1a) Let p indicate the price of the product and q quantities demanded by the market. Which equation better describes the relationship between p and d?

 

a) q = 600p – 2p2

 

b) q = 700 – 2p – 100

 

c) q = (700 - p) / 2

 

d) q = 2 – 700p

 

1b. If Company A is a monopolist supplying product X, which quantity p maximizes Company A's profit?

 

a) 38

 

b) 75

 

c) 19

 

d) 150

 

1c. Consider a von Stackelberg Duopoly. If a second company, Company B, also supplies product X and enters the market to compete with Company A. What is the expected price of the product?

 

a) $174

 

b) $400

 

c) $250

 

d) $93

 

1d. Consider a von Stackelberg Duopoly. If a third company, Company C, also supplies product X and enters the market to compete with Company A and Company B. How much profit can Company C receive?

 

a) $5,750

 

b) $2,875
