16-5. Your pharmaceutical firm is seeking to open up new international markets by partnering with various distributors. The different distribution within a country are stronger with different market segments (hospitals, retail pharmacies, etc.) but also have substantial overlap. A. In Egypt, you calculate that the annual value created by one distributor is $60 millions per year, but would be $80 millions if two distributors carried your product line. How much of the value can you expect to capture? B. Argentina also has two distributors with values similar to those in Egypt, but both are run by the government. How does this affect the amount you could capture? C. In Argentina a, if you do not reach an agreement with the government distributors, you can set up a less efficient Internet-based distribution system that would generate $20 million in value to you. How does tis affect the amount you could capture?
1.Microsoft is one of the leading software companies. Prior to 2000, Microsoft’s share of the market for personal computer operating systems stood above 80 per cent. However, since the twenty-first century Microsoft’s market share has steadily declined to 40 per cent. This is due to the rise in competing software producers such as Apple macOS (10%), Google's Android OS (35%), Linux Operating System (35%), and Apple iOS (5%). The market share of each company is provided in parentheses. Google and Linux have decided that it would be in their best interest to work together to serve the market. This is not common knowledge to the person’s outside of the companies. i. Draw how equilibrium price and quantity are determined in this industry.

P2: The government is considering whether to build barriers along a river that would reduce the risk of flooding for the citizens living by the river. Three citizens: Alan, Brad, and Carlos, will vote yes or no on the project. If the majority votes yes, the barriers will be built, but if the majority votes no the project will not go ahead. Suppose the total cost of the project is $1,500, so if the project is undertaken everyone will end up paying $500. The following sets of numbers represent the three citizens' private willingness to pay (how much utility they would get from the barrier, expressed in terms of dollars), in three different scenarios. a) Alan: $400, Brad: $600, Carlos:

15. Given that the U.S. government mandates the use of ethanol as a partial substitute for gasoline (10% by volume), and that ethanol manufactured in the U.S. is made from corn; how will the supply of ethanol, the demand for ethanol, as well as its equilibrium price and quantity, be affected by the following event: Development of a new highly efficient method of storing electrical energy (e.g. a light weight, yet structurally strong, composite material that can serve as the car body and store electricity as well).will have multiple answers f) Equilibrium Quantity will increase. a) To the extent the amount of ethanol additive in gasoline is determined by government fiat, neither demand for not supply of ethanol will be affected unless the government changes its requirements. b) Demand will increase. c) Demand will decrease. h) Equilibrium Price will increase. i) Equilibrium Price will decrease. g) Equilibrium Quantity…
19.3 Suppose the oil industry in Utopia is perfectly competitive and that all firms draw oil from a single (and practically inex- haustible) pool. Assume that each competitor believes that it can sell all the oil it can produce at a stable world price of $10 per barrel and that the cost of operating a well for 1 year is $1,000. Total output per year (Q) of the oil field is a function of the number of wells (n) operating in the field. In particular, Q = 500n - n^2,and the amount of oil produced by each well (q) is given by q= Q/n= 500-n Describe the equilibrium output and the equilibrium number of wells in this perfectly competitive case. Is there a divergence between private and social marginal cost in the industry? Suppose now that the government nationalizes the oil field. How many oil wells should it operate? What will total output be? What will the output per well be? As an alternative to nationalization, the Utopian govern- ment is considering an annual license fee per well…
A monopolist earns $70 million annually and will maintain that level of profit indefinitely, provided that no other firm enters the market. However, if another firm enters the market, the monopolist will earn $70 million in the current period and $32 million annually thereafter. The opportunity cost of funds is 12 percent, and profits in each period are realized at the beginning of each period.a. What is the present value of the monopolist’s current and future earnings if entry occurs? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer.
