Question

An upstream firm (U) sells an input to a downstream firm (D) which resells it to consumers.

The marginal cost of U is 4. Each unit is sold by U to D at a transfer price r. Requirement

final is p = 12 - y.

a) Suppose U and D are separate firms. Find r, y and p.

b) Suppose U and D are one integrated firm. Find p and y.

c) Suppose the firms are not integrated, but firm U uses a two-part tariff:

it requires payment of r for each unit sold to D; in addition, it requires payment

lump sum of T. Find the value of r that U will choose. Find the minimum and maximum values

by T.

d) Suppose the firms are not integrated, but U imposes a resale price control

on firm D. Find the value of r that U will choose, and the constraint that it will impose on the price

final p
