MICROECONOMICS The Pandemic hurt business at restaurants. A Faneuil Hall landmark closed: Durgin-Park — which has been in operation since 1827, under the Durgin-Park name since 1877 — will cease to exist. The Union Oyster House, located on the Freedom Trail, near Faneuil Hall, enjoys the unique distinction of being America's oldest restaurant. This Boston fixture, housed in a building dating back to Pre-Revolutionary days, started serving food in 1826 and has continued ever since although business has been much less than in past years.

Based on Thomas (1971). A toy company produces toys at two plants and sells them in three regions. Each plant can produce up to 4500 units. Each toy sells for $30, and the cost of producing and shipping a toy from a given plant to a region is given in the same file. The company can advertise locally and nationally. Each $1 spent on a local ad raises sales in a region by 0.3 units, whereas each $1 spent advertising nationally increases sales in each region by 0.2 units. a. Determine how the company can maximize its profit. b. If sales stimulated by advertising exhibits diminishing returns, how would you change your model?
FOREIGN OBJECTS — AND INSECTS During 2017 inspections of the Mars Inc. canning facility in Columbus, Ohio, where Pedigree, Iams and Cesar pet foods are manufactured, along with other brands, Mars told inspectors it was hearing consumer complaints about foreign objects — including insects — in the pet food.But the company insisted it was working to fully implement corrective actions.Pest control records at the facility noted damaged cans covered in flies, and dozens of employees had complained about cockroaches in the area, especially at night. Different employees described seeing “multiple roaches,” an “invasion of roaches,” “roaches everywhere” and even “millions of roaches” — which we hope was an exaggeration.Inspectors from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) themselves observed 2 live roaches. The FDA stressed the seriousness of the pest problem, and the company “promised correction.” Around 2015, we started hearing reports of so-called “wires” or plastic…
7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for titanium. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for titanium. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would…
Student question Time Left : 01:59:43 Ch. 4. Agglomeration Economies and Equilibrium vs. Efficient Cluster Size. The graph shows the relationship between the number of firms in a cluster (on the x-axis), against the profit per firm (on the y-axis). The curve shows the profit per firm as cluster size varies. Point A shows a single isolated firm, which earns a profit of 7₁ T2 T3 π1 1 b Profit per firm Profit: isolated firm 6 Number of firms in a cluster 14 a. Identify the point on the curve that represents the Pareto efficient outcome. What is the Pareto efficient number of firms and profit per firm? b. Identify the point on the curve that represents the Nash equilibrium outcome. What is the equilibrium number of firms and the equilibrium profit per firm? c. In one to two sentences, explain why your answers to parts a & b are different (or why they are the same, if that's the case). For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).
Question Google is considering an advertising campaign that is expected to increase the sales of its Pixel phone by 20%. Suppose that currently Google sells 1,000,000 units at $500 per unit and the variable cost per unit is $300. If the cost of the advertising campaign is $50 million, will Google find it acceptable? Question An attractive feature of new cell phones that was introduce d in recent years is that you can switch carriers easily with the same device. How does this feature affect demand for wireless phone services? What are the likely effects on the demand that a particular US carrier is facing? Are there any elasticities that were likely to be affected?
