Market demand is given by P = 28 - ½ Q. There is a single incumbent firm with constant MC =
AC = 5, facing one possible entrant. That entrant must enter with an output no less than 4 units,
after which its MC = 6. If the incumbent wants to deter entry, what output should it choose and
maintain?
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Market demand is given by p= 12-Q. There are two firms; the incumbent firm (1) and the entrant firm (E). Incumbent moves first by choosing quantity q, from the interval [0.1]. The entrant observes q and decides whether or not to enter and how much to produce if he enters (qe). There is no fixed cost of entry. If the entrant decides to stay out, his profit is zero and the incumbent enjoys a monopoly position. Suppose that both incumbent and entrant have identical marginal costs equal to c= 8 a) What is the subgame perfect equilibrium of this game? What are the quantities produced by the incumbent and entrant? What are their profits? b) What is the minimum quantity that must be produced by the incumbent to deter entry (to make entry unprofitable)? In this game, will the incumbent ever try to deter entry by increasing quantity?Consider a duopoly with a leader (called L) and a follower (called F). The market demand is given as: P=500-0.25Q, where Q=QL+QF The total cost function for the leader is given as: TCL=0.03QL The total cost function for the follower is given as: TCF=0.1QF All variables are per day, per plant. What is the profit-maximizing quantity for the leader (per day, per plant)? (Note: Round your answer to two decimal pointsSuppose that the market demand curve of food delivery service in city A is given by P = 100 − Q, where P is the price and Q is the quantity. Currently there is only one firm. The incumbent’s cost function is given by TC = 40q, where q is the quantity provided by the incumbent. Suppose that there’s a potential entrant with cost function TC = 40qe + 100, where qe is the quantity provided by the entrant. The 100 is the sunk cost for developing the delivery system that is paid upon entering the market. a. If the entrant observes the incumbent providing qi units of service and expects this level to be maintained, what output will the entrant produce? b. At what price will the incumbent sell this output to keep the entrant out of the market?
- The Able Manufacturing Company and Better Bettors, Inc. are rival firms in the production of a calculator used by horse racing fans for handicapping (determining betting strategies). Each firm has a fixed cost of $100 and a MC = $10 in producing calculators. The demand for the industry’s product is: Q = 900 – 5P, where P is the market price and Q = Q1 + Q2. If each firm must choose how many calculators to produce and sell without knowing of its rival’s production decision, what will be the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities produced? Calculate the profit for each firm.The Incumbent operates in the market for good A. The Inverse demand function Is given by p= 110 - Q. Incumbent's total cost equals TC(q)=10q (a) Find the monopoly output and profit (b) A new firm with the same technology can enter the market by paying the setup cost F= 225. In this case, the firms will compete in the Stackelberg way: the Incumbent will set q1 and after that having observed q, the entrant will choose q2. Find the optimal output q1. (Hint: consider two cases: entry Istrategic entry deterrence.)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.
- Consider a dominant firm facing an inverse demand P = 100-Q, with marginal cost 18. The supply of competitive fringe is P = 10 + 4Q. a. Find the market shares of dominant firm and competitive fringeSuppose the market demand for ECO textbooks at the University is given by ?=1000−2?Q=1000−2P. The Marginal Cost of a textbook is $50. Suppose there are only two textbook publishers, both printing the exact same textbook. They compete in a Cournot manner. Suppose each firm produces ?=450q=450. Is this an equilibrium? Explain your reasoning, show all the steps of your working clearly. Keep your responses short and precise. Under 250 words is a good rule of thumb.Suppose a consumer’s demand function for gum produced by a firm with market power is given by P = 0.2 – 0.4Q and the marginal cost is zero. What price should the firm charge for a package containing five pieces of gum?
- Consider PNW Airlines, an airline focused on transporting cargo. Their fleet is composed of four cargo airplanes. Total cargo capacity of the fleet is 100,000 cubic feet. The monthly cost of maintaining and operating the fleet is $50,000. Market research indicated that the demand curve for cargo capacity is d=300,000-25,000p where d is the demand across all segments and p is the transport price per cubic foot. What is the price that maximizes profit for PNW Airlines if all the demand comes from a single segment?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.For the entry deterrence example we discussed today, [Market demand Q(p) = 100 p. the incumbent firm's marginal cost MC = 20, the entrant's marginal cost MC = 20] (A) The incumbent firm's strategy if F = 300 will be entry deterrence. (F is the Entrant's fixed entry cost.) (B) If F = 300 entry deterrence is socially optimal. * (A) is true; (B) is false (A) is false; (B) is true Both (A) and (B) are false Both (A) and (B) are true
