
inadequate for decision-making. You have been directed to do the following:
i) Determine the level of fixed cost (if any) and equation for average total cost, average
variable cost, and average fixed cost.ii) Determine the rate of output that results in minimum average variable cost.
iii) If fixed costs increase to $500, what output rate results in minimum average variable
cost?
Ketchup is a complement (as well as a condiment) for hot dogs. If the price of hot dogs rises, what happens to the market for ketchup? For tomatoes? For tomato juice? For orange juice?

Apart from the mismatches of supply and demand in the labour market, what other factors
are largely contributing to inequality levels within the country
Suppose the demand function for a firm's product is given by ௗ 𝑙𝑛𝑄௫ = 3 − 0.5 ln 𝑃௫ − 2.5 ln 𝑃௬ + ln 𝑀 + 2 ln 𝐴 Where Px is the price of the product = GHS 10 Py is the price of another product produced by the firm = GHS4 M is the income of consumers = GHS 20,000 and A is the expenditure on advertising for the product = GHS 250 a) Determine the own price elasticity of demand, and state whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic. b) Determine the cross-price elasticity of demand between good X and Y, and state whether the two goods are substitutes or complements. c) Determine the income elasticity of demand, and state whether the good X is a normal or an inferior good. d) Determine the own advertising elasticity of demand.
Consider a firm with the following production function: 𝑄 ≡ 𝐹(𝐿,𝐾) = 𝐿 .ହ𝐾 .ହ . The price of labour (L) is GHS 4 per unit while the price of capital (K) is 5 per unit. For parts (a) – (e) assume that this firm has 25 units of capital it cannot change in the short-run a) If the price of output is GHS 10 per unit, how many units of labour should the firm employ to maximize profit? b) At this quantity of labour (from part (a)), what quantity of output will the firm produce and how much profit will the firm make? c) Derive the firm’s short-run total cost function. d) Derive the firm’s marginal and average cost functions. e) What is the total cost of producing 100 units of output? For the rest of this question, assume that the firm is now free to choose any level of capital and labour. f) How many units of capital and labour will it choose to minimize the cost of producing 100 units of output?
