Two car manufacturers, Nissa and Honda, have fixed costs of $1 billion and marginal costs of $10,000 per car. If Nissan produces 500,000 cars per year and Honda produces 200,000 cars per year, calculate the average production cost for each company.Average production cost for Nissan: $ .Average production cost for Honda: $ .On the basis of these costs, which company's market share do you think will grow in relative terms? Honda or Nissan?
Do an economic analysis of two giant competitor brands, Coke and Pepsi, in the context of them being rivals in the Twenty-First Century and use all the knowledge you have gathered over the last several weeks. Please do not make it a financial case. It is to be an economics case study, utilizing the economic model of pure competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly or monopoly.
It may seem as though basic static games are too simple to describe
the strategic choices faced by modern transnational firms. Yet simple
normal-form games apply to the case studies presented in both of the
textbooks. Present your observation of what many of these cases
have in common. This is your rule category. Point out the cases that
are exceptions, if any, and why you think they are different from the
others. This is your exception category. In response to your
classmates' posts, explain what circumstances would have to change
to move a case from the rule category to the exception category, or
vice versa.

- 5) Use a supply and demand diagram like in the slide titled "From monopoly to Cournot duopoly" to explain conceptually the supply decision that leads to a Cournot Nash equilibrium, and why it has lower price and total profits than the collusive (monopoly) supply. Optionally you can also use precise numbers: assume market demand behaves like P=36-3Q, (Q=Q1 +Q2), and the constant marginal cost is MC=18, then solve for price and profits, both under collusion and Cournot competition. Hint: you will need to solve for each oligopolist's supply decision contingent on that of the other, so-called best-response functions.

Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 7. 1. What price should these firms charge to maximize total industry profit? (Note: the marginal condition we learned will work here but you need to be careful because the changes in quantity on the schedule are not 1. Because of this, you might want to use a brute force approach here. It's worth thinking about how you would reconcile it with the marginal condition though. Also, the marginal condition doesn't match exactly so take the best number from the schedule.)......... 2.

- Consider the argument: Price-match guarantees are bad for consumers because they eliminate any incentive for competitors to reduce prices. When you think it through, it's obvious that they eliminate price competition; ACME wouldn't win any of Globex's customers by offering a discount if Globex will give the same discount. The argument is extended; that is, there's a main argument and an argument for one of the premises. What is the main conclusion? O ACME wouldn't win any of Globex's customers by offering a discount if Globex will give the same discount. o Ensuring that customers will pay the lowest available price is good for consumers. O Price-match guarantees eliminate any incentive for competitors to reduce prices. O Price-match guarantees are bad for consumers.arrow_forwardDear expert bro hand written not allowed.arrow_forward11.
