- COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibriumDr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platipus have decided to venture into farming. They both participated in the venture eqully well, so at the end of the year, their farm produced five geese, each laying golden egs. Perry and Dr. Doof have to decide how to divide these five geese among themselves -- there are no market where they could sell them and there is not sharing or time-share arrangements possible. In other words, either they use the goose or loose it. Evidently, they cannot split an egg-laying goose in half.(a) Give an example of economically efficient allocation of golden egg laying geese between Perry and Dr. Doof. Briefly explain why the allocation you provide is efficient. (b) Give an example of an allocation of geese between the two that you think is fair (equitable). Briefly explain why it is fair in your opinion. (c) If the allocation in (a) is not the same as the one in (b), is it possible to come up with an allocation of geese that would be both efficient and…Consider a small town with two competing restaurants: Doug’s Diner and Betty’s Bistro. There is 1000profit to be made in the market. Each period, the restaurants simultaneously decide whether to offer high orlow quality food. In order to offer high quality food, each restaurant must hire an expert chef, which incursan additional cost of 100. The restaurants split the profit equally if they offer the same quality of food. Ifone restaurant offers high quality food while the other offers low quality food, the high quality restauranttakes four fifths of the profit and the low quality restaurant takes one fifth of the profit.(a) Draw up the normal form game matrix, showing the players, strategies, and payoffs.(b) Determine the Nash equilibrium of this game.(c) Explain how the restaurant owners could both be better off than in the Nash equilibrium if they wereable to cooperate. Is the town as a whole better off or worse off when the firms cooperate? Why or whynot
- While grading a final exam, an economics professordiscovers that two students have virtually identical answers.She is convinced the two cheated but cannot prove it. The professorspeaks with each student separately and offers the followingdeal: Sign a statement admitting to cheating. If both studentssign the statement, each will receive an “F” for the course. Ifonly one signs, he is allowed to withdraw from the course whilethe other student is expelled. If neither signs, both receive a “C”because the professor does not have sufficient evidence to provecheating.a. Draw the payoff matrix.b. Which outcome do you expect? Why?Each time a song is played on the radio, the record company and the songwriter are paid a royalty of $0.30.Of the total, 75% goes to the company and the rest to the writer. If on a network of 50 radio stations, a certainsong is played 4 times a day during the first week and then 20 times a day for the next three weeks, how muchdoes the network owe in royalties for the four weeks? How much do the record company and the songwriterreceive eachSuppose that an incumbent can commit to producing a large quantity of outputbefore the potential entrant decides whether to enter. So, the incumbent Örst chooseswhether to produce a small quantity or a large quantity. The rival then decides whether toenter. If the incumbent commits to the small output level and if the rival does not enter,the rival makes $0 and the incumbent makes $900. If it does enter, the rival makes $125and the incumbent earns $450. If the incumbent commits to producing the large quantity,and the potential entrant stays out of the market, the potential entrant makes $0 and theincumbent makes $800. If the rival enters, the best the entrant can make is $0, the sameamount it would earn if it didnít enter, but the incumbent earns only $400. Show the gametree. What is the SPNE?
- Firms J and K produce compact-disc players and compete againstone another. Each firm can develop either an economy player (E)or a deluxe player (D). According to the best available marketresearch, the firms’ resulting profits are given by the accompanyingpayoff table.a. The firms make their decision independently, and each is seeking itsown maximum profit. Is it possible to make a confident predictionconcerning their actions and the outcome? Explain.Firm KE DE 30, 55 50, 60 Firm JD 40, 75 25, 50b. Suppose that firm J has a lead in development and so can move first.What action should J take, and what will be K’s response?c. What will be the outcome if firm K can move first?Adani Shantigram is a picturesque township on Ahmedabad-Gandhinagarhighway. The statement ‘The Good quality life’ shows the commitment ofthe developer towards ensuring that the residents enjoy all the amenitiesand services in the township at least cost and inconvenience. In order toensure competitive outcome, ATRICO (Adani Real Estate Arm) hasensured that for all the important services, many service providers arepresent, so that none of them can charge a high monopoly price from theresidents. Therefore, there are 4 milk parlours, 4 laundromats, 4photocopiers, 4 beauty saloons and 4 grocers in the township. Thisnumber ‘4’ has been decided in a high level meeting, where this wasdiscussed that having less than 4 will result in duopoly/tight oligopoly,and having more than 4 will require more space and therefore notpreferred.Last month, the ladies in ‘Water Lily’ complained that the prices chargedby beauty saloons in the township are very high. In order to address thecomplaints, details…Answer both please otherwise we will give dounvote

Lower than in imposing business model business sectors and lower than in completely serious markets. c. Higher than in imposing business model business sectors and higher than in completely serious markets.Exercise 3.17 (competitive product market interac- tions). There is a mass 1 of identical entrepreneurs with the variable-investment technology described in Section 3.4. The representative entrepreneur has wealth A, is risk neutral, and is protected by limited liability. Denote the average investment by I and the indi- vidual investment i (in equilibrium i = I by symme- try but we need to distinguish the two in a first step in order to compute the competitive equilibrium). A project produces Ri units of goods when successful and 0 when it fails. The probability of success is pH in the case of good behavior (the entrepreneur receives no private benefit) and pL = pH − ∆p in the case of misbehavior (the entrepreneur then receives private benefit Bi). Assume that it is optimal to induce the entrepreneur to behave. The market price of output is P = P(Q), with P' 0, where Q is aggregate production (with P(Q) tend- R ≡ RS…A6. 1.Adam and Zoey are competing fish and chips sellers in Linear City. They are located at the twoopposing ends of the town’s 3-mile-long Main Street. The 1700 inhabitants of the town are distributeduniformly on Main Street and each of them eats at most one portion of fish and chips for lunch. People’sdisutility from getting to a fish and chips stand and back home amounts to $2 for each mile of distanceto the stand. The marginal cost of producing one portion of fish and chips is $9. The consumers areuniformly distributed along the street. Each consumer has a valuation of $29.0 for the product. Supposethat both Zoey and Adam can advertise at zero cost to inform everyone about their business. Find theequilibrium price of Zoey if neither of the two sellers advertises.
