- The pie-chart given below shows the annual global market share of Pepsi and Coke for the last five years on average.Under what market structure do Pepsi and Coke operate? How can you explain the pricing behavior of Pepsi and Coke? Given the obvious market share of both Pepsi and Coke, on what grounds would you justify the multi-billion-dollar annual advertising spending by those twoConsider the market for cola soft drinks where Pepsi and Coke are dominating this market with well above 90% markets share combined. Under what market structure do Pepsi and Coke operate? What microeconomic model can best describe the behavior of Pepsi and Coke? Explain the main theme of this model. Given the obvious market share of both Pepsi and Coke, on what grounds would you justify the multibillion-dollar annual advertising spending by those two companies?There are two firms A and B. Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qA and qB. Inverse demand is P(qA + qB) = 18 − qA − qB and costs are C(q) = 3 ∗ q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s ∗ qB from the government.) (d) Solve for the equilibrium outputs (q∗A, q∗b).(e) Solve for the equilibrium price.(f) Solve for firm B profits.
- Evidence of domination Both the Competition Commission and Icasa found, in their inquiries, that Vodacom and MTN are dominantacross the supply chain. Their dominance is even more entrenched by the spectrum-sharing deals that they haveentered into with Cell C, Liquid Intelligent Technologies and Rain. Cell C is wholly reliant on MTN and Vodacomto provide mobile services, and Liquid and Rain are disincentivised from competing aggressively in the mobilemarket due to the lucrative deals they have struck to provide capacity to either Vodacom or MTN, or both.

Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qA and qB. Inverse demand isP(qA +qB) = 18−qA −qB and costs are C(q) = 3∗q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s ∗ qB from the government.) We begin by examining the model with an unspecified s ≥ 0. A)Find profit functions for both firms. B)Use first order conditions to find each firm’s best response function.

Each firm has constant long-run costs, so that MC0 = AC0. As competitors in a duopoly, there are a number of models to determine output and prices. Assume that the Bertrand duopoly model applies, so that they both set price equal to their marginal cost. Initial output in this market will be 16,000 per year (this is split between the two firms), at a price of $300. (a) At the initial equilibrium, what is total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus)? Suppose that Brooks, Inc. and Spring, Inc. form a joint venture, River Company, whose utility pumps replace the output sold by the parent companies in the domestic market. Assuming that River Company operates as a monopolist and that its costs equal MC0 = AC0, what is: (b) The price? (c) The output? (d) Total profit?
