Two of your classmates have an idea for a new food truck called Funk Seoul Brother, that sells Korean street food and sushi burritos. It would be the only supplier of this food in Athens.Market research suggests that the demand curve for the food will be P=40-(Q/80). It will cost $2000 to set up the food truck, which is necessary before any food can be made.In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $6 per entrée for every entrée made.a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity?What profit will this food truck generate?b. If this market were instead perfectly competitive, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity?c. How much deadweight loss occurs under the monopolist? 2. Two of your classmates have an idea for a new food truck called Funk Seoul Brother,that sells Korean street food and sushi burritos.

A decorator, who is a monopolist, makes two types of specialty picture frames. From experience, the decorator has determined that if x frames of the first type and y frames of the second type are made and put on sale in a showroom, they can be sold for (100 - 2x) dollars and (120 - 3y) dollars each, respectively. The total cost of constructing these frames is (12x + 12y + 4xy) dollars. How many frames of each type should be produced to realize the maximum profit. and what is the maximum profit? Make sure to verify that this is indeed a maximum.
Exton and Shill are 2 firms that can control emissions at the following marginal costs: MC1 = 400q1, MC2 = 200q2, where q1 and q2 are the amount of emissions reduced by Exton and Shill, respectively. Assume that with no control at all, each firm would be emitting 25 units of emissions. Estimate the cost-effective allocation of emissions control needed if a total reduction of 30 units of emissions is necessary.
In one hour of cooking time, Iron Chef Morimoto can make 120 dumplings or 60 empanadas. Iron Chef Flay can make 90 dumplings or 30 empanadas. Which of the following terms of trade would be acceptable to both Iron Chef Morimoto and Iron Chef Flay?

The Able Manufacturing Company and Better Bettors, Inc. are rival firms in the production of a calculator used by horse racing fans for handicapping (determining betting strategies). Each firm has a fixed cost of $100 and a MC = $10 in producing calculators. The demand for the industry’s product is: Q = 900 – 5P, where P is the market price and Q = Q1 + Q2. If each firm must choose how many calculators to produce and sell without knowing of its rival’s production decision, what will be the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities produced? Calculate the profit for each firm.
Exercise 4.6 An econometrician hired to analyse a local golf course has determined that there are two types of golfers, the regular and the occasional. The annual demand for games from regular players is given by QH = 24 – 0.3P, where P is the price of a round of golf. On the other hand, the annual demand for occasional items is given by QO = 10 – 0.1P. The marginal cost and the average total cost per item are equal to €20. a) If you could distinguish between regular and casual players, what price would be set for each type? How many games would each type of player play? How much profit could the golf course generate? Represent graphically. b) As an alternative to the discrimination of third degree prices, those in charge consider a double tranche rate according to which the members can play as many games as they wish at a price of € 20 per game. How much profit will the golf course generate if it charges all players the same annual fee for becoming a member of the club? What if you…
Bluth’s Bananas is considering expanding its retail operations for its one-of-a-kind frozen banana stands on Jones Beach, which is 10 kilometers long. Bluth’s Bananas estimates that the typical day has 2,000 visitors to the beach, spread uniformly, and that each will demand a single frozen banana provided the price plus any disutility of traveling to a stand does not exceed $6. To visit a stand a beach goer incurs a disutility of $0.50 for each 1/4 kilometer they have to walk to reach a stand. Each Bluth Banana costs $0.75 to make and each stand requires an operating fee to be paid to the city of $50 per day. Determine the equilibrium number of stands Bluth’s Bananas should operate on the beach given it is not in competition with any other firm. Determine the profit maximizing price for the bananas and calculate the profit realized by BB in equilibrium.
Review the following hypothetical scenario and answer the following question: As you are aware, we are continuing to lose customers of our residential VoIP telephone service. According to our recent marketing research report on the topic, many of our customers are dropping due to the expense of maintaining home phone service while also having wireless plans. I would like your team to consider whether we can take advantage of selective discounting to maintain higher retention. In practice, when customers call to cancel their service, we would offer them a significant discount (25 to 30 percent) off their current rate in order to retain their business. Customers would need to agree to maintain their service for at least three months in order to get the discounted price. Please put together a short response that states whether you think this plan would increase our economic profits, and whether there are any risks that we would lose money due to this plan.

Baker Enterprises operates a midsized company that specializes in the production of a unique type of memory chip. It is currently the only firm in the market, and it earns $10 million per year by charging the monopoly price of $115 per chip. Baker is concerned that a new firm might soon attempt to clone its product. If successful, this would reduce Baker’s profit to $4 million per year. Estimates indicate that, if Baker increases its output to 280,000 units (which would lower its price to $100 per chip), the entrant will stay out of the market and Baker will earn profits of $8 million per year for the indefinite future. 1. What must Baker do to credibly deter entry by limit pricing? 2. Does it make sense for Baker to limit price if the interest rate is 10 percent?
