COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Stackelberg ModelIn a given market good there are only 2 firms that satisfy the demand, and their respective total cost functions are: CTi = 400 and the demand that is estimated is P = 120 - 2QIf the exception variable of both firms is the quantity they will produce, such that the decisions to produce are made sequentially firm number 1 will be the leader who decides the quantity to produce and firm number 2 (follower) decides based on the production of firm number 1, we ask:(a) quantity produced by each firm and its equilibrium price in the market.(b) Profit of each company at equilibrium and (c) Graph your results
Continuing your analysis of the competitive US manufacturing industry from Question 1, withdemand of Qd = 500 – 8P and supply of Qs = 4P – 100, suppose a technological innovationcauses the supply curve to increase, shifting the curve down by $15 for every given quantity Q. Determine the new supply equation. Solve for equilibrium price P2 and quantity Q2. Depict the original supply S1, the new supply S2, and the original demand D1 on theusual P, Q diagram. Label all intercepts (including two intercepts for the demand curveand one intercept for the supply curve). Clearly indicate and label the new marketequilibrium. Graphically indicate the areas of Consumer Surplus (CS2) and Producer Surplus (PS2)that resulted from the new market equilibrium. Compute the values of Consumer Surplus (CS2) and Producer Surplus (PS2) associatedwith the new market equilibrium, clearly indicating the units that CS and PS aremeasured in. Who has benefited from technological innovation, based on the…
It costs $250 to produce an X-Box. We are trying todetermine the selling price for the X-Box. Prices between$200 and $400 are under consideration, with demand forprices of $200, $250, $350, and $400 given below. SupposeMSFT earns $10 in profit for each game that an X-Boxowner purchases. Determine the optimal price andassociated profit for the case in which an average X-Boxowner buys 10 games. Console Price ($) Demand200 2.00E06250 1.20E06350 6.00E05400 2.00E05Unit cost $250
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.

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?
2. The supply Qs = s(P, Pm) has the functional form of: Qs = -12 + 0.5P - 2Pm initially, the materials cost Pm_0 = 7. Find the optimal quantity to supply if the price is P=76 and P=80. At P=76, Q_0 = . At P=80, Q_0 = . 3. Now, the cost of materials changes to Pm_1 = 9. Find the optimal quantity to supply if the price is P=76 and P=80. At P=76, Q_1 = At P=80, Q_1 = Draw the second supply curve and show how supply shifted.
1. Mzanzi-Ndizvo (Pty) is a vaccine manufacturing company that has the following costs ofproduction. Cost of capital is R50 000, labour cost is R30 000, and the total cost the firm is willing to pay is R300,000. Identify the type of this production function and Illustrate it with a 2D graph. 2. If the demand and supply curve for cell phones is given by: D = 80 - 4P, S = 40 + 6P In a market with a price of P for smartphones, compute the number of phones that would be bought and sold at equilibrium.
Token price increases from $1.25 to $2.50: Ridership now declines to 25 % equivalent to 10 M less riders.......Assume costs (accounting) increase to $ 55 M and economic costs increase to $ 65 M; Supply increases by + 10%; * What is your revised "PED" & "PES"?; * What are your new profit & loss values based on evaluation of both accounting & economic costs ? Are you better or worse off ? * What could happen if your analysis was extended from one (1) month to six (6) months ? * What could happen if your market's (audience) average income increases or decreases by + / - 15 % given the change in the token cost from $1.25 to $2.50 ? * Would your "PED" and "PES" and profit / loss values change as well ?
Can you answer me as soon as possible , urgentttttt!!!!!!!!!!! Bodyguard Ltd. was established in Hong Kong in 2020. It produces surgical masks sold to retailers, like personal cares stores, in Hong Kong. With its unique Chinese pattern printed on the masks, it also sells good in North America and Canada since 2021. Bodyguard adopts standardized marketing strategy worldwide. Recently, Bodyguard would enter into a contract with a vendor in Vietnam to expand its production capacity. However, Bodyguard’s managers have heard reports that the vendor operates factories with sweatshop conditions, which is not acceptable in Hong Kong. Employment in sweatshops provides a source of income for women in Vietnam, who can earn more wages than in many other jobs, which bring them food, nutrition and education for their children. Sweatshop is a preferred working place of Vietnamese. (c) Explain the TWO approaches in handling ethical dilemma – relativism and normativism. What would be the ethical…
The Android phone market is highly competitive since there is a large number ofcompanies and potential entrants. For simplicity, assume each firm has an identical coststructure, and the cost does not change with new firms’ entry. Each firm’s long-run average costis minimized at 300 and the minimum average cost is $150 per unit. Total market demand isgiven byQ = 15,000 − 50P.a. What is the Android phone market’s long-run supply curve? b. What is the long-run equilibrium price (P∗) and total industry output (Q∗)? Howmany companies are competing in this market?c. The short-run total cost curve for each firm is given by STC = 0.5q^2 − 150q +20000, where q is the firm’s production quantity. Find the short-run marginal cost(SMC) for each firm. What is the market short-run supply curve?d. Suppose Android phone has become more popular and the market demandcurve shifts outward to Q = 20,000 − 50P. In the *short-run*, find the new equilibriumprice. What is the new equilibrium price in…
Demand and Supply equations of a particular market are as follows.Qd = 2100 – 7PQs = – 1200 + 5PWhere, Qd is the quantity demanded, Qs is the quantity supplied and P is the market price. By all means, this market is considered as a perfectly competitive market. The average cost information of a selected firm in this market is given below.AFC = 450/QAVC = (155Q + 2Q2)/Q a) Calculate the profit maximizing output level of the firm based on Marginal approach.b) Calculate the profit (in Rupees) at the profit maximizing output level.
