Imagine that the flat-screen TV market is made up of one large firm that leads the industry and sets its own price first, and another firm that follows the leader when deciding its own profit-maximizing strategy. The leader has a cost function of eL (qL) = 5q1, and the follower has a cost function of cp(qr) = where Q = qL + qF. Total market demand for flat-screen TVs is given by the function Q = 950.00 – 2p. Calculate the following values: Leading firm's production: q1, = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Follower firm's production: qF = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Equilibrium price: p= S (Round to two decimals if necessary.)

JointJuice produces a prepackaged joint support supplement for relief of joint pain with 180 tablets per bottle and operates in a perfectly competitive market. Basically, all the firms in this competitive market have technologies (production and cost conditions) that are the same as JointJuice’s. Suppose JointJuice’s total cost function is given by the following where q is JointJuice’s quantity of packages per day: C(q) = 250 + 6q + 0.1q^2 The market demand function for the output in this market is given by: Q = 1848 - 2P If there are 20 identical firms in this industry, find the market equilibrium price for the prepackaged supplements. Calculate JointJuice’s optimal output level and profits given the market price for the product. If JointJuice is typical of the firms in this industry calculate the firm’s long-run equilibrium output, price, and profit level. Suppose the situation changes.

Alchem (L) is the price leader in the polyglue market. All 10 other manufacturers (follower [F] firms) sell polyglue at the same price as Alchem. Alchem allows the other firms to sell as much as they wish at the established price and supplies the remainder of the demand itself. Total demand for polyglue is given by the following function (Qt= QL+Qf): P= 10,000-4Qt Alchem’s marginal cost function for manufacturing and selling polyglue is MCL= 5,000+6QL and the aggreagate marginal cost function for the other manufactorers of polyglue is EMCf= 2,000+4Qf.
