- The Tampa Tribune and the St. Petersburg Times compete for readers in the Tampa Bay market for newspapers. Recently, both newspapers considered changing the prices they charge for their Sunday editions. Suppose they considered the following payoff table for making a simultaneous decision to charge either a low price of $0.50 or a high price of $1.00. Tampa’s profits are shown in regular type. St. Petersburg’s profits are shown in bold. 7. Which cell(s) is/are strategically stable?Evaluate the following statement: “Predatory pricing in a market is a Nashequilibrium strategy whether or not the incumbent has an advantage; hence, it canwork in practice”. Include diagrams to aid you in your analysis when appropriate.Consider a buyer who, in the upcoming month, will make a decision about whether to purchase a good from a monopoly seller. The seller “advertises” that it offers a high-quality product (and the price that it has set is based on that claim). However, by substituting low-quality components for higher-quality ones, the seller can reduce the quality of the product it sells to the buyer, and in so doing, the seller can lower the variable and fixed costs of making the product. The product quality is not observable to the buyer at the time of purchase, and so the buyer cannot tell, at that point, whether he is getting a high-quality or a low-quality good. Only after he begins to use the product does the buyer learn the quality of the good he has purchased. The payoffs that accrue to the buyer and seller from this encounter are as follows: The buyer’s payoff (consumer surplus) is listed first; the seller’s payoff (profit) is listed second. Answer each of the…

If Megan offers no discount, Martha should ________. A-not discount; discount. B-not discount; not discount. C-discount; not discount D-discount; discount. E-indeterminateSuppose research at Panasonic reveals that prospective buyers are anxious about buying high definition television sets. What strategies might you recommend to the company to reduce consumer anxietyThree consumers who want to buy a TV and a sound system have the following valuations for options offered by the store: (a) Assume that the dealer can charge only individual prices, one price for TV and one price for the Sound System. The goods are sold individually and are not bundled together, and any of the consumers may purchase either one or both goods separately. The store does not charge each consumer the price they are willing to pay but must charge the same price for all TV and the same price for all Sound Systems. What prices will the store charge for each item separately to maximize its total revenue from these three consumers, and what will be its total revenue? Please explain. Suppose that the store bundles TV and Sound Systems together and sells them as a bundle and does not sell them separately any longer. The consumers can no longer buy the goods separately, they will either have to buy a bundle containing both goods or buy nothing. The prices that the consumers…
- One method of solving this problem is through signaling. Signaling is a strategy one uses when they have information. The goal is to use a signal to convince the buyer that the good or service that is being sold is quality and will meet the buyer's wants. Offer an example of a company that uses a signal to help sell its product. What is the signal? What information is the signal trying to convey? Do you think the signal is effective? Why or why not? Does this signal improve market efficiency? Why or why not?The Able Manufacturing Company and Better Bettors, Inc. are rival firms in the production of a calculator used by horse racing fans for handicapping (determining betting strategies). Each firm has a fixed cost of $100 and a MC = $10 in producing calculators. The demand for the industry’s product is: Q = 900 – 5P, where P is the market price and Q = Q1 + Q2. If each firm must choose how many calculators to produce and sell without knowing of its rival’s production decision, what will be the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities produced? Calculate the profit for each firm.You have three tickets to a Celtics game on a night that you are going to be out of town (so the value of unsold tickets is zero to you).

- Discuss the main difference between games of perfect information and games of imperfect information. Define the Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium (PBE).A big data firm Statqo Analytics report shows that Gojek had experienced a 14 percent downturn during the pandemic. Therefore Gojek has a plan to provide special promotions for its customers. However, Gojek still needs to consider its competitor, Grab, before deciding. Based on Gojek’s board of directors calculation, if neither Gojek nor Grab offers discount pricing, a profit of US $2.5 million will be earned by Gojek, and US $2 million will be earned by Grab. However, if Gojek is the only one to offer a discount, it will earn US $5million, while Grab profits will fall to US$ 3 million. If Grab offers a discount and Gojek continues to charge the regular price, Grab profits will total US $3.5 million while Gojek monthly profits fall to US$1.5 million. Finally, if For both Gojek and Grab are to offer discount prices, thereby they will get a modest profit of US $4 million and US $2.5 million, respectively a.
