PART A Special Order for a Manufacturer

World Chemical Company recently received an order for a product that it does not normally produce. Since the company has spare production capacity, the management is considering accepting the special order. In analysing the decision, the graduate accountant is compiling the relevant costs of producing the special order. The production of the special order would require 7 000 kilograms of gelatine genotype (GG). The company does not use GG for its regular products, but the company has 7 000 kilograms of the chemical on hand from the days when it used GG regularly. GG could be sold to a chemical wholesaler for $15 000. The carrying amount of GG is $5 per kilogram. The company could buy the chemical for $6 per kilogram.

A monopolist charges different prices in the two markets where his demand functions are x1 = 21-0.1 p1 and x2 = 50 - 0.4 p2 , p1 and p2 being prices and 1 and x2

quantities demanded. His total cost function is TC = 10x + 2000, where x is total output. Find the prices that the monopolist should charge to maximize his profit. Also, verify

that higher price will be charged in the market having the lower price elasticity of demand by calculating the price elasticity of demand using the prices and the respective

demand functions.
