. Lewis & Clark has announced that it will license two firms to serve food to students on campus. Campus demand for food is P = 100 – Q. Assume food production on campus, once a fixed investment of $Fo is made, has zero marginal cost. However, once Fo is invested firms are unable to change their chosen level of output. If L&C sells a license that allows a firm to move first (i.e., choose their Q first), and another that allows the other firm to chose second, how much will each license sell for? How much could L&C sell a license to a single monopoly supplier of food?

- Habib Bank Limited estimates equation of demand of its product as: Q = 55 – 0.5P - (where P = price and Q = Quantity of output), and its total cost of production as TC = 20 + Q + 0.2Q2 Where TC = total cost and Q = Quantity of output) Write the equations of the firm’s costs, as a function of Q: Average Total Cost ATC? Average Variable Cost AVC? Average Fixed Cost AFC.? Marginal Cost MC? The output level that will maximize total profit and the amount of revenue and profit that Habib Bank would receive at optimal level of production.? The output level that minimizes average total cost.? please answer all questionsThe information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $45 per unit. When the firm produces and sells 100 units of output, its average total cost is $24.5.When the firm produces and sells 101 units of output, its average total cost is $24.65. Suppose the firm is currently producing and selling 100 units of output. Should the firm increase its output to 101 units? a. Yes, because the marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost. b. Yes, because the marginal revenue exceeds the average total cost c. No, because the marginal cost exceeds the marginal revenue. d. No, because the average total cost exceeds the marginal revenue.A new production technology for making vitamins is invented by a college professor who decides not to patent it. Thus, it is available for anybody to copy and put into use. The TC per bottle for production up to 100,000 bottles per day is given in the following table a. What is ATC for each level of output listed in the table? b. Suppose that for each 25,000-bottle-per-day increase in production above 100,000 bottles per day, TC increases by $5,000 (so that, for instance, 125,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $85,000 and 150,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $90,000). Is this a decreasingcost industry? c. Suppose that the price of a bottle of vitamins is $1.33 and that at that price the total quantity demanded by consumers is 75,000,000 bottles. How many firms will there be in this industry? d. Suppose that, instead, the market quantity demanded at a price of $1.33 is only 75,000. How many firms do you expect there to be in this industry? e. Review your…
- Decide whether the following are true, false, or uncertain and thoroughly explain your reasoning. (a) (Review) If AC > MC at the firm’s chosen output level, then the firm is producing on the upward sloping part of its AC curve. (b) When an unregulated market creates positive externalities it tends to produce too little and when it creates negative externalities tends to produce too much. (c) Charging a toll on an uncongested highway increases total surplus because this creates revenue to pay for building and maintaining the highway. (d) Charging a toll on a congested bridge increases total surplus because it reduces the number of drivers and thereby reduces congestion. (e) If a public good cannot be paid for through user fees, then it should not be provided. (f) The costs of National Parks should be covered by charging admission fees, because we shouldn’t have National Parks if the people who use them are not willing to pay enough to cover these costs. (g) You have been offered an…Question Google is considering an advertising campaign that is expected to increase the sales of its Pixel phone by 20%. Suppose that currently Google sells 1,000,000 units at $500 per unit and the variable cost per unit is $300. If the cost of the advertising campaign is $50 million, will Google find it acceptable? Question An attractive feature of new cell phones that was introduce d in recent years is that you can switch carriers easily with the same device. How does this feature affect demand for wireless phone services? What are the likely effects on the demand that a particular US carrier is facing? Are there any elasticities that were likely to be affected?Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C=400+2q2, where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q;the fixed cost, FC, is $400). If the price of a watch is $100, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? You should produce______watches.(Enter your response as an integer.) What will the profit level be? Profit will be $___________. (Enteryour response rounded to two decimal places.) At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output? In the short run, the firm will produce if price is greater than $__________ per watch. (Enter your response as an integer.
