C2) Company A is the only supplier of glass in Big Apple City used for tall buildings’ exteriors. Its marginal cost of production is cA=1, and it has no other production costs. The demand for such glass in Big Apple city is QD=2-P. Company B in Jersey City produces the same glass and is considering whether to expand to Big Apple city. If it enters, it needs to get a permit to allow it to be a supplier in the Big-Apple city at a cost of L=0.5, which does not vary with quantity of output, and its marginal cost of production is cB=0.5. If it expands to the Big-Apple city, companies A and B both supply to the market, and the market price P satisfies QA+QB=2-P, where QA is company A’s production level and QB is company B’s.
a) If company B expands to the Big-Apple city, what is the resulting price in a Nash equilibrium?
b) Company B hires a consulting company to advise whether it should expand to the Big-Apple city. If you’re running the consulting company, what is your advice? Explain your advice. What is the largest value of the permit cost L such that you would advise company B to enter the market?

- A local defense contractor is considering the production of fireworks as a way to reduce dependence on the Military. The variable cost per unit is $ 40D. The fixed cost that can be allocated to the production of fireworks is negligible. The price charge per unit will be determined by the equation p= 180-5(D), where D represent demand in unit 1) What is the optimal number of units the defense contractor should produce in order to maximize profit per week? 2) What is the profit if the optimal number of unit produced?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.he Pear Computer Company just developed a totally revolutionary new personal computer. Pear estimates that it will take competitors at least two years to produce equivalent products. The demand function for the computer is estimated to be P=2,500−500Q�=2,500−500� where Q� is millions of computers. The marginal (and average variable) cost of producing the computer is $900. Assuming Pear acts as a monopolist in its market, the profit-maximizing price and output levels are per computer and million computers, respectively. The total contribution to profits and fixed costs at this output level is million. Pear Computer is considering an alternative pricing strategy of price skimming. It plans to set the following schedule of prices over the coming two years: Complete the following table by calculating the contribution to profit and overhead for each of the 10 time periods and prices. Time Period Price Quantity Sold Total Contribution ($) (Million)…
- Apparel manufacturer Nike produces high-end and low-end versions of their running shirts. They estimate that the demands for their products are given by: High-end shirts: P = 130 - 2QH , andLow-end shirts: P = 80 - QL, where Q is measured in 1000 shirts, "H" denotes High-end and "L" denotes Low-end Both types of shirts are produced on the same production line in the same facility, so the marginal cost of producing and selling both types of shirts is constant at $30. Supposing that (i) the two demands are independent and (ii) Nike can produce and market the shirts such that the high- and low-end markets are successfully segmented, what are the profit-maximizing prices Nike would charge for each version?Answer Options:a) by the midpoint rule, PH = $65 and Pl = $40b) PH = $80 and PL = $55c) Nike will set price equal to marginal cost for both versionsd) PH = $130 and PL = $80Based on the best available econometric estimates, the market elasticity of demand for your firm’s product is –2. The marginal cost of producing the product is constant at $150, while average total cost at current production levels is $225.Determine your optimal per unit price if:Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.a. You are a monopolist.$ b. You compete against one other firm in a Cournot oligopoly.$ c. You compete against 19 other firms in a Cournot oligopoly.$Pre-mixed concrete is an important input for the construction industry. Concrete cannot be stored or transported over long distances as it begins to set after only a few hours. For this reason, only the three local firms—Aggregate Inc., Big Industries and ConCorp—are in a position to compete in the market. Moreover, the capital and regulatory requirements for constructing a new concrete plant are substantial, creating an effective barrier to entry. Pre-mixed concrete is regarded as a homogeneous good by the construction industry. Inverse demand in the market has been estimated to be, P = 520 − Q , 50 where P represents the price of a cubic metre of concrete in dollars, and Q is the total number of cubic metres of concrete supplied into the market on a given day. At present the three firms appear have identical production costs, with each firm facing fixed costs of $400,000 per day and a marginal cost of $160 per cubic metre. Big Industries and ConCorp estimate that the proposed merger…
