Suppose that the market for e-readers is an oligopoly controlled by Amazon.com , Barnes and Noble,Sony, and Apple. Barnes and Noble is consideringincreasing its output. How would this affect themarket price? How would it affect the profits ofeach company?
Only typed answer Assume that the demand for a standard (i.e. non-luxury seat) ticket to a Cleveland Indians game is represented by the function: P = 80 – 0.625Q and MR = 80 – 1.25Q and MC = 30 a. What single price will maximize monopoly profit? b. What will be the prices and quantity under two-part pricing? c. Calculate and compare the profits for each option.
1. 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?
A monopoly faces an inverse demand curve, p(y) = 100 − 2y, and has constant marginal costs of 20. What is its profit-maximizing level of output and price?

Show your work algebraically and graphically.
The following table presents the valuations that 5 different consumers have for 2 different products. The production costs are $10 per unit of good A and $10 per unit of good B. The firm producing them can choose to price them independently or using a bundling strategy. What is the profit the firm will realize, if it prices optimally? VALUATIONS Product A Product B Consumer 1 5 95 Consumer 2 10 90 Consumer 3 50 50 Consumer 4 80 20 Consumer 5 95 5 ANSWER SHOULD BE 410. I will like if it is right! showing my support. Thank you.

Are the following statements true or false? (D). A monopoly earns total revenue of $5000 when it sells 500 units of output and totalrevenue of $5400 when it sells 600 units of output. Thus, the marginal revenue of the600th unit is $9.(E). We call a market where there is only one buyer for a good or service a monopoly.(F). There are a few firms selling differentiated products in a monopolistically competitiveindustry.(G). When a demand curve is a downward sloping straight line, the slope of the marginalrevenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.
