Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.

Please no written by hand solutions 2. Mr Gieves and Mr Hawkes produce items of clothing. The market demand for clothes is y = 13-p with y = y1+y2 and p denoting the market price of clothes. Mr Gieves and Mr Hawkes compete by simultaneously choosing the quantity of clothes to send to the market, and their cost functions are C1 (y1) = y₁ and C₂(y2) = y2 respectively. (a) Set up the profit functions, and derive the reaction functions. (b) Find the Cournot equilibrium of the market. Indicate what the market price, individual outputs and profits are.
he Pear Computer Company just developed a totally revolutionary new personal computer. Pear estimates that it will take competitors at least two years to produce equivalent products. The demand function for the computer is estimated to be P=2,500−500Q�=2,500−500� where Q� is millions of computers. The marginal (and average variable) cost of producing the computer is $900. Assuming Pear acts as a monopolist in its market, the profit-maximizing price and output levels are per computer and million computers, respectively. The total contribution to profits and fixed costs at this output level is million. Pear Computer is considering an alternative pricing strategy of price skimming. It plans to set the following schedule of prices over the coming two years: Complete the following table by calculating the contribution to profit and overhead for each of the 10 time periods and prices.

Your current prices are $311 in the Southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21. Given the predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 using the stay even analysis %ΔQd = %ΔP/[%ΔP +((P-MC)/P)], can you raise prices by 7% in any of the regional markets? State your conclusion and then show the all the steps supporting your conclusion. (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price. The predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 are: 19.32 or 19% percent change in quantity demanded for the Southwestern region Western Region is 0.245 or 24.5 or 25% NE Region is 0.4032 or 40.32 or 40% I don't understand this question and need assistance.
Apparel manufacturer Nike produces high-end and low-end versions of their running shirts. They estimate that the demands for their products are given by: High-end shirts: P = 130 - 2QH , andLow-end shirts: P = 80 - QL, where Q is measured in 1000 shirts, "H" denotes High-end and "L" denotes Low-end Both types of shirts are produced on the same production line in the same facility, so the marginal cost of producing and selling both types of shirts is constant at $30. Supposing that (i) the two demands are independent and (ii) Nike can produce and market the shirts such that the high- and low-end markets are successfully segmented, what are the profit-maximizing prices Nike would charge for each version?Answer Options:a) by the midpoint rule, PH = $65 and Pl = $40b) PH = $80 and PL = $55c) Nike will set price equal to marginal cost for both versionsd) PH = $130 and PL = $80
