Mega Studios is thinking of producing a megafilm which could be a megahit or a megaflop. Profit is uncertain for two reasons: (1) the cost of producing the film may be low or high, and (2) the market reception for the film may be strong or weak. There is a 0.6 chance of low costs (and a 0.4 chance of high costs). The probability of strong demand is 0.5 (the probability of weak demand is 0.5). The studio’s profits (in millions of dollars) for the four possible outcomes are shown in the table: demand strong weak cost low 80 10 high 0 -70 a) Should the studio produce the film? Justify your answer using expected profits. b) The studio is concerned that the film’s director might let production costs get out of control. Thus, the studio insists on a clause in the production contract giving it the right to terminate the project after the first $30 million is spent. By this time, the studio will know for certain whether total production costs are going to be low (i.e. under control)…
Only typed answer and please answer correctly It is possible to lower the average cost of production by expanding output beyond Q0 to Q1. Why wouldn't a firm expand its output to Q1? Group of answer choices a) Demand is not sufficient for consumers to buy Q1. b) The firm would suffer an economic loss at Q1 while it would break even at Q0. c) The firm's marginal revenue would be negative at Q1. d) The firm wants to maximize accounting profit rather than economic profit.
A company participating in a market of perfect competition invoices monthly 154,200 units, the sum of $308,400,000, so P = $2,000 With this level of sales, the company has saturated its production capacity and as a result its costs have risen sharply. Its marginal cost (MC) is MC = (q2 / 2,000,000) - (q / 20) + 2,450. It is determined that its fixed costs (FC) amount to $20,500,000. You want to know: (a) whether the company should increase or decrease its production and by how much. b) what would be the optimal level of production (q*)? c) what is the profit at the optimal level of production? d) what is the company's current profit?
28. Marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue beyond output 320. True False 29. At 100 output, marginal revenue is less than marginal cost. * True False

Refer to the table above. What is the profit-maximizing number of resort units for Gorgeous Sands Resort during the off-peak period? 200 250 300 350
Use the following information for questions 36-48 Transcendent Technologies is deciding between developing a complicated thought-activated software, or a simple voice-activated software. Since the thought-activated software is complicated, it only has a 30% chance of actually going through to a successful launch, but would generate revenues of $50million if launched. The voice-activated software is simple and hence has a 80% chance of being launched but only generates a revenue of $10million. The complicated technology costs 10million, whereas the simple technology costs 2million. Launching the simplified version would be a mistake for probabilities less than ___? a. 0.6 b. 0.7 c. 0.8 d. 1.0
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS LEVEL 2 COURSE: MICROECONOMICS LEVEL 2 Consider a company A operating in an oligopoly which has a market share of 20% and a unit cost of $50. It currently sells at a price (P) of $52.9 with a price elasticity of demand of -3.5. This company will merge with company D, so that market share will reach 50%. Estimate impact of this operation on selling price under 2 scenarios:(a) With economies of scale, given the merger. Cost reduction of 15%.b) Without economies of scale, constant cost of 50%.c) How much does market power of merged company change, considering with and without economies of scale?
1. Nori is a firm that sells products in an industry with a very high concentration of sellers. Nori's production decisions must consider its competitors' possible production decisions.

Koel is the single producer of home air conditioners in its rural market. The firm's monthly demand is described by the equation P = 5000 − 5Q, where P is the price and Q is the quantity of units sold. Which of the following must be true of Koel? A-An increase in price decreases the quantity sold. B-It is a natural monopoly. C-A decrease in price decreases the quantity sold. D-Higher levels of output bring in increasingly lower total revenue if demand is elastic. E-Maintaining the current price decreases the quantity sold over time.
If a company with market pewer is not making enongh profit (in equilibrinm), a. the price will drop, thus increasing total revenue because demand is elastic. b. price will increase thins increasing total income because demand is inelastic. c. it will exit the industry in the long run if the economic benefit is negative. d. it will expand sales until they reach the unit elastic point on demand. Market power a. it is the ability to increase the price without losing all sales. b. it exists whenever the firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. c. the greater the less elastic is the demand. d. the smaller, the more positive is the cross elasticity of demand. e All of the Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
