Study problem question
Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM) is having a Labor Day sale for their goods in the Houston. They operate in a monopolistic competition market. NFM hires an economic consultant to estimate the price for their Book Shelves and how many to order. The consultant estimates the demand function as follows:
P = 925 – 6 Q
Where P = Price of Book Shelves and Q = number of Book Shelves sold per month
The consultant further estimates the Total Cubic Cost function as
TC = 25,000 + 25 Q – 6 Q2 + 1/3Q3
Given these equations,
(a) Determine the price and output of Book Shelves which NFM should sell which will maximize profits in the short-run
(b) How much NFM will earn in profits at this price and output rate?
(c) Suppose there is a rise in the rent of NFM stores rise by 10%. Calculate the impact upon the firm’s price, output and profits. Provide an explanation to your answers.
