- You are considering entry into a market in which there is currently only one producer (incumbent). If you enter, the incumbent can take one of two strategies, price low or price high. If he prices high, then you expect a $60K profit per year. If he prices low, then you expect $20K loss per year. You should enter if you believe demand is inelastic. you believe the probability that the incumbent will price low is greater than 0.75. you believe the probability that the incumbent will price low is less than 0.75. you believe the market size is growing.A monopoly is considering selling several units of a homogeneous product as a single package. A typical consumer’s demand for the product is Qd = 50 - 0.25P, and the marginal cost of production is $120. Determine the optimal number of units to put in a package.

- A large firm has two divisions: an upstream division that is a monopoly supplier of an input whose only market is the downstream division that produces the final output. To produce one unit of the final output, the downstream division requires one unit of the input. If the inverse demand for the final output is P = 1,000 − 80Q, would the company’s value be maximized by paying upstream and downstream divisional managers a percentage of their divisional profits?Consider a monopoly that sells a product to consumers with a constant marginal cost of $13. There are two potential consumers. As a prior belief, each consumer thinks that the product is worth either $29 or $19 with equal probability, and he/she learns the true value of the product after trying it out. Each consumer may have a different perception of the value of the product, and these perceptions are independent events. The product is non-durable. Suppose there are two periods and each consumer demands at most one unit of the product in each period. After the first period, a company named InfoteX could conduct an online marketing survey to learn consumers perceptions of the product. By purchasing the survey from InfoteX, the monopolist knows whether a consumer is happy with the product (i.e., he/she thinks the product is worth $29 instead of $19 after trying it out) or not and can offer personalized prices to customers in the second period. Then the monopolist should charge $_______…A monopoly is considering selling several units of a homogeneous product as a single package.

How much should the firm charge for this package?
- Currently there is an incumbent monopoly in a market. Next year, a potential entrant may enter the market. Suppose that the potential entrant first makes a decision to either ‘enter’ or ‘not enter’ the market. If the potential entrant chooses ‘enter’, then the incumbent can choose to either ‘lobby’ or ‘not lobby’ the government to impose a tax on the potential entrant. If the incumbent chooses to ‘lobby’ then this imposes a cost on it of 20 dollars, but as a result, the government passes a law that places a tax of 60 dollars on the potential entrant if it chooses to enter the market. If the potential entrant chooses to not enter the market it makes zero profit, and the incumbent firm makes the monopoly profit equal to 100 dollars. If the potential entrant enters the market and the incumbent chooses not to lobby, then both firms earns the duopoly profit of 50 dollars. If the potential entrant enters the market, and the incumbent chooses to lobby, the potential entrant earns the…Currently there is an incumbent monopoly in a market.

There are two firms; the incumbent firm (1) and the entrant firm (E). Incumbent moves first by choosing quantity q, from the interval [0.1]. The entrant observes q and decides whether or not to enter and how much to produce if he enters (qe). There is no fixed cost of entry. If the entrant decides to stay out, his profit is zero and the incumbent enjoys a monopoly position. Suppose that both incumbent and entrant have identical marginal costs equal to c= 8 a) What is the subgame perfect equilibrium of this game? What are the quantities produced by the incumbent and entrant? What are their profits? b) What is the minimum quantity that must be produced by the incumbent to deter entry (to make entry unprofitable)? In this game, will the incumbent ever try to deter entry by increasing quantity?
