In gomorrah, new jersey, there is only one newspaper, the daily calumny. the demand for the paper depends on the price and the amount of scandal reported. the demand function is q = 15s 1/2p −3 , where q is the number of issues sold per day, s is the number of column inches of scandal reported in the paper, and p is the price. scandals are not a scarce commodity in gomorrah. however, it takes resources to write, edit, and print stories of scandal. the cost of reporting s units of scandal is $10s. these costs are independent of the number of papers sold. in addition it costs money to print and deliver the paper. these cost $.10 per copy and the cost per unit is independent of the amount of scandal reported in the paper. therefore the total cost of printing q copies of the paper with s column inches of scandal is $10a + .10q.
(a) calculate the price elasticity of demand for the daily does the price elasticity depend on the amount of scandal reported? is the price elasticity constant over all prices? ) remember that . to maximize profits, the daily calumny will set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost. solve for the profit‑maximizing price for the calumny to charge per newspaper. when the newspaper charges this price, the difference between the price and the marginal cost ofprinting and delivering each newspaper is ) if the daily calumny charges the profit‑maximizing price and prints 100 column inches of scandal, how many copies would it sell? (round to the nearest integer.) write a general expression for the number of copies sold as a function of s: q(s) = ) assuming that the paper charges the profit‑maximizing price, write an expression for profits as a function of q and s. using the solution for q(s) that you found in the last section, substitute q(s) for q to write an expression for profits as a function of s ) if the daily calumny charges its profit‑maximizing price, and prints the profit‑maximizing amount of scandal, how many column inches of scandal should it print? how many copies are sold and what is the amount of profit for the daily calumny if it maximizes its profits?

Shrieves casting company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by sidney johnson, a recently graduated mba. the production line would be set up in unused space in the main plant. the machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000, another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the macrs 3-year class. the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use. the new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. the sales price and cost are both expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. the firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 10%. define “incremental cash flow.” (1) should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow?
