You are the owner of a local Honda dealership. Unlike other dealerships in the area, you take pride in your “No Haggle” sales policy. Last year, your dealership earned record profits of $2.0 million. In your market, you compete against two other dealers, and the market-level price elasticity of demand for midsized Honda automobiles is -1.8. In each of the last five years, your dealership has sold more midsized automobiles than any other Honda dealership in the nation. This entitled your dealership to an additional 35 percent off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) in each year. Taking this into account, your marginal cost of a midsized automobile is $13,000. What price should you charge for a midsized automobile if you expect to maintain your record sales?
Suppose that a firm has estimated its demand curve as q = 36,233 - 96*P, where P is the price per unit and q is the quantity of units produced. What is the firm's marginal revenue equal to when it produces 2,513 units? Please round to two decimal places. (Hint: this is the demand, not the inverse demand!)

- A price-taking firm in a competitive industry of a good that is continuously divisible (like sand) has a total cost function TC(Q) = 3.5Q^2 + 100Q + 500. The market price for the good is p = $240. a: Carefully write out this firm’s profit maximization problem, using the particulars of thisproblem. b: Give the marginal condition (equation) that characterizes the solution to this problem. Solvethis condition for the firm’s optimal quantity Q*. c: Calculate the firm’s maximized profit. d: On a graph with quantity on the horizontal axis, neatly plot the marginal revenue curve andmarginal cost curve.

- The wireless data industry, in which firms compete vigorously against one another for customers, is not considered a perfectly competitive industry. You can choose multiple answers Which of the following industry characteristics make the wireless data industry a non-perfectly competitive industry? A.For wireless firms, long-run economic profits are possible. B.Substantial barriers to entry prevent new firms from entering the wireless market. C.The market is dominated by a few very large wireless firms. D.Wireless firms provide a homogeneous product.arrow_forwardAssume that price is greater than average variable cost. If a perfectly competitive seller is producing at an output where price is $11 and the marginal cost is $14.54, then to maximize profits the firm should continue producing at the current output. produce a larger level of output. produce a smaller level of output. not enough information given to answer the question.arrow_forwardInverse elasticity rule Use the first-order condition (Equation 15.2 ) for a Cournot firm to show that the usual inverse elasticity rule from Chapter 11 holds under Cournot competition (where the elasticity is associated with an individual firm's residual demand, the demand left after all rivals sell their output on the market). Manipulate Equation 15.2 in a different way to obtain an equivalent version of the inverse elasticity rule: pMCp=sieQ,p , where si=qi/Q is firm i's market share and eQp is the elasticity of market demand. Compare this version of the inverse elasticity rule with that for a monopolist from the previous chapter.arrow_forward
