Carl and Simon are two pumpkin growers who are the only sellers of pumpkins at the market. The demand function for pumpkins is Q = 16,400 – 400P, where Q is the total number of pumpkins that each the market and P is the price of pumpkins. Suppose further that each farmer has a constant marginal cost of $1 for each pumpkin produced. Assume that Carl can tell, by looking at Simon's fields, how many pumpkins Simon planted and how many Simon will harvest in the fall. (Suppose that Simon will sell every pumpkin that he produces.) Therefore, Carl sees how many pumpkins Simon is actually going to sell this year. Carl has this nformation before he makes his own decision about how many to plant. f Simon plants enough pumpkins to yield Qs this year, then Carl knows that the profit maximising amount to produce this year is QCarl = O 8,000 – Qs/2. O 16,400 – 400QS. O 16,400 – 800QS- O 4,000 – Qs/2.

- Carl and Simon are two pumpkin growers who are the only sellers of pumpkins at the market. The demand function for pumpkins is Q = 8,400 - 800P, where Q is the total number of pumpkins that reach the market and P is the price of pumpkins. Suppose further that each farmer has a constant marginal cost of $.50 for each pumpkin produced. If Carl believes that Simon is going to produce Qs pumpkins this year, then the reaction function tells us how many pumpkins Carl should produce in order to maximize his profits. Carl’s reaction function is QCarl = Group of answer choices a. 2,000 - Qs/2. b. 8,400 - 800Qs. c. 8,400 - 1,600Qs. d. 4,000 - Qs/2. e. 6,000 - Qs.Verizon can be viewed as a first mover. Now suppose both ATT and Verizon are considering whether and how to enter a potential market. Market demand is given by the inverse demand function p= 900−q1−q2, where p is the market price margin, q1 is the quantity sold by Verizon and q2 is the quantity sold by ATT. To enter the market, a retailer must build a store. Two types of stores can be built: Small and Large. The Small store requires an investment of $50,000, and it allows the retailer to sell as many as 100 units of the goods at zero marginal cost. Alternatively, they can pay $175,000 to construct a Large store that will allow it to sell any number of units at zero marginal cost. Assume Verizon enters and builds a Large store (i.e. chooses to build a Large store L1 at the first stage.) Calculate Verizon's profit for the following cases: a.) ATT chooses not to enter N at the second stage after viewing Verizon's choice. b.) ATT chooses to build a Small store S at the second stage…Verizon can be viewed as a first mover.

- Please sloved it carefully and with explaniation Carl and Simon are the only sellers of pumpkins at the market, where the total demand function for pumpkins is q =3 ,200−1,600p. The total number of pumpkins sold at the market is q = qC + qS, where qC is the number that Carl sells, qS is the number that Simon sells. The cost of producing pumpkins for each farmer is $.50 per pumpkin; the fixed costs are zero. .a. Find the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities. .b. Find the Bertrand equilibrium price and quantities. . .c. Suppose now that every spring the snow thaws off of Carl’s pumpkin field a week before it thaws off of Simon’s. Therefore, Carl can plant his pumpkins one week earlier than Simon while predicting Simon’s choice based on the previous year information. Simon observes Carl’s choice and chooses how much pumpkin to plant. Find the new equilibrium price and quantities. .d. Compare the quantities and prices in parts a, b, and c. Rank these outcomes according to Pareto…Two firms sells an identical product. The demand function for each firm is given: Q = 20 - P, where Q = q1 + q2 is the market demand and P is the price. The cost function for reach firm is given: TCi = 10 + 2qi for i = 1, 2. a) If these two firms collude and they want to maximize their combined profit, how much are the market equilibrium quantity and price? b) If these two firms decide their production simultaneously, how much does each firm produce? What is the market equilibrium price? c) If Firm 1 is a leader who decides the production level first and Firm 2 is a follower, how much does each firm produce? What is the market equilibrium price?Consider a market with two firms. Each firm is located at one end of a line with lenght one. There is a mass one of consumers. The location of each consumer is given by 0 < x < 1 which is uniformly distributed (with density 1). Firms have no cost of production and set price simultaneously. a) Derive the demand for each firm by identifying the location of the indifferent con-sumer for each price pair. Assume that all consumers know about both products. e) Consider again that consumers can only buy after receiving an ad. Suppose there is an avdertising company that offers the firms to coordinate the targeting of their ads. The company suggests to inform all consumers with a location between 0 and 0.4 the product of the firm at location 0 and to all consumers between 0.6 and 1 the product of the firm at location 1. Determine the optimal prices for both firms if they accept this offer. What are the resulting profits?
- Scenario 15-7 Black Box Cable TV is able to purchase an exclusive right to sell a premium movie channel (PMC) in its market area. Let's assume that Black Box Cable pays $150,000 a year for the exclusive marketing rights to PMC. Since Black Box has already installed cable to all of the homes in its market area, the marginal cost of delivering PMC to subscribers is zero. The manager of Black Box needs to know what price to charge for the PMC service to maximize her profit. Before setting price, she hires an economist to estimate demand for the PMC service. The economist discovers that there are two types of subscribers who value premium movie channels. First are the 4,000 die-hard TV viewers who will pay as much as $150 a year for the new PMC premium channel. Second, the PMC channel will appeal to 20,000 occasional TV viewers who will pay as much as $20 a year for a subscription to PMC. Refer to Scenario 15-7. What is the deadweight loss associated with the nondiscriminating pricing…Two firms, Incumbent & Entrant, can produce the same good. The market demand for the good is given by P = 180 – Q, where P is the market price and Q is the market quantity demanded. The firms must pay w = 45 per unit of output for labour and r = 45 per unit of output for capital (one unit of capital is used per unit of output), but Incumbent may choose capacity KI units of capital before Entrant decides whether to enter the market. Suppose firms each have fixed costs FI =600, FE=500. Incumbent chooses (as a Stackelberg leader) capacity KI equal to the monopoly profit- maximizing quantity. When you answer the following questions, show your work. a. Would Incumbent be able to prevent entry by choosing capacity KI equal to the monopoly profit-maximizing quantity? Explain. b. What is the Incumbent’s equilibrium choice of capacity KI in this Dixit game? c. Does the Incumbent’s choice of capacity KI in part (b) qualify as predatory conduct (here, limit output)? Explain.PLEASE LOOK AT IT Use the photo at exercise 14 to solve the problem below With the Firm Y response function Qy=600-1/2Qx and the Firm X response function Qx=600-1/2Qy Imagine that firm X chooses their quantity first, then firm Y observes the quantity of firm X and chooses their own quantity. What quantities will they end up choosing? Is there a first or second-mover advantage here? [You may assume that firm X can only choose quantities that are multiples of 200. This prevents you from having to deal with prices that are not on the schedule. just a little thinking about how equilibrium works in a sequential-move game. Oh, and just give me the quantity for each firm, don't worry about giving me a complete strategy for firm Y.]
