Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Exton and Shill are 2 firms that can control emissions at the following marginal costs: MC1 = 400q1, MC2 = 200q2, where q1 and q2 are the amount of emissions reduced by Exton and Shill, respectively. Assume that with no control at all, each firm would be emitting 25 units of emissions. Estimate the cost-effective allocation of emissions control needed if a total reduction of 30 units of emissions is necessary.The Able Manufacturing Company and Better Bettors, Inc. are rival firms in the production of a calculator used by horse racing fans for handicapping (determining betting strategies). Each firm has a fixed cost of $100 and a MC = $10 in producing calculators. The demand for the industry’s product is: Q = 900 – 5P, where P is the market price and Q = Q1 + Q2. If each firm must choose how many calculators to produce and sell without knowing of its rival’s production decision, what will be the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities produced? Calculate the profit for each firm.Two firms compete in a homogeneous product market where the inverse demand function is P = 20 -5Q (quantity is measured in millions). Firm 1 has been in business for one year, while Firm 2 just recently entered the market. Each firm has a legal obligation to pay one year’s rent of $1.4 million regardless of its production decision. Firm 1’s marginal cost is $2, and Firm 2’s marginal cost is $10. The current market price is $15 and was set optimally last year when Firm 1 was the only firm in the market. At present, each firm has a 50 percent share of the market. b. Determine the current profits of the two firms. c. What would each firm’s current profits be if Firm 1 reduced its price to $10 while Firm 2 continued to charge $15?
- Two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2, compete by simultaneously choosing prices. Both firms sell an identical product for which each of 100 consumers has a maximum willingness to pay of $40. Each consumer will buy at most 1 unit, and will buy it from whichever firm charges the lowest price. If both firms set the same price, they share the market equally. Costs are given by c; (q) = 16q;. Because of government regulation, firms can only choose prices which are integer numbers, and they cannot price above $40. Answer the following: a) If Firm 1 chooses pi = 32, Firm 2's best response is to set what price? b) If Firm 2 chooses the price determined in the previous question, Firm 1's best response is to choose what price? c) If Firm 1 chooses pi = 9, Firm 2's best response is a range of prices. What is the lowest price in this range? d) Now suppose both firms are capacity-constrained: Firm 1 can produce at most 42 units, and Firm 2 can produce at most 44 units. If firms set different prices,…Consider a market demand function P=100-0.01Q. There are only two firms in the market and each firm's total cost function is 40q to produce identical products. Suppose Firm 1 is the first mover (leader) and Firm 2 is the follower. What is the optimal level of quantity for Firm 2 in this Stackelberg model? 1000 1500 2000 25000 3000A profit maximizing firm produces a single product that it sells in two distinct markets 1 & 2. The demand and cost functions for the firm are given below. Q1 = 21- 0.10P Q2 = 50 - 0.40P TC = 2000 + 10Q where Q = Q1 + Q2Find the equilibrium quantities transacted and the prices charged in each market.
- Consider the following market demand function: Q= 20-2P, where P is the market price. Suppose there are two firms- A,B in the market and they have the same cost function: the per unit cost of producing output is 4. The firms compete by choosing quantities. Find the reaction functions for both the firms if they are maximizing profits. What is the profit maximizing output for each firm and corresponding market price? If there was only one firm in the market how would your answer change?Two firms compete in a homogeneous product market where the inverse demand function is P = 20 − 5Q (quantity is measured in millions). Firm 1 has been in business for one year, while firm 2 just recently entered the market. Each firm has a legal obligation to pay one year’s rent of $2 million regardless of its production decision. Firm 1’s marginal cost is $2 and firm 2’s marginal cost is $10. The current market price is $15 and was set optimally last year when firm 1 was the only firm in the market. At present, each firm has a 50 percent share of the market. a. Why do you think firm 1’s marginal cost is lower than firm 2’s marginal cost? b. Determine the current profits of the two firms. c. What would happen to each firm’s current profits if firm 1 reduced its price to $10 while firm 2 continued to charge $15? d. Suppose that, by cutting its price to $10, firm 1 is able to drive firm 2 completely out of the market. After firm 2 exits the market, does firm 1 have an incentive to raise…Consider PNW Airlines, an airline focused on transporting cargo. Their fleet is composed of four cargo airplanes. Total cargo capacity of the fleet is 100,000 cubic feet. The monthly cost of maintaining and operating the fleet is $50,000. Market research indicated that the demand curve for cargo capacity is d=300,000-25,000p where d is the demand across all segments and p is the transport price per cubic foot. What is the price that maximizes profit for PNW Airlines if all the demand comes from a single segment?
- The market for a standard-sized cardboard container consists of two firms: CompositeBox and Fiberboard. As the manager of CompositeBox, you enjoy a patented technology that permits your company to produce boxes faster and at a lower cost than Fiberboard. You use this advantage to be the first to choose its profit-maximizing output level in the market. The inverse demand function for boxes is P = 1,200 − 6Q, CompositeBox’s costs are CC(QC) = 60QC, and Fiberboard’s costs are CF(QF) = 120QF. Ignoring antitrust considerations, would it be profitable for your firm to merge with Fiberboard? If not, explain why not; if so, put together an offer that would permit you to profitably complete the mergerTwo firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2, compete by simultaneously choosing prices. Both firms sell an identical product for which each of 100 consumers has a maximum willingness to pay of $40. Each consumer will buy at most 1 unit, and will buy it from whichever firm charges the lowest price. If both firms set the same price, they share the market equally. Costs are given by C; (qi) = 16q¡ . Because of government regulation, firms can only choose prices which are integer numbers, and they cannot price above $40. Could you help me with these questions? a) If Firm 1 chooses Pi price? = 32, Firm 2's best response is to set what b) If Firm 2 chooses the price determined in the previous question, Firm 1's best response is to choose what price? c) If Firm 1 chooses p₁ = 9, Firm 2's best response is a range of prices. What is the lowest price in this range?Three firms sell identical products in a market with inverse demand given by P(Q) = 590 - 4Q, where Q = q1 + q2 + q3, i.e., the sum of all quantities produced by all three firms. Each firm has a constant marginal cost of production MC = 18 and no fixed cost. Firm 1 chooses q1 first. Firms 2 and 3 simultaneously choose q2 and q3 after observing q1. Calculate the subgame perfect equilibrium profit of firm 2.
