The Canadian retail market for roasted whole coffee beans is dominated by two firms: Tim Hortons (T) and Kicking Horse (K). The market demand function is given by P(Q) = 64 – 0.5Q. Assume it is possible to produce partial units of output. • Kicking Horse's marginal cost for each kg of roasted coffee beans is $3. • Tim Horton's marginal cost for each kg of roasted coffee beans is $5 (although they've been around longer than Kicking Horse, they've only recently expanded their product line for consumers to brew their own coffee at home). What is the Cournot market equilibrium (P and Q)?

- 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. Suppose the situation changes. JointJuice has its plant in Portland Oregon. The local government passes a new tax on…The market demand and supply function for Pizza in New Town were: Qd = 10,000 – 100P Qs = - 2,000 + 100P A.

Plot the market and demand curves, label the equilibrium point E, and draw the demand curve faced by a single Pizza shop in this market on the assumption that the market is perfectly competitive. Show also the marginal revenue of the firm on the figure. C. If the total cost function of the firm is TC = 500 + 2Q + Q2, determine the price-quantity combination that will maximize the firm’s profit. D. Determine the profit. What adjustments should be anticipated in the long run?Suppose that Sony Corporation has developed a new all in one, easy to use, big screen computer / TV (‘BCTV’). This BCTV is unique in the market and Sony estimates that the demand for this new BCTV is: P = 13 – Q, where P is in thousands of dollars and Q is in thousands of BCTVs. The total cost of producing the BCTV is given by TC = 2 + 7Q where TC is in thousands of dollars. Samsung is considering entering the same market with its own BCTV and faces the same cost curve as Sony. Currently Sony has the capacity to produce 2000 units (i.e., Q = 2). Sony is considering whether to expand its capacity to produce 4000 units (i.e., Q = 4). This would double fixed costs for Sony. Samsung would enter the market with 2000 units of capacity if they entered the market. Both firms plan to use all of their capacity and sell at the resulting market price. a. Construct the payoff matrix for this game b. Does either firm have a dominant strategy? c. What is the Nash equilibrium? d. If Sony…
- Pizza 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.…Evaluate the following: “Since a rival’s profit-maximizing price and output depend on its marginal cost and not its fixed costs, a firm cannot profitably lessen competition by implementing a strategy that raises its rival’s fixed costs.”I need to second half answered.

- 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?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.Two farmers produce milk for local town with local milk demand given by Q=100-1/3P (P denotes price measured in Rands, Q denotes the quantity measured in litres).

- Consider a market with two firms. Call them firm 1 and firm 2. The demand function describing the market is P = 216 – 0.4Q. Firms are initially identical, with the cost function C(q) = 140 + 40q. Calculate the total profits in the market. Under what conditions, the two firms may succeed to collude? How much would each firm earn if they could collude?please solve the question completely. Suppose an industry consists of two firms that compete in prices. Each firm produces one product. The demand for each product is as follows: q1 = 25 - 5p1 + 2p2 q2 = 25 - 5p2 + 2p1 The cost functions are C(qi) = 2 + qi for i = 1; 2. (a) Are the products produced by these firms homogenous or differentiated? (b) Find the best response function for each rm. (c) How does the price firm 1 sets change with its belief about the price of its competitor\'s product? (d) What are the Nash equilibrium prices? (e) What is the percentage markup of price over marginal cost here (this is called the Lerner index)? Do the firms have market power? Why does the Bertrand paradox of zero variable duopoly profits apply here? (f) Suppose the firms merged. What is the new price of products 1 and 2? (g) Explain intuitively why the price is higher under monopoly than under Bertrand duopoly? (h) Are total monopoly profits higher or lower than the sum of Bertrand duopoly…. The market for widgets consists of two firms that produce identical products. Competition in the market is such that each of the firms independently produces a quantity of output, and these quantities are then sold in the market at a price that is determined by the total amount produced by the two firms. Firm 2 is known to have a cost advantage over firm 1. A recent study found that the (inverse) market demand curve faced by the two firms is P = 280 – 2(Q1 + Q2), and costs are C1(Q1) = 3Q1 and C2(Q2) = 2Q2. a. Determine the marginal revenue for each firm. b. Determine the reaction function for each firm.
