In a market that produces hotdogs operates in the long-run, and that each firm and potential entrant has a LRAC AC=10Q²-5Q +20 and a LRMC MC = 30Q³ - 10Q +20, where Q is thousands of units per year. The demand for hotdogs is given as D(P) = 39,000 -2,000P. (a) Solve for the market clearing condition.
True/False 1. In a principal-agent relationship between owner and manager with hidden e§ort, the owner can design a wage scheme that insures the optimal Örst best e§ort by the manager regardless of the risk aversion of the manager. Justify your answer. 2. Consider a monopoly that faces an inverse demand curve and has a linear cost function. The monopoly would be indi§erent when maximizing proÖts between either choosing quantities or choosing prices. 3. A multiproduct Örm that as monopoly power over several products sets lower prices than separate Örms (each controlling a single product) when the products are substitutes or when there are economies of scope. 4. In the dominant Örm model (‡ la Hotelling) an increase in the marginal cost of the dominant Örm (with constant marginal costs) implies that proÖts necessarily decrease. 5.

Signaling. There are two firms, A and B. There are two time periods, 1 and2. There is one commodity, that can be produced by both firms, at linear cost. So,if firm i has marginal cost i, then the cost of producing q units of the commodity is ciq. The inverse demand for the commodity, at any given moment, is 100 − 4Q,where Q is the aggregate supply at that moment.In period 1, firm A is alone in the market. Firm A’s marginal cost is determinedby Nature, either it is 10 or it is 2, each with probability 1/2. A knows it’s cost.Firm A produces some quantity in period 1 and firm B observes this. Betweenperiods 1 and 2, firm B decides to enter the market or not. After making thisdecision, B is told firm A’s cost. It is too late at this point for B to change itsaction.In period 2, if B is in the market, then A and B compete on quantity.(1) In words, what are the steps to solving this problem?(2) There are two possible quantity-competition games that happen in this game.Solve them both.(3) Now…
You are the manager of a firm that sells a “commodity” in a market that resembles perfect competition, and your cost function is C(Q) = 2Q + 3Q2. Unfortunately, due to production lags, you must make your output decision prior to knowing for certain the price that will prevail in the market. You believe that there is a 70 percent chance the market price will be $200 and a 30 percent chance it will be $600.a. Calculate the expected market price.$ b. What ouptut should you produce in order to maximize expected profits?unitsc. What are your expected profits?$
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 equilibrium
A price-taking firm in a competitive industry of a good that is continuously divisible (like sand) has a total cost function TC(Q) = 3.5Q^2 + 100Q + 500. The market price for the good is p = $240. a: Carefully write out this firm’s profit maximization problem, using the particulars of thisproblem. b: Give the marginal condition (equation) that characterizes the solution to this problem. Solvethis condition for the firm’s optimal quantity Q*. c: Calculate the firm’s maximized profit. d: On a graph with quantity on the horizontal axis, neatly plot the marginal revenue curve andmarginal cost curve. Show Q* on your graph. e: Label areas on your graph using a, b, c, etc. and indicate the areas that correspond to totalrevenue and variable cost.
If demand function is given by P = 40 - 2Q then what is the procedure to get marginal revnue ?
You are considering entry into a market in which there is currently only one producer (incumbent). If you enter, the incumbent can take one of two strategies, price low or price high. If he prices high, then you expect a $60K profit per year. If he prices low, then you expect a $20K loss per year. You should enter if Group of answer choices you believe demand is inelastic. you believe demand is elastic. you belive the probability of low price is less than 75%. you believe the probability of low price is less than 25%. . the chance is at least 50/50.
Q)Firm A and B are Cournot competitors, who produce good x. Both firms have zero cost and demand is X = 215 – P, where P is market clearing price. If firm produces 90 units, then what is the optimal amount of output for firm A to produce. solve our if you know correct and clearsolution.
a) Given the marginal cost of a firm is MC = 8q^2 +10q +12 and MR = 50- q. Given that total cost TC = 3350 when q=10. derive expressions for both total cost and total revenue. b) given the function f(x) = (x+4)^2 + (y-2)^2 (i)find the critical points (ii)using the second derivative test, classify the critical points.
Glyde Air Fresheners is the dominant firm in the solid room aromatizer industry, which has a total market demand given by Q = 80 - 2P. Glyde has competition from a fringe of four small firms that produce where their individual marginal cost equals the market price. The fringe firms each have a total cost given by: TCi = 10Qi + 2Qi2. If Glyde’s total costs are given by TCG = 100 + 6QG a) what price should Glyde establish for air fresheners? b) what is Glyde’s maximum profit?
