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…
6) You have been assigned to create a new TV game show, and you have an interesting idea that you call, “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.” The basics are: 1) two contestants; 2) the show begins with each contestant being given $1 million (!), and then 3) they begin playing a game that can increase or decrease that $1 million. You worry that the initial outlay of $2 million will stun your producers, so you decide to prepare them with a simpler version of your game that you call: “I WANT $3.” There are four steps in this simpler game: I. There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). II. Each player is given $3 at the start of the game. III. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose whether they want to add $0, $1, $2 or $3 to their initial stake of $3. Doing so reduces their opponent’s award by $0, $2, $4, or $6, respectively. IV. Each player knows that their payoff at the end of the game is based on…

QUESTION 23 In the 1950s, Walt Disney began to plan the development of a theme park that would eventually become Disneyland. Disney hired an economist to help determine whether the park would be a financial success. This economist surveyed managers of existing amusement parks for advice. Many of these managers A. recommended that the theme park be located in California because population in the state would increase greatly in the future. Disney followed this advice.

Question:You work as an analyst for the electronics manufacturing firm Hypra!!!, based in Japan. Hypra!!! started as a textile manufacturing firm in the 1950s but from the 2000s it switched to produce the product called x, a high-tech gadget, extremely popular in Japan, but less so in other countries (yet). There are two main groups of consumers who are interested in x. First, teenagers use it for gaming. Second, middle-aged managers are also keen to use it as a personal assistant, not unlike Siri on Apple devices. Presently, four firms are producing x. Hypra!!! has a 38% market share. The x is sold both by specialist stores and the large hypermarkets across Japan. The most important component of the x is called chip+++, which requires a very specific technology, and, therefore, is only produced by two Japanese suppliers, working strongly together with the x producers. A new version of the x tends to be introduced every second year. Hypra!!! has always been the most innovative of the…
