- Suppose that Raleigh and Dawes are the only sellers of bicycles in the UK. The inverse market demand function for bicycles is P(Y)=200-2Y. Both firms have the same total cost function: TC(Y)=12Y and the same marginal cost: MC(Y)=12. Suppose this market is a Stackelberg oligopoly, and Raleigh is the first mover. Write down a formula for the reaction function of Dawes. Calculate the equilibrium quantity that each firm produces and the equilibrium price in the market. Give typing answer with explanation and conclusionusiness EconomicsQ&A LibraryTwo firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in the industry that manufacture this product. Their marginal cost (MC) is equal to their average cost (AC) and it is constant at MC = AC = X, for both firms. Market demand is given as Q = Y – 2P (where P = price and Q = quantity). Select any value for X between [21 – 69] and any value for Y between [501 – 999]. Using this information, calculate the Industry Price, Industry Output, Industry Profit, Consumer Surplus and Deadweight Loss under each of the following models: (a) Cournot Model Two firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in…In a market there are five firms, all have a total cost curve equal to CT = 2q. The market demand is Q = 500 - 5P. How much profit would each firm get if they collude and share the market equitably? What is the profit to each firm if they agree to collude, but one firm misleads the others charging a slightly lower price? What is the profit if all firms do not collude and compete via price?
- Allsmart’s demand curve is given by Q=10-P for its dishwashers. The marginaland average cost is $3 per dishwasher produced. Complete the following table.Q P TR MR AC VC FC TC1 0 202 5 203 12 204 18 205 28 206 36 207 44 208 48 209 50 2010 52 201. Two firms (A and B) play a competition game (i.e. Cournot) in which they can choose any Qi from 0 to ¥. The firms have the same cost functions C(Qi) = 10Qi + 0.5Qi2, and thus MCi = 10 + Qi. They face a market demand curve of P = 220 – (QA + QB). a. Assume firm A chooses quantity first. Frim B observes this choice and then chooses its own quantity. What is Frim B's profit as a function of QA and QB? b. Firm B has MRB = 220 – 2QB – QA. What is firm B’s best response to an arbitrary QA selected by firm A? c. Given that firm A expects firm B’s best response, what is firm A’s profit as a function of QA? (Hint: the only unknown variable in the profit function should be QA) d. Firm A has MRA = 150 – 4QA/3. What are the equilibrium QA and QB selected in this game? e. What is the equilibrium price, and how much profit does each firm collect?The table below shows the weekly marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) for Buddies, a purely competitive firm that produces novelty ear buds.

- Aruna owns Pottery Plus, a small firm that produces terra cotta pots for sale in the Edmonton area. The graph above represents Aruna’s situation. Pottery Plus has two rival firms. Aruna is convinced that she dare not raise her price because her rivals will not raise their prices, and she dare not decrease her price because her rivals will simply match her lower price. a. What price does Aruna charge? $ b. What quantity does she produce? units produced c. If her marginal costs are MC1 is she producing the optimal output? d. If her marginal costs increase to MC2 will she reduce her output?A6 In Changlun, Kedah, there are two bakers, Abu and Bakar. Their bread taste the same and nobody can tell the difference. Abu has constant marginal costs of RM1 per loaf of bread. Bakar has constant marginal costs of RM2 per loaf. Fixed costs are zero for both of them. The inverse demand function for bread in Changlun is p(q) = 6 – 0.01(qA + qB), where q is the total number of loaves sold per day. Find the reaction function for Abu and Bakar. What is the Cournot Nash equilibrium number of loaves of bread for each baker?DuopolyMarket for mechanical pencils can be described by the following demand schedule:Price | Number of pencils demanded$6 | 80$5 | 200$4 | 320$3 | 440$2 | 560$1 | 680$0 | 800The fixed cost is $340, while the variable cost is $0.50.d) If there were two firms on the market and they agreed to cooperate, how much would eachfirm need to produce? Follow the procedure outlined in the lecture and show that the otherfirm would prefer to deviate from the agreement.e) When the firms deviate from the agreement, there is a new optimal level of output.

- There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job.

Let's assume that Black Box Cable pays $150,000 a year for the exclusive marketing rights to PMC. Since Black Box has already installed cable to all of the homes in its market area, the marginal cost of delivering PMC to subscribers is zero. The manager of Black Box needs to know what price to charge for the PMC service to maximize her profit. Before setting price, she hires an economist to estimate demand for the PMC service. The economist discovers that there are two types of subscribers who value premium movie channels. First are the 4,000 die-hard TV viewers who will pay as much as $150 a year for the new PMC premium channel. Second, the PMC channel will appeal to 20,000 occasional TV viewers who will pay as much as $20 a year for a subscription to PMC. Refer to Scenario 15-7. What is the deadweight loss associated with the nondiscriminating pricing…
