- Consider an imperfectly competitive service provider, Muscat Automotive Repair Services (MARS), whose total cost of production is C = 30Q +0. 165Q2. Also, MARS faces two different market segments, A and B, whose demands can be linearly expressed as QA = 240 − PA and QB = 120 − 0.5PB . (Hint: the marginal cost is the slope of the total cost function). 4. If MARS decides to segment the market in accordance with the demands of groups A and B, find the profit-maximizing prices and quantities (PA, QA) and (PB, QB).5. What is the value of the consumer surplus for each group A and B, under this segmentation strategy?6. Draw the situation described in (4) and (5) above, clearly showing each group’s profitmaximizing price and quantity, and the areas that correspond to their consumer surpluses.7. Verify the inverse elasticity rule under each of the scenarios described (1) and (4) above.Suppose Glen’s Grinders, LLC is a retail outlet that sells meat grinders for household use and operates in a perfectly competitive market where there is a total of 10 firms in this market including Glen’s Grinders. Basically, all the firms in this competitive market have technologies (production and cost conditions) that are the same as Glen’s. Suppose Glen’s total cost function is given by: C(q) =100 + 25q + q^2 a. Calculate Glen’s optimal output level and profits if the monthly market inverse demand for units of the product is stable and given by: P= 250 - Q b. If Glen is typical of the firms in this industry (same as the other 9), calculate the long-run equilibrium output, price, and profit level that will ultimately prevail in this industry.Nicole wants to examine first if she wants to enter the market for Chanel bags and she assumes that the market is under perfect competition. She observed that all the firms that are producing Chanel bags have the same LR cost function and is given by C = 200 + 20q + 0.5q2. All firms present in the market has a fixed cost of $200 if it produces a positive output, otherwise the LR cost is zero if there is zero production. The market demand for Chanel bags is QD = 1000 - 2p, where p is the price of one umbrella. Currently, Nicole counted that there are 22 firms in the industry and that the market is a constant cost industry.(c) Suppose that the demand for the Chanel Bag shifts to QD = 1600 - 2p. Assuming that the industry is in the LR equilibrium, solve for the market clearing condition and the number of firms present.
- Suppose that fixed costs for a firm in the automobile industry (start-up costs of facto-ries, capital equipment, and so on) are $5 billion and that variable costs are equal to$17,000 per finished automobile. Because more firms increase competition in themarket, the market price falls as more firms enter an automobile market, or specifi-cally, P = 17,000 + (150/n), where n represents the number of firms in a market.Assume that the initial size of the U.S, and the European automobile markets are 300million and 533 million people, respectively.a. Calculate the equilibrium number of firms in the U.S. and European automobilemarkets without trade.b. What is the equilibrium price of automobiles in the United States and Europe if theautomobile industry is closed to foreign trade?c. Now suppose that the United States decides on free trade in automobiles withEurope. The trade agreement with the Europeans adds 533 million consumers tothe automobile market, in addition to the 300 million in the…I alrready got the first half answered, I need the second half.
