- Exercise 6.6. Consider a duopoly in which companies compete according to Cournot's model. The inverse market demand curve is: P(Q)=100-Q , where Q=Q1+Q2 and the average and marginal costs of firms are constant and equal to 40 Calculate profits would each company make? How much would company 1 be willing to invest to reduce its CM from 40 to 25, assuming company 2 does not support it? Graphically show and comment on all results.16-1. Two equal sized newspaper have an overlap in circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspaper). Advertisers are willing to pay $10 to advertise in one newspaper but only $19 to advertise in both , because they’re are unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscribers. What’s the likely bargaining negotiation outcome if the advertisers bargain by telling each newspaper that they’re going to reach an agreement with the other newspaper so the gains to reaching agreement are only $9? Suppose the two newspaper merge. What is the likely post merger bargaining outcome?The soft drink industry is dominated by TCCC and PSC. The market is worth $6 billion. Each firm can decide whether to advertise, but advertising costs $1 billion to any firm undertaking it. Moreover, advertising will create only negligible new demand as the market is already saturated. So, for the purpose of this question, assume that the market remains at $6 billion regardless of advertising. If one firm advertises and the other does not, then the former captures the whole market. If both firms advertise, then TCCC captures 60% of the market and PSC captures 40% of the market, but the advertising must be paid for. If neither firm advertises, then the market is again split 60:40, with 60% going to TCCC and 40% to PSC. 1. Draw the payoff matrix for this game where each player’s payoff is equal to the value of market it captures less the cost of advertisement. 2. Do any of the firms have dominant strategies? If so, what are they? Is there a dominant strategy equilibrium? If so,…
- 16-1 Newspaper Bargaining Two equal-sized newspapers have an overlap in circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspapers). Advertisers are willing to pay $10 to advertise in one newspaper but only $19 to advertise in both, because they’re unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscribers. What’s the likely bargaining negotiation outcome if the advertisers bargain by telling each newspaper that they’re going to reach an agreement with the other newspaper, so the gains to reaching agreement are only $9? Suppose the two newspapers merge. What is the likely post-merger bargaining outcome? these would be most advantageous from a bargaining position?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. Hi does this refer to the monopoly market structure diagrams? 2. Allsmart’s demand curve is given by Q=10-P for its dishwashers. The marginal and average cost is $3 per dishwasher produced. Complete the following table. Photo below concerns…Exercise 3: merger example Algoma Steel Inc. and Stelco Steel Inc. Merger? Suppose you work at the Bureau and your task is to assess a proposed merger between Algoma Steel Inc. and Stelco Steel Inc. For simplicity, these are the only two firms in Canada. The cost of this merger is that the two firms will become one joint firm, or the duopolists become the monopolist. This is likely to limit consumer choices and the equilibrium price is likely to rise. However, this merger is likely to increase economies of scale, or production cost will fall. From existing studies you know the following information, and P is the price per ton of steel and Q is the number of tons of steel. Demand for steel: P = 1,800 - Q Marginal revenue: MR = 1,800 - 2Q Supply of steel: MC = ATC = 600, identical across the two firms. Case #1: Before Merger - Cournot duopoly - the government does not intervene The total surplus (TS), defined as the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus, is equal to…
- 14. Company A and Company B are each telecommunications manufacturers. Both companies manufacture the same products, and they make their decisions based on the other's actions. Both companies are considering opening retail outlets to increase their profits. The payoff matrix shows the profits of the companies in millions of dollars if they choose to open retail outlets. The government imposes a new $5 million tax to open retail outlets. What is the expected outcome of the new payoff matrix, given the tax? The Nash equilibrium is for Company A to not open retail outlets and for Company B to open retail outlets. The Nash equilibrium is for Company A to open retail outlets and for Company B to not open retail outlets. The Nash equilibrium is for both Company A and Company B to open retail outlets. The Nash equilibrium is for both Company A and Company B to not open retail outlets. There is no Nash equilibrium after the change given in the scenario.…Suppose the European Union (EU) is investigating a proposed merger between two of largest distillers of premium Scotch liquor. Based on estimates from the EU’s economists, these two firms have a combined market share of about two-thirds of all sales in the relevant market. The only remaining firm controls the other one-third of the market. Economists have estimated that the wholesale market price elasticity of demand for Scotch is −1.3 and the unit cost to produce and distribute the Scotch is 16.20 per liter. Using the available information, provide quantitative estimates of the pre- and post-merger prices for Scotch in the wholesale market. In your opinion, is the EU’s concern about the merger justified? Why or Why not?Industry A is composed of three firms. One has an 80% market share, and the other two have a 10% share each. The Herfindahl index for this industry is:
- [The soft drink industry is dominated by two cola firms- DEW and HEW. The market is worth $8 billion. Each firm can decide whether to advertise or not, but advertising costs $2 billion to any firm undertaking it. Moreover, advertising will create only negligible new demand as the market is already saturated. So, for the purpose of this question, assume that the market remains at $8 billion regardless of advertising. If one firm advertises and the other does not, then the former captures the whole market. If both firms advertise, then DEW captures 60% of the market and HEW captures 40% of the market, but the advertising must be paid for. If neither firm advertises, then the market is again split 60:40, with 60% going to DEW and 40% to HEW.] [Draw the payoff matrix for this game where each player’s payoff is equal to the value of market it captures less the cost of advertisement.

(please explain how you calculate the payoff matrix)Question 13.13. If monopolistically competitive firms in an industry are making an economic profit, then new firms will enter the industry and the product demand facing existing firms will increase. become less elastic. not be affected. decrease. Question 14.14. In an oligopolistic market there are many buyers. few buyers. few sellers. many sellers. Question 15.15. A low concentration ratio means that there is a low probability of entering the industry. there is a low probability of success in the industry. each firm accounts for a small market share of the industry. each firm accounts for a large market share of the industry. Question 16.16. A major reason that firms form a cartel is to reduce the elasticity of demand for the product. enlarge the market share for each producer. minimize the costs of production. maximize joint profits.
