- Suppose the market for Hula Hoops is monopolized by a single firm. a. Draw the initial equilibrium for such a market. b. Now suppose the demand for Hula Hoops shifts outward slightly. Show that, in general (contrary to the competitive case), it will not be possible to predict the effect of this shift in demand on the market price of Hula Hoops. c. Consider three possible ways in which the price elasticity of demand might change as the demand curve shifts: It might increase, it might decrease, or it might stay the same. Consider also that marginal costs for the monopolist might be increasing, decreasing, or constant in the range where MR=MC Consequently, there are nine different combinations of types of demand shifts and marginal cost slope configurations. Analyze each of these to determine for which it is possible to make a definite prediction about the effect of the shift in demand on the price of Hula Hoops.Suppose an airline sells air tickets to two types of customer – business travelersand vacation travelers. Their estimated demand elasticities are -2.5 and -4.0respectively.Suppose the marginal cost is constant at $240, and the services provided to thetwo types of customer are similar.a. Based on the given information, explain with TWO practical reasons whether theairline should charge a higher price on business travelers or vocational travelers.Explain without calculation.Multichoice company broadcasts to subscribers in Lusaka and Solwezi. The demand for each ofthese two groups are Qsz= 50 - (1/3) Ps and QUSK= 80 - (2/3) Pusk, where Q is in thousands ofsubscriptions per year and P is the subscription price per year. The cost of providing Q units.ofservice is given by C (Q) = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qsz + QusK. Assuming Multichoice is aMonopoly and can engage in third-price discrimination, then1. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Solwezi Market?2. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Lusaka Market?3. Suppose the Monopoly can only charge a single. What price should it charge and what isthe total quantity sold?
- Problem 2Suppose an airline has monopoly over a certain route. The estimated price elasticity of demand for business travelers is EB=-1.9, while the price elasticity of demand for leisure travelers is EV=-2.1. The airline wants to set the prices separately for business and vacation travelers.a) If the marginal cost of transporting each passenger is the same, and the airline is able to separate the two groups perfectly, what is the optimal surcharge (in %) on business travelers? (for example, if leisure travelers pay 100, and business travelers pay 200, then the surcharge is 100%)Answer= b) Suppose that in order to separate business travelers, the airline must offer them slightly better conditions on board (for example, serve them a meal). As a result, the marginal cost of flying a business traveler is 30% higher than for a leisure traveler. What is the optimal surcharge (in %) on business travelers in this case?Answer= c) Now suppose the airline introduces a Basic Economy fare, where…Suppose Bang Bang is the only local swimming pool. She believes that there are 10 potential customers. Each of them has an identical demand function of QI = 250 – 0.02P, with QI as the unit of services of each customer. She operates with a constant variable cost of $500 per unit of service. In reality, demand from different customers may not be identical. Discuss how this might create problems to Bang Bang in conducting a two-part tariff.Consider a monopolist local movie theater which has two distinct client groups, adults and seniors. The inverse demands for the two group are given by:p(qA) = a − b · qAp(qB) = a/3-b/3.qB(a) Describe the demand function in the two markets graphically and then compute the demand elasticity in each market.(b) Compute the demand function qP under the assumption that the movie theather canonly offer a single price to both segments of the market. (Hint: at a given price addthe demand of the adults and senior market. You need to go from the inverse demand function to the demand function.) Illustrate the aggregate demand function in contrast to the demand functions in each segment. Now compute the optimal price of the movie theater when it can only offer a single and common price to the market segments. Who goes to the movies and who does not?(c) Next allow the movie theater to offer different prices in each segment and customerscannot mispresent their identity. What is the optimal price in…
- The price elasticity of demand for melocotones is constant and equal to -2. The melocotone market is controlled by two Cournot duopolists who have different cost functions. One of the duopolists has a constant marginal cost of $975 per ton and produces 70% of the total number of melocotones sold. The equilibrium price of a ton of melocotones must be Group of answer choices $1,500. $750. $975. $3,000. $2,250.A nightclub manager realizes that demand for drinks is more elastic among students, and is trying to determine the optimal pricing schedule. Specififically, he estimates the following average demands: • Under 25: qr= 18 − 5p • Over 25: q = 10 − 2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the nightclub $2 each. (a) If the market cannot be segmented, what is the uniform monopoly price? (b) If the nightclub can charge according to whether or not the customer is a student but is limited to linear pricing, what price (per drink) should be set for each group? (c) If the nightclub can set a separate cover charge and price per drink for each group, what two-part pricing schemes should it choose? (d) Now suppose that it is impossible to distinguish between types. If the nightclub lowered drink prices to $2 and still wanted to attract both types of consumers, what cover charge would it set? (e) Suppose that the nightclub again restricts itself…A monopolist is currently selling 400 units of output at a price of $20 per unit. The elasticity of demand is € = 2. Would this firm wish to sell an additional unit for $19.50 if it could do so without cutting the price charged for the first 400 units sold? Would a perfect competitor ever wish to sell an additional unit at a lower price? Why or why not.
- A manager of a nightclub realizes that demand for drinks is more elastic among students and is trying to determine the optimal pricing schedule. Specifically, he estimates the following average demand for his customer types: Under 25: qr=18-5p Over 25: q=10-2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the club $2 to make. If the manager cannot identify to which group his customers belong, what is the uniform monopoly price? If the manager can identify to which group his customers belong, what price will he charge each group. Assume the manager can only charge a single price to each group. If the manager can charge a separate entry fee and a price per drink for each group, what two-part price will the manager set for reach group. Now suppose that once again it is impossible to identify which group the customers belong. Suppose the manager lowers the price of drinks to equal to marginal cost and still wanted to attract both…The Johnson Robot Company’s marketing managers estimate that the demand curve for the company’s robots in 2008 is P = 3,000 - 40Q where P is the price of a robot and Q is the number sold per month. If the firm wants to maximize its dollar sales volume, what price should it charge? a. $3000 b. $1000 c. $1500 d. $750A city in a developing country does not have a provider of water and sanitation services, leading to poor health outcomes for its citizens. A firm is considering entering thatmarket. The cost curve is C(g) = 10 + 2q, and the inverse demand is P(g) = 10-q. Thegovernment of that city knows that, because of the high fixed cost to operate in this market, any entrant is likely to become a monopolist. Thus, they decide to implement the following regulation: the firm is not allowed to choose a price above an upper limit of p (which the government chooses and sets in the law before the firm decides to enter).There will be no transfers between the government and the firm.Assume that the firm only enters the market if it can get profits of at least zero, given the government's choice of p. Suppose that the government's goal is to maximize consumer surplus. Which of the following statements is the most correct? The government needs to set p = 2, because it's the marginal cost. That eliminatesthe…
