- Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip used in a number of different brands of personal computers. Assume that total demand for the chips is fixed and that each firm charges the same price for the chips. Each firm’s market share and profits are a function of the magnitude of the promotional campaign used to promote its version of the chip. Also assume that only two strategies are available to each firm: a limited promotional campaign (budget) and an extensive promotional campaign (budget). If the two firms engage in a limited promotional campaign, each firm will earn a quarterly profit of $14 million. If the two firms undertake an extensive promotional campaign, each firm will earn a quarterly profit of $11 million. With this strategy combination, market share and total sales will be the same as for a limited promotional campaign, but promotional costs will be higher and hence profits will be lower.…The figure below shows the market conditions facing two firms, Brooks, Inc., and Spring, Inc., in the domestic market for large utility pumps. Each firm has constant long-run costs, so that MC0 = AC0. As competitors in a duopoly, there are a number of models to determine output and prices. Assume that the Bertrand duopoly model applies, so that they both set price equal to their marginal cost. Initial output in this market will be 16,000 per year (this is split between the two firms), at a price of $300. (a) At the initial equilibrium, what is total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus)?

Assuming that River Company operates as a monopolist and that its costs equal MC0 = AC0, what is: (b) The price? (c) The output? (d) Total profit?

(d) Total profit?Three oligopolistic firms ("1", "2" and "3") conduct quantity competition in a certain market. The interactions between them take place as follows: firm 1 defines its production quantity, which is immediately observed by firms 2 and 3; then, firm 2 makes its decision on how much it will produce, and only after observing the decisions of firms 1 and 2 does firm 3 finally make its respective choice. Furthermore, the total costs of firms 1, 2 and 3 correspond respectively to c₁(q₁) = 10q₁, c₂(q₂) = 8q₂ and c₃(q₃) = 2q₃, and the firms face a (inverse) demand given by p(Q) = 110 - Q (where Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃). Based on this information, determine what will be the total amount produced by the firms in the (single) ENPS for that game. (Note: the correct answer is an integer.)
- What are examples of a monopolistically competitive firm, oligopoly, and monopoly in your local area? In your example, please relate to the market characteristics of each of the market structures?Q1) Which one of the following statements about Cournot oligopoly model with N firms is incorrect? 1)The result with unspecifed N firms can be applied to N=1. 2)If N>1 and there exists a unique Nash equilibrium, then the market price cannot depend on N. 3)If the model is symmetric and there exists a unique Nash equilibrium and N approaches infinity, then the market price approaches to the marginal cost, i.e., the perfectly competitive price. 4)The result with unspecified N firms can be applied to N approaching infinity. Q2) Which of the following statements about the classic Cournot duopoly model is incorrect? 1)The products of the two firms are homogeneous. 2)It is a static game with complete information. 3)The two firms decide on their prices and let their quantities be dictated demand conditions. 4)There exist examples that have unique Nash equilibrium points.Consider an industry that consists of 4 firms, all competing over the same market, given by the following demand equation: P=80-3Q All firms have the same Total Cost Function, given by: TC₁=10q,+2q Suppose the firms decide to collude and voluntarily restrict output and raise price, in order to increase profits. a) What price will be charged by the members of the cartel? Assume the head of the cartel is fair and distributes output q, equally among the 4 firms (since they have identical costs). b)What is the output of each individual firm? c) What is each individual firm's profit? We know that there is a built-in incentive for cartel members to cheat on the cartel. If, as a result, the cartel breaks down: d) What price will be charged in the market? e) Assuming each firm captures an equal share of the market, what now is each firm's output, q? f) What now is individual firm profit? g) Illustrate your answer
- Consider an oligopolistic industry with N competing firms. Suppose that these firms have no fixed costs and that they all have the same marginal costs. Each firm must choose what quantity to produce independently of each other, and all firms must choose at the same time. If we decrease the number of firms in this industry (to, for example N−1), the market price Group of answer choices A. increases B. decreases C. remains unchanged D. becomes nil E. none of the aboveA market is initially monopolized by a firm that produces the profit-maximizing quantity QM and charges the corresponding price PM on the demand curve. Seeking to end the firm’s monopoly reign of terror, the government initiates an antitrust case and eventually, through intrepid and relentless lawyering, forces a settlement in which the firm will be broken up into a duopoly (two firms competing in the market). Assume that the duopoly market outcome is closer to, but not quite at, the competitive market equilibrium. Clearly label the monopoly and duopoly outcomes on a supply and demand graph. Clearly state how the settlement affects the equilibrium price and quantity in the market. Also, clearly tabulate ΔCS, ΔPS, and ΔSS using appropriately labeled points on the graph. Is the settlement an actual Pareto improvement over the monopoly result? Is it a potential Pareto improvement? Explain. Label the efficiency gain on the graph. llustrate your answer with a graph and final stepConsider an oligopolistic industry with N competing firms.
