Consider a market with just one business and high obstacles to entry, where P = 100 - 2Q and MR = 100 - 4Q describe the demand curve. Assume that overall expenses are zero (hence, marginal cost is equal to 0). What would the going rate be in this marketplace? P = 20 P = 30 P = 50 P = 40

- Refer to Scenario below to answer the following questions. The government of Stratospheria is currently inviting investors to bid for the exclusive right to provide cable television service to its residents. The market demand for this service is P=55-0.01Q, where Q is the number of households that would subscribe to the cable service and P is the monthly fee charged to the subscribers. The associated marginal revenue curve is MR=55-0.02Q. Fun Cable Company is interested in bidding for the right to provide cable service in Stratospheria. It has a constant average and marginal cost of RM5 for providing cable service to each household. Question:1)What is the most Fun Cable Company would bid for the franchise?(please show the steps of calculation)A travel agency identifies two customer segments for a cruise ship. The demand curve for customers that are less price-sensitive is D1=1000-2P1. The demand curve for customers that are more price-sensitive is D2=1000-3P2. The cost of maintaining each cabin is $50. If one single price is charged, what is the price to maximize the profit? What is the profit? If the differential prices are charged to each customer segment, what is the price for each customer segment respectively? What is the total profit? What is the profit increase by charging different prices to each customer segment compared with one single price?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?
- Suppose a monopoly firm has an annual demand function of Qd = 20,000 - 250P, annual variable costs of VC = 16Q + 0.002Q2 and marginal cost of MC = 16 + 0.004Q, where Q is the annual quantity of output. In addition, the firm has an avoidable fixed cost of $25,000 per year. If this firm maximizes its profit, what is the value of the consumer surplus in the market?You are a self-employed accountant who owns Budget Tax Prep, which specializes in tax preparation services. There are many competitors in your industry who offer a similar service, but quality of service varies among competitors. Entry into this industry is relatively easy. Your company's daily demand curve and cost functions, including your own opportunity costs, are currently (with Q being number of tax returns processed per day): Demand: P(Q) = 100 - 4Q Total Fixed Costs: TFC = 60 Total Variable Costs: TVC(Q) = (8.5)Q2 Marginal Costs: MC(Q) = 17Q A. Find your company's profit maximizing output and price using any method you wish. B. Calculate the level of total profit or loss per period that would accrue to the firm under the output and price determined in (a). C. What might happen to your profits over time, given the characteristics of your market described above.In terms of reputation for quality, imagine that we have a firm that can produce a good at any quality level in the interval [0, 1], where 0 means a good of low quality, and 1 means a good of exceptionally high quality. Demand for the good depends on consumer perceptions of the good's quality. If consumers anticipate that the good is of quality q, their demand is given by · P. = 4 + 6q - X, where X is the quantity demanded. Costs of manufacture depend on the quality level of the good being produced; it costs a constant marginal 2 + 6q2 to produce a unit of quality level q. Consider the repeated setting described in section 14.5: In each period, the firm chooses a quality level and price. Consumers see the price but not (until after they have bought) the quality level. But consumers do know the level of qualities the firm has produced previously. Assume the firm discounts profits with a discount factor a = .9. For which levels of quality q is there a viable reputational…
- 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. Question 1: What is the price that maximizes profit for PNW Airlines if all the demand comes from a single segment? What is the demand if PNW sets price to be the value found in Question 1? How much profit does PNW Airlines make?A company can successfully charge different prices in country A and B. Marginal cost is $10. Demands in country A and B are Q=20.5-P and Q=5-P respectively. What are the profit- maximising prices in two countries? What quantity do they sell in two countries? The company now added country C, and its demand is Q=20.5-P. What maximising prices do they charge in three countries? What quantity do they charge in three countries?(Dominant Firm with Fringe Competition) The structure of competition in the market for product A follows the dominant firm model with competitive fringes, where there is one company that is a dominant player and there are many fringes companies that compete competitively. The total demand for product A in this market is expressed by P = 1200 - Q, while the supply function of the competitive fringe is expressed by Sf: qf = P - 240. If the dominant firm is known to have marginal costs as follows: MCd = 240 + 0.25qd b. What is the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity for the dominant firm? Show your answer mathematically and graphically. c. In that equilibrium, what is the supply of competitive fringes? How many total products are there on the market? What is the market share of the dominant company and the fringe company? Show your answer mathematically and graphically Thank you Bartleby!
- (Dominant Firm with Fringe Competition) The structure of competition in the market for product A follows the dominant firm model with competitive fringes, where there is one company that is a dominant player and there are many fringes companies that compete competitively.

At what price level will the fringe company supply the entire market? Thank you bartleby!(Dominant Firm with Fringe Competition) The structure of competition in the market for product A follows the dominant firm model with competitive fringes, where there is one company that is a dominant player and there are many fringes companies that compete competitively.

If the dominant firm is known to have marginal costs as follows: MCd = 240 + 0.25qd d. If the dominant company wants to limit competition from fringes, what can the dominant company do? What is the name of this strategy?A private golf club has two types of members. Serious golfers each have the demand curve Q = 250 - 10P, where Q represents the number of rounds played per year and P is the per- round price. Casual golfers have the demand curve Q = 100 - 10P. The club has 5 serious and 60 casual golfing members and faces a constant marginal cost and average cost of $ 5 per round played by either type of member. The club cannot distinguish high demanders from low demanders but is considering deploying a 2-part tariff pricing system? Specifically, the club is considering a per-unit price of $5 and a per-unit price of $6. What should they do and what are the profits they will earn? Be very clear in how you arrive at your answer.
