If a firm is the leader (assume the firm has 100% market share) in supplying a product to the market at $3 per unit where the consumer is willing to pay $4.35 per unit, what is the profit (surplus) to the firm (assuming no additional cost to the firm) if the consumer purchases 23 units.
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…
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…

Suppose both cooperatives are price-takers; with PG=12 and PF =10 being the market prices of gold and fish respectively. The cost of producing G units of gold is cg(G,x)=G2+(x−4)2; where x is the quantity of mercury effluent discharged into the dam. The cost of producing F units of fish is cF(F,x)= F2 + xF ; where cF(F,x) is an increasing function of x. a) Determine the profit maximizing level of gold output, profit and level of mercury effluent discharged into the dam. Comment and explain your results. b) What is the fishing cooperative’s profit maximizing level of fish output and profit? Explain your results. c) Suppose the two cooperatives were merged to operate as a single firm; determine the socially optimal level of gold and fish output, mercury effluent and profit. Explain, comment on and contrast your results with those obtained in a and b above. d) Suppose property rights to the dam water are created and assigned to the fishing cooperative. Does this induce efficiency and…
