HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?
The car manufacturing market consists of100 identical factories, each with a marginalcost curve represented by MC =120 + 20where Q represents the amount of carsoffered.a) Derive the industry supply curve for cars.b) If the demand for cars is represented byP=250- 4Q, how many cars are bought atequilibrium?c) Calculate the aggregate consumer andproducer surplus at market equilibrium.
Now, let’s assume “Allergy Gone” enters a competitive market (after the expiry of patent period) where there are numerous other firms also selling similar allergy medication. Using the graph above, find out the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market and explain in 1-2 sentences (Hint: In a competitive market, equilibrium is determined where D(AR) curve intersect with the supply curve). Calculate consumer surplus and producer surplus in this market.
[Bergstrom] A firm with technology y = 4x^(1/2) sells output for p = $100 and purchases the sole input for w = $40. Provide a labeled Iso-profit diagram showing how the firm's input and output decisions would change if the the government imposed a tax of $20 per-unit of output.
Correctly illustrate a supply and demand curve. Pay close attention to the price controls. a) Wisconsin has a salmon market which sells salmon at $15/lb. At that price, 100,000 lbs. of salmon will be consumed in one week. Suppose the state of Wisconsin were to set a quantity control of 50,000 lbs. of salmon per week. Show: P and Q using correct labeling Changes in producer surplus and consumer surplus Deadweight loss Analysis Explain why this market is allocatively inefficient.

a) State and explain Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem and its implications for social choice. b) State and explain the First and Second Welfare Theorem and discuss their economic implication and significance. c) Explain the concept of minimum efficient scale and its relevance for determining when a market is likely to become a monopoly or a competitive market.
(ALL OWNERSHIP GOES TO CENGAGE) The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Sophos. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150. Suppose the federal government of Sophos has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the…
Suppose we are studying the long-run competitive market for robots, the market demand for robots isgiven byD(p)=24p. All the firms are identical with the following cost curveC(y)=y22+8. a)What is the long-run competitive market equilibrium? Rick is a single consumer in the market; his consumption of robots is given byDi(p)=Mp, whereMis his fixed income. Rick is also a government regulator for the robot market; he decides if themarket is competitive or a monopoly.Morty is a firm in the market (he faces the same cost curve as everyone else:C(y)=y22+8). Mortywould like to operate as a monopolist (instead of a firm in a competitive market). b)How much would Morty have to pay/compensate Rick in order for Rick to allow Morty to operateas a monopolist (The market demand curve is the same as part a))? c)Suppose instead this was an oligopoly market with 2 firms engaged in Bertrand competition; bothfirms face the same cost curve and demand curve as part a). How much…
A firms marginal cost curve above the average variable cost curve is equal to the films individual supply curve. This means that every time a firm receives a price from the market it will be willing to supply the amount of output where the price equals marginal cost. What happens to the films individual supply curve if marginal costs increase?
The amount that a beggar outside the Toronto Stack Exchange Building can collect in Average revenues depends negatively on the number of beggars; r = 200 - 4n. A beggar has the choice of standing in line to receive welfare benefits of 50 dollars. a. Graph and determine the non-cooperative solution and the cooperative solution. Show the efficiency loss. b. Illustrate how the cooperative solution could be achieved if the government introduced a per-unit tax on the revenues of each beggar.
