COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Stackelberg ModelIn a given market good there are only 2 firms that satisfy the demand, and their respective total cost functions are: CTi = 400 and the demand that is estimated is P = 120 - 2QIf the exception variable of both firms is the quantity they will produce, such that the decisions to produce are made sequentially firm number 1 will be the leader who decides the quantity to produce and firm number 2 (follower) decides based on the production of firm number 1, we ask:(a) quantity produced by each firm and its equilibrium price in the market.(b) Profit of each company at equilibrium and (c) Graph your results
Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, andhiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discoversthat it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such adecision.Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs andfound itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, anelectricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing itscurrent aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increaseits profit by simply reselling its electricity.When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. Oneimportant concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation inSpokane, Washington, entered into a…

Economics Bidding for Bookstore Licenses. Paige initially has the only license to operate a bookstore in Bookville. She charges a price of $13 per book, has an average cost of $3 per book, and sells 1,501 books per year. When Paige's license expires, the city decides to auction two bookstore licenses to the highest bidders. Suppose the relevant variables (price, average cost, and output per firm) take on only integer valueslong dash—no fraction or decimals. a. Suppose Paige is optimistic and imagines the best possible outcome with a two-firm market. What is the maximum amount she is willing to pay for one of the two licenses? $ nothing (Hint: How will the relevant variables change? What is the smallest possible change in their values?) b. Suppose Paige is pessimistic and imagines the worst possible outcome with a two-firm market. What is the maximum amount she is willing to pay for one of the two licenses? $ nothing (Enter your response as an integer.)
The accompanying table presents the expected cost and revenuedata for the Tucker Tomato Farm. The Tuckers produce tomatoesin a greenhouse and sell them wholesale in a price-taker market.a. Fill in the firm’s marginal cost, average variable cost,average total cost, and profit schedules.b. If the Tuckers are profit maximizers, how many tomatoesshould they produce when the market price is $500 perton? Indicate their profits.c. Indicate the firm’s output level and maximum profit if themarket price of tomatoes increases to $550 per ton.d. How many units would the Tucker Tomato Farm produce ifthe price of tomatoes fell to $450 per ton? What would bethe firm’s profits? Should the firm stay in business? Explain.
Modified True or False: State whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, briefly explain why it is so, and then restate it to make it true. i. In the long-run competitive equilibrium, each individual firm chooses a scale of operations that minimizes its long-run average cost.
