A new amusement park is about to open and features a number of attractions. It is expedcted that the park will attract 1,000 people per day Tastes of consumers are homogeneous, so it can be assumed that everyone will have the same demand function, and that each person will take x = 50 – 50p rides, where p is the price of a ride in Euro. The marginal cost of a ride is zero. If the owners decided to use a two-part tarif, how much would they charge for the admission to the park and how much for each ride? O (a) Admission fee: 6.25 Euro; price for a ride: 50 cents. O (b) Admission fee: 25 Euro; price for a ride: 0. O (c) Admission fee: 20 Euro; price for a ride: 0. O (d) Admission fee: 24 Euro; price for a ride: 50 cents.

- Suppose that a well-known scientific fiction writer finishes a new book. The writer’s publisherfinds the demand curve for this new book is given by Q = 4200 − 200P, where P is its price. It will cost $2000 to set the book in type. This setup cost is necessary before any copies can be printed. In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $8 per book for every book printed. Assume that the publisher wants to maximize the profit from this new book, and considers them-selves as a monopoly.(a) Write down the total revenue (T R(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q).(b) Write down the total cost (T C(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q).(c) Find the profit-maximizing quantity (Q∗).(d) Find the profit-maximizing price (P ∗).(e) What is the profit?

Assume that this seller incurs a cost of $4.00 perunit of papadum produced (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). If she intends to maximise profits, how many papadums would this seller supply to the market, and what price would she charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold. Hint: start at a price of $17 and calculate what profit would be. Then lower the price just enough to attract an additional buyer and calculate what the new profit would be. Repeat this until all four buyers are purchasing the good and then check which price yields the highest profit. Alternatively, you can calculate the marginal revenue from lowering the price to attract an additional buyer and compare it to marginal cost.A risk-neutral monopoly must set output before it knows the market price. There is a 40 percent chance the firm's demand curve will be P = 40- 2Q and a 60 percent chance it will be P = 80- 2Q. The marginal cost of the firm is MC = 4. The expected profit is....Multiple ChoiceO. $300.O. $450.O. $400O. $350.
- Consider a small town with two competing restaurants: Doug’s Diner and Betty’s Bistro. There is 1000profit to be made in the market. Each period, the restaurants simultaneously decide whether to offer high orlow quality food. In order to offer high quality food, each restaurant must hire an expert chef, which incursan additional cost of 100. The restaurants split the profit equally if they offer the same quality of food. Ifone restaurant offers high quality food while the other offers low quality food, the high quality restauranttakes four fifths of the profit and the low quality restaurant takes one fifth of the profit.(a) Draw up the normal form game matrix, showing the players, strategies, and payoffs.(b) Determine the Nash equilibrium of this game.(c) Explain how the restaurant owners could both be better off than in the Nash equilibrium if they wereable to cooperate. Is the town as a whole better off or worse off when the firms cooperate?

- Suppose that an incumbent can commit to producing a large quantity of outputbefore the potential entrant decides whether to enter. So, the incumbent Örst chooseswhether to produce a small quantity or a large quantity. The rival then decides whether toenter. If the incumbent commits to the small output level and if the rival does not enter,the rival makes $0 and the incumbent makes $900. If it does enter, the rival makes $125and the incumbent earns $450. If the incumbent commits to producing the large quantity,and the potential entrant stays out of the market, the potential entrant makes $0 and theincumbent makes $800. If the rival enters, the best the entrant can make is $0, the sameamount it would earn if it didnít enter, but the incumbent earns only $400. Show the gametree. What is the SPNE?Suppose the Carrow Road stadium has a capacity of 50,000 seats and is used for sevengames a year. Three are Premiership games, with a demand for tickets (expressed in thousands)given by D = 150 − 3p per game, where p is the ticket price. Three of the other games are EastAnglia friendly matches with demand D = 90 − 3p per game. Finally, one is a Champion’s Leaguegame with a demand D = 240 − 3p. The costs of operating the stadium are independent of thenumber of tickets sold.(a) Determine the optimal ticket price for each game, assuming the objective is profit maximization.(b) Given that the stadium is frequently full, the idea of expanding the stadium has arisen. Apreliminary study suggests that the cost of capacity expansion would be £100 per seat per year.Would you recommend that the football club goes ahead with the project of capacity expansion?A monopoly faces an inverse demand curve, p(y) = 100 − 2y, and has constant marginal costs of 20.
