Semi-Salt Industries began its operation in 1975 and remains the only firm in the world that produces and sells commercial-grade polyglutamate. While virtually anyone with a degree in college chemistry could replicate the firm’s formula, due to the relatively high cost, Semi-Salt has decided not to apply for a patent. Despite the absence of patent protection, Semi-Salt has averaged accounting profits of 5.5 percent on investment since it began producing polyglutamate—a rate comparable to the average rate of interest that large banks paid on deposits over this period. Do you think Semi-Salt is earning monopoly profits? Why?
(a) Is there an arbitrage? Suppose an investment firm sells options. (b) What is the t=0 price (premium) of a call option on stock 2 with exercise price E=12? (c) What is the t=0 price (premium) of a put option on stock 1 with exercise price E=23? Suppose a start-up company wants to go public. The firm has total costs of $100,000 at date t=1 and sales of $120,000 in state 1, $230,000 in state 2, and $140,000 in state 3. The firm wants to issue 1,000 IPO shares. (A share is endowed with a cash flow right of 0.1% of the total profits of the firm.) (d) The underwriter suggests an IPO price of $40 per share. Will this IPO be successful, i.e. will there be a positive demand for the shares?
Deacon Corporation has just announced its intent to undertake a three-for-one stock split at the end of the next quarter. How will this announcement most likely affect trading activity for Deacon shares? O Investors will likely show increased interest in purchasing Deacon shares, thus leading to an increase in the current price per share. Investors will likely start dumping Deacon shares, thus leading to a decrease in the current price per share. Investors will likely be indifferent to the announcement, and Deacon's share price and trading volume will remain at their current levels. O Investors will likely begin to show a strong preference for purchasing odd lots of the firm's shares, thus leading to a decline in the price of round lots. eTextbook and Media

J&R Construction Company is an international conglomerate with a real estate division that owns the right to erect an office building on a parcel of land in downtown Sacramento over the next year. This building would cost $15 million to construct. Due to low demand for office space in the downtown area, such a building is worth approximately $13.5 million today. If demand increases, the building would be worth $16.8 million a year from today. If demand decreases, the same office building would be worth only $12 million in a year. The company can borrow and lend at the risk-free annual effective rate of 6 percent. A local competitor in the real estate business has recently offered $728,000 for the right to build an office building on the land. What is the value of the office building today? Use the two-state model to value the real option. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g.,…
Suppose that demand for a particular style of handmade Rwandan baskets is Qd = 1700 – 10P. Each basket maker has the following cost function: TCi = 1000 + 50 qi + .1 qi^2. Given this information, find the market outcomes under the various market structures below Multiplant monopoly. Suppose that a local entrepreneur decides to form a single monopoly by acquiring all the firms from part b and operating them as a single company (Each basket maker will still produce using the same cost function, but all the output will be marketed centrally). Now, how much output is produced at each plant (that is, by each basket maker), and how much by the firm as a whole? What is the monopoly price? What is the monopolistâ€™s profit or loss per plant? What is the firmâ€™s overall profit or loss for all 10 plants together? What is MCi and ATCi? What is MR?

Suppose n firms decide whether to collude or not. Collusion comes at a cost: if the anti-trust regulator catches a firm colluding, it is forced to shut down operations. The probability that the regulator catches you depends on the number of firms in the market, and is equal to 1/n. That is, for a duopoly, the probability of being caught colluding is 50%. What is the minimum discount factor that would result in collusion in a market made of n=2 firms? Answer: 0.75 0.8 0.5 0.9

A big data firm Statqo Analytics report shows that Gojek had experienced a 14 percent downturn during the pandemic. Therefore Gojek has a plan to provide special promotions for its customers. However, Gojek still needs to consider its competitor, Grab, before deciding. Based on Gojek’s board of directors calculation, if neither Gojek nor Grab offers discount pricing, a profit of US $2.5 million will be earned by Gojek, and US $2 million will be earned by Grab. However, if Gojek is the only one to offer a discount, it will earn US $5million, while Grab profits will fall to US$ 3 million. If Grab offers a discount and Gojek continues to charge the regular price, Grab profits will total US $3.5 million while Gojek monthly profits fall to US$1.5 million. Finally, if For both Gojek and Grab are to offer discount prices, thereby they will get a modest profit of US $4 million and US $2.5 million, respectively a. Develop a normal-form game of the situation by filling up the table bellow…
Suppose that the market for cherries in Shandong Province consists of two firms: Organicherry and Pesticherry. You are the owner of Organicherry, and have discovered a natural way to ward off aphids without resorting to pesticides. This advantage has allowed you to enjoy a relatively higher yield than Pesticherry. You use this advantage to be the first firm to choose its output level. The inverse demand function for a box of cherries is P = 1,125− 5Q (prices are in CN¥). Organicherry’s costs are CO(QO) = 40QO, and Pesticherry’s costs are CP(QP) = 80QP. If there were no official/legal issues in merging the two firm, would it be profitable to merge with Pesticherry? If so, how much would you offer to Pesticherry’s owners? [You may use the facts that, if R(Q)=aQ2 +bQ+c then MR(Q)=2aQ+b and that,ifC(Q)=cQ then MC(Q) = c.]
