- Suppose a consumer’s demand function for gum produced by a firm with market power is given by P = 0.2 – 0.4Q and the marginal cost is zero. What price should the firm charge for a package containing five pieces of gum?The average consumer at a firm with market power has an inverse demand function of P = 10 − Q . The firm's total cost function is C = 3Q. If the firm engages in two-part pricing, what is the optimal fixed fee to charge each consumer? a. $75.50 b. $32.50 c. $24.50 d. $64.50Pizza Hut and Dominoís are considering to open a shop in a new shopping precinct in Burwood. Suppose both charge $10 for a pizza (price competition is ignored here), and the aggregate local demand for pizza at this price is Q: If both Örms open a shop in the shopping precinct, Q is shared equally between the two shops. On the other hand, if there is only one pizza shop in the shopping precinct, the total demand Q goes to that shop. The total cost function for Pizza Hut is TC P(Q) = 5Q + 6000 and the total cost function for Dominos is TCD(Q) = 5Q+ 6000: Each has two strategies: Open a shop or Not, and they make their decisions simultaneously. The payoff is zero for a firm that does not open a shop in the shopping precinct. Suppose Q= 3000: Construct a 2 X 2 payoff matrix for this entry game between Pizza Hut and Dominoís and Önd the NE of the game. Suppose Q = 2000:Construct a 2x2 payoff matrix for this entry game between Pizza Hut and Dominoís and Önd the NE of the game.…
- The average consumer at a firm with market power has an inverse demand function of P = 10 − Q. The firm's total cost function is C = 2Q. If the firm engages in two-part pricing, what is the optimal price to charge a consumer for each unit purchased? Multiple Choice $2 $0 $1 $4Consider the following problem: Demand: q = 100-p Retailer: marginal cost of selling r = 10 per unit Manufacturer: marginal cost of producing = 40 per unit Neither firm faces any competitor Suppose now that the retailer and the manufacturer are separate firms. Write down the profit function of the manufacturer if it sells to the retailer at w. You solved for the quantity the manufacturer will sell a minute ago, so you can use that in the profit function, and then you will have a profit function for the manufacturer that does not have p, but only has w in it. Solve for the optimal w for the manufacturer to charge and calculate the quantitysold under that w.A firm with market power faces the demand function, q = 150 – 10P. The firm's marginal cost function is MC(q) = 2 + 0.1q. If the firm establishes a block-pricing structure with two prices, the lower price that the firm will use to maximize producer surplus is $____.
- Suppose an ocean-front hotel rents rooms. In the winter, demand is: P1=50−1Q1 with marginal revenue of: MR1=50−2Q1. However, in the summer, demand is: P2=140−1Q2 with marginal revenue of:: MR2=140−2Q2. Furthermore, suppose the hotel's marginal cost of providing rooms is MC=5+1Q, which is increasing in Q due to capacity constraints. Suppose the hotel engages in peak-load pricing. During the winter, the profit-maximizing price is $35 and the profit-maxizing quantity is 15 rooms. (Enter numeric responses rounded to two decimal places.) During the summer, the profit-maximizing price is $_____ and the profit-maximizing quantity is _________.Suppose an ocean-front hotel rents rooms.

(Enter numeric responses rounded to two decimal places.)Consider the following market demand function: Q= 20-2P, where P is the market price. Suppose there are two firms- A,B in the market and they have the same cost function: the per unit cost of producing output is 4. The firms compete by choosing quantities. Find the reaction functions for both the firms if they are maximizing profits. What is the profit maximizing output for each firm and corresponding market price? If there was only one firm in the market how would your answer change?
- I need to second half answered. JointJuice produces a prepackaged joint support supplement for relief of joint pain with 180 tablets per bottle and operates in a perfectly competitive market. Basically, all the firms in this competitive market have technologies (production and cost conditions) that are the same as JointJuice’s. Suppose JointJuice’s total cost function is given by the following where q is JointJuice’s quantity of packages per day: C(q) = 250 + 6q + 0.1q^2 The market demand function for the output in this market is given by: Q = 1848 - 2P If there are 20 identical firms in this industry, find the market equilibrium price for the prepackaged supplements. Calculate JointJuice’s optimal output level and profits given the market price for the product. If JointJuice is typical of the firms in this industry calculate the firm’s long-run equilibrium output, price, and profit level. - answers for first half JointJuice is a prepackages supplement-producing firm. Suppose…Suppose that the market demand curve of food delivery service in city A is given by P = 100 − Q, where P is the price and Q is the quantity. Currently there is only one firm. The incumbent’s cost function is given by TC = 40q, where q is the quantity provided by the incumbent. Suppose that there’s a potential entrant with cost function TC = 40qe + 100, where qe is the quantity provided by the entrant. The 100 is the sunk cost for developing the delivery system that is paid upon entering the market. a. If the entrant observes the incumbent providing qi units of service and expects this level to be maintained, what output will the entrant produce? b. At what price will the incumbent sell this output to keep the entrant out of the market?Suppose the Boston to Philadelphia airline route is serviced by three airlines – US Airways (Firm A) and JetBlue (Firm B) and Continental (Firm C). The demand for airline travel between these two cities is Q = 150 – p. The cost function is C(Q) = 30Q. The cost function is the same for all three airlines. Assume that the three airlines are making investments in airline capacity. In other words, they are simultaneously choosing quantity. (Cournot Competition) Derive US Airways’ residual demand function given JetBlue’s output, qB, and Continental’s output, qC. What is the Marginal Revenue for US Airways? Derive US Airways reaction function Derive the market equilibrium quantity, Q*, price, p*, and Profit.
