The citizens of Ruritania are prodigious consumers of marmite. They can buy it from one of two sellers: Omni Corp (OCP) or the Umbrella Corporation. The marmite sold by each is identical to the other but for color of the packaging. OCP sells its marmite in a red package while Umbrella sells its marmite in a green package. Competition between the two rms follows the Cournot model. The inverse demand curve for marmite is p = 50 - q; where q is the total amount of marmite produced by OCP and Umbrella.The production costs consists of two components. The rst is processing, while the second comes from the price of the main ingredient. OCP has a constant marginal cost of processing of $2 a unit while Umbrella has a constant marginal processing cost of $4 a unit. The main ingredient of marmite is Soylent green which is sold by a monopolist, Soylent Corp. Soylent Corp enjoys a constant marginal cost of production for Soylent Green of $0 a unit. It requires 1 unit of Soylent…
10Two firms produce differentiated products. The demand for each firm’s product is as follows:  Demand for Firm 1: q1 = 20 – 2p1 + p2  Demand for Firm 2: q2 = 20 – 2p2 + p1 Both firms have the same cost function: c(q) = 5q. Firms compete by simultaneously and independently choosing their prices and then supplying enough to meet the demand they receive. Please compute the Nash equilibrium prices for these firms.
Two firms produce a homogeneous good and compete in price. Prices can only take integer values. The demand curve is Q = 6 p, where p denotes the lower of the two prices. The lower - priced firm meets all the market demand. If the two firms post the same price p, each one gets half the market demand at that price, i. e., each gets (6p)/2. Production cost is zero.a) Show that the best response to your rival posting a price of 6 is to post the monopoly price of 3. What is the best response against a rival's price of 4? of 5?
Suppose Grady, Grace, and George own the 3 wrecker services in the small town of Collisionville. Each currently charges $350 for a standard towing job within town. Competition is heating up and each wants to grow their market share. Use this information to answer the following: What does the Law of Demand say that Grace can do to grow her market share? Suppose that the Kinked Demand Curve Theory describes this market well. How would considering this theory impact Grace’s decision on part 1?
Consider a "Betrand price competition model" between two profit maximizing widget producers say A and B. The marginal cost of producing a widget is 4 for each producer. Each widget producer has a capacity constraint to produce only 5 widgets. There are 8 identical individuals who demand 1 widget only, and individuals value each widget at 6. If the firms are maximizing profits, then which of the following statement is true: a) Firm A and Firm B will charge 4 b) Firm A and Firm B will charge 6 c) Firm A and Firm B will charge greater than or equal to 5 d) None of the options are correct. Explain clearly.
consider a Bertrand competition in which there are two firms producing a homogenous product. the market DD is D(p) = 200-P firms charge price in Indian rupees in multiples of 5. MC = 25 for both the firms. identify mash equilibrium for the game.
There is a Jexaco gas station right across the street from a Jalero station in Pennsylvania It is safe to assume that they compete locally for the same consumers and can observe the prices posted on each other's marquees. Demand for gasoline in this local market is Q = 80 − 6P, and both stations obtain gasoline from their supplier at $2.20 per gallon. On the day that both franchises opened for business, each owner was observed changing the price of gas advertised on its marquee more than 10 times; the owner of Jexaco lowered its price to slightly undercut Jalero's price, and the owner of Jalero lowered its price to beat Jexaco's. Since then, prices appear to have stabilized. Which of the oligopoly models is most suitable for explaining this behavior by these firms? Under current conditions, how many gallons of gasoline are sold in the market, and at what price? Would your answer differ if Jalero had service attendants available to fill consumers' tanks but Jexaco was only a…
Two firms commercialize two products that they both compete for. Each firm currently has 50 % of the market share. As the two products have been recently improved, both firms are planning to launch an advertising campaign. If neither firm advertises, their market share remains the same. If one of them launches a more powerful advertising campaign, the other loses a proportional percentage of its customers. Market research indicates that it is feasible to reach 50 % of potential customers by TV, 30 % through the press and 20 % on the radio. a. Develop the payoff matrix b. Indicate the most appropriate advertising strategy for both firms c. Determine the game value
This is a Microeconomics problem. I need help for part (d). Two firms A and B operating in the same market must choose between a collude price and a cheat price. Answer the following questions in order. (a) Does Firm A have a dominant strategy? Explain your answer. (b) Does Firm B have a dominant strategy? Explain your answer. (c) Is there an equilibrium solution to the above game? (d) Is this equilibrium solution to the game the most "ideal" outcome for the players? Explain clearly why or why not.
Quantify the competitive advantage in the following situation:A and B are two providers of music downloads. Firm A has spent £500,000 on marketing expenses and has acquired 200,000 customers; firm B has spent £1,200,000 on marketing and has acquired 400,000 customers. Provider A charges a price of £1.00 for each song, and has to pay royalties of £0.30 per song to music publishing companies. Provider B charges a price of £1.10 for each song, and has to pay royalties of £0.20 per song to music publishing companies. Streaming service A expects to sell 1,000,000 songs in total to their customers (over their lifetime as customers). Streaming service B expects to sell 1,600,000 songs in total to their customers (over their lifetime as customers). What is the total profit of each provider, A and B? Which of the two providers has a competitive advantage? How large is it, and what are its sources?
There are two sellers who compete by choosing quantity (Cournot). The inverse demand is P = 120 − Q. Each firm’s cost is 30Q. There are no fixed costs. In this market, firms decide how much to produce, and then the price is determined by the market (think of fishing boats, for example). Suppose that Firm 2 produces 30. Then the inverse demand facing Firm 1 is P = 120 − 30 − Q1 = 90 − Q1. This implies that Firm 1’s marginal revenue is 90 −2Q1. How much will Firm 1 produce to maximize its profits? Suppose that Firm 1 produces 30. Then the inverse demand facing Firm 2 is P = 120 − 30 − Q2 = 90 − Q2. This implies that Firm 2’s marginal revenue is 90 −2Q2. How much will Firm 2 produce to maximize its profits? If both firms produce 30, what are both firms’ profits? Suppose the buyers in this market proposed that the firms compete in a price game rather than a quantity game. For example, they might suggest that sellers compete in a price auction before production takes place. The winner…
In a Cournot model, firms Go and Stop compete by producing good X. Demand is X = 50 - 0.5P, where P is price. The two firms have zero cost. If firm Go believes that firm Stop will produce 20 units, then firm Go's optimal reaction is produce _____ units Please do it fast ASAP .... Fast
