There are 10,000 people in the population, each of whom is willing to pay at most 10 for at most one unit of the good. Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 5. Each firm is allocated half the market. It costs a customer s to switch from one firm to the other. Customers know what prices are being charged. Law or custom restricts the firms to charging whole-dollar amounts (e.g., they can charge 6, but not 6.50). a. Suppose that s = 0. What are the Nash equilibria of this model? Why does discrete (whole-dollar) pricing result in more equilibria than continuous pricing? b. Suppose that s = 2. What is (are) the Nash equilibrium (equilibria) of this model? c. Suppose that s = 4. What is (are) the Nash equilibrium (equilibria) of this model? d. Comparing the expected profits in (b) to those in (c), what is the value of raising customers’ switching costs from 2 to 4?.a) Suppose a firm A produces a product q, but also pollution x that affects a second firm B. Firm A is a competitive firm and faces an equilibrium price of £12 for its product. The cost function of firm A is (q,x) = q2 + (x-4)2 . Firm B is a competitive firm and faces an equilibrium price of £10. Firm B’s cost function is (r,x) = r2 + xr. Compute the equilibrium prices and quantities and the profits of the two separate, competitive firms. Interpret the first order conditions. Explain. b) Compute the social optimum, that is, the equilibrium prices, quantities, and profit when firm A and B are merged. Interpret the conditions and compare it to the solution in (a). Explain. c) Devise a quantity tax on product q for firm A in (a) such that the government can restore the social optimum in (b). d) Discuss other methods the government can use to restore the social optimum. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the methods you propose. Explain.

The statement ‘The Good quality life’ shows the commitment ofthe developer towards ensuring that the residents enjoy all the amenitiesand services in the township at least cost and inconvenience. In order toensure competitive outcome, ATRICO (Adani Real Estate Arm) hasensured that for all the important services, many service providers arepresent, so that none of them can charge a high monopoly price from theresidents. Therefore, there are 4 milk parlours, 4 laundromats, 4photocopiers, 4 beauty saloons and 4 grocers in the township. Thisnumber ‘4’ has been decided in a high level meeting, where this wasdiscussed that having less than 4 will result in duopoly/tight oligopoly,and having more than 4 will require more space and therefore notpreferred.Last month, the ladies in ‘Water Lily’ complained that the prices chargedby beauty saloons in the township are very high.
