Firm A and firm B are battling for market share in two separate markets.Market I is worth $30 million in revenue; market II is worth $18 million.Firm A must decide how to allocate its three salespersons between themarkets; firm B has only two salespersons to allocate. Each firm’srevenue share in each market is proportional to the number ofsalespeople the firm assigns there. For example, if firm A puts twosalespersons and firm B puts one salesperson in market I, A’s revenuefrom this market is [2/(2 1)]$30 $20 million and B’s revenue is theremaining $10 million. (The firms split a market equally if neitherassigns a salesperson to it.) Each firm is solely interested in maximizingthe total revenue it obtains from the two markets.a. Compute the complete payoff table. (Firm A has four possibleallocations: 3–0, 2–1, 1–2, and 0–3. Firm B has three allocations: 2–0,1–1, and 0–2.) Is this a constant-sum game?b. Does either firm have a dominant strategy (or dominated strategies)?What is the…
Consider a labor market in which workers are paid the minimum wage. When will it matter for tax incidence whether a payroll tax is imposed on workers or on employers? A.Normally, the statutory imposition of a tax is irrelevant to the actual economic incidence because the party on whom legal liability rests will shift the burden if it can, and the less-elastic party will bear most of the burden of the tax. However, a tax imposed on employers can be shifted to workers earning the minimum wage; employers are not legally constrained from lowering wages further, so they will not bear the full burden. On the other hand, a tax imposed on workers will not be at least partially shifted to employers if the demand for labor is inelastic. Therefore, minimum-wage employers with elastic demand for labor are likely to share some of the burden of a tax imposed on employees. B.Normally, the statutory imposition of a tax is relevant to the actual economic incidence because the party on whom legal…

The government imposes a minimum wage $w on the price of labor, where the market demand and supply are Q = 300 – p and Q = p respectively. (a What level of minimum wage maximizes PS (the surplus to producers of labor, that is, the welfare of the employee pool)? Assume the best case scenario where the candidate workers whose willingness-to-accept- wages are lowest get the jobs in the rationing process b. For w = 250, calculate the PS for the worst case scenario, where the candidate workers whose willingness-to-accept wages are highest end up getting the jobs in the rationing process.

Only Graph it please! “Summer open-air concerts are a pure public good in a small town. The average cost of each concert per night is constant at $500. Explain why it would be inefficient to require each resident of a community to hire their own orchestra at the $500 rate for each concert. Assuming that the marginal benefit of the first concert is $25 for each of the 1,000 residents of the community, prove that it will be efficient to have more than one concert per summer. If the concert were financed with voluntary contributions, what conditions would have to prevail to achieve the efficient number of concerts per summer?” Identify your final group answer with the subject "Final Response".
Explain the logic behind the race to the bottom argument and the likely reason it has not occurred.
Supply chain shortages have limited the number of microchips available to car manufacturersin the US. Since every new car needs microchips to control it, we can think of a limit on thenumber of microchips as a quota on the production of new cars. If this quota is binding,which of the following may be a market consequence of a production quota on new cars in theUS market? Do not worry about the underlying facts; only whether the explanations makeeconomic sense given our model. (Select one or more) (a) The quantity supplied of new cars will rise to meet the quota.(b) The quantity supplied of new cars will fall to meet the quota.(c) The quantity supplied is unaffected by a binding quota.(d) The price of new cars will rise until there is no excess demand.(e) The price of new cars will fall until there is no excess demand.(f) Consumer surplus will increase as a result of the quota.(g) Consumer surplus will decrease as a result of the quota.(h) Consumer surplus will be unaffected by the…
The following Table refers to four buyers’ willingness to pay for papadums. Each buyeris willing to buy at most one papadum and no more. buyer Willingness to pay ($) for onepapadum Lincoln 17.00 Jefferson 15.00 Franklin 9.00 Washington 3.00 (a) Let the competitive market price be $4.00: calculate the total consumer surplusin the market at this price.(b) Assume now that there is only a single seller of papadums, and she knows eachbuyer’s willingness to pay. Assume that this seller incurs a cost of $4.00 perunit of papadum produced (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). If she intends tomaximise profits, how many papadums would this seller supply to the market,and what price would she charge? Remember, the price has to be the same foreach unit sold. Hint: start at a price of $17 and calculate what profit would be.Then lower the price just enough to attract an additional buyer and calculatewhat the new profit would be. Repeat this until all four buyers are purchasingthe…
