- Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is $10 and P1 is$11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve asthe incumbent tries to break into the market by selling4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what thenew firm’s average cost of producing output would be.If the incumbent continues to produce 6,000 units, howmuch output would the two firms supply to the market?Estimate what would happen to the market price as aresult of the supply of both the incumbent firm andthe new entrant. Approximately how much profit wouldeach firm earn?COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibriumAcme Drug Co. has a patent on the drug A-rene, the annual demand for which can be described by the demand curve: Q = 4500 - 300P. Production of the drug requires an annual fixed cost of $3,000 and a per unit marginal cost of $5. (i) How many units of the drug will Acme produce each year, and what price will it charge, in order to maximize its profits? What will be its annual profits? (ii) Now suppose that the Better Drug Co. has discovered B-rene, a new drug which seems to be identical to A-rene in all its effects. If Better enters the market, competition with Acme will conform to a Cournot duopoly. Better’s costs are identical to those of Acme. What would be the equilibrium outcome of this duopoly? Specifically, how much would each firm produce and what would be the price? How much profit would each firm make? Would Better find it profitable to enter the market? (iii) Would it be in the interests of society as a whole for Better Drug to enter into production? Identify the gainers and…
- Firms J and K produce compact-disc players and compete againstone another. Each firm can develop either an economy player (E)or a deluxe player (D). According to the best available marketresearch, the firms’ resulting profits are given by the accompanyingpayoff table.a.

The production functions are: Cereal: C = 28WC – 1.5WC2 Bread: B = 66WB – 2WB2 Constraint: WC + WB = 7,058 Profit is $1.00 per box of cereal and $0.50 per pack of wheat bread. There are 7,058 units of raw wheat available. How much wheat should go to the cereal (WC)? Enter as a value. ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.12.A fim has marginal cost of 2q and no fixed cost.

The Bertrand model of price competition suggests that, under a given set of conditions, firms make zero economic profits even if there are only two firms. However, there are many instances of industries with a small number of competitors where firms appear to earn more than zero economic profits. Give an example of an industry dominated by a couple of firms where profits are significant. Explain why the predictions of the Bertrand model are not borne out. (Cabral, 20170224) Cabral, L. B.

- Suppose you are the economic adviser ofa company producing three brands of mobile pnones;Nokia 10, Samsung X and iPhone 7. Suppose further that, your company currently sells 120units of iPhone Z at e800 per unit, 150 units of Samsung X at e800 per unit and 200 units ofNokia 10 at e100 per unit, but in a bid to maximize profit, the company's managing directorproposes an increase in price of Samsung X from e800 to e1000 per unit for which quantitydemanded is anticipated to fall from 150 to 100 units; iPhone Z from e800 to e 1200 per unitfor which quantity demanded is anticipated to fall from 120 to 100 units; and Nokia 10 from100 to 200 per unit for which quantity demanded is expected to fall from 200 to 100 unitsUsing the mid-polint formula. compute the price elasticity of demand for each brand.From your answer in i, what is the type and economic interpretatiom of each brand'sii.value of elasticity.V5. You are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spider Technologies. The two firms' products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Qi) = 2Qi, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P =290 - 3Q. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions, and the price you fetch for the product depends on the total amount produced by each firm. However, by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $500, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes production plans. (Assume Taurus Technologies is the leader in this scenario.) What are your profits if you do not make investment? What are your profits if you do make investment? Instructions: Do not include the investment of $500 as part of your profit calculation. Should you invest the $500? no or yesonly typed answer Consider the following information: Q = 22 L + 57 K PL=52, PK=3, P=28 and C=4763 What is the profit maximizing level of output?
