- Acme Drug Co. has a patent on the drug A-rene, the annual demand for which can be described by the demand curve: Q = 4500 - 300P. Production of the drug requires an annual fixed cost of $3,000 and a per unit marginal cost of $5. (i) How many units of the drug will Acme produce each year, and what price will it charge, in order to maximize its profits? What will be its annual profits? (ii) Now suppose that the Better Drug Co. has discovered B-rene, a new drug which seems to be identical to A-rene in all its effects. If Better enters the market, competition with Acme will conform to a Cournot duopoly. Better’s costs are identical to those of Acme. What would be the equilibrium outcome of this duopoly? Specifically, how much would each firm produce and what would be the price? How much profit would each firm make? Would Better find it profitable to enter the market? (iii) Would it be in the interests of society as a whole for Better Drug to enter into production?

- Under patent protection, a firm has a monopoly in its production. Market demand is estimated to be P = 400 – 0.2Q. The firm’s economic costs are given by ATC = MC = $80 per unit. After the firm’s patent expires, predict the new market output and price under perfect competition. Assume that competing suppliers have the same economic costs as the original producer.

Another pro that I would consider to export from the US is that the patent would be able to protect the design of the computer, which will reduce the result of the property being an infringement. A con from exporting from the United States that it would cost more money from the taxes, duties, and the trade barriers that are from Western Europe. Another con would be that it would take much longer to exist something from over seas. First, I will start with the cons of the process where you might not have full control over the manufacturing process, which can really impact the product of the computer. This can significantly be a bad idea. A pro of having to license a European firm to manufacture and market the computer in Europe would be how they know all of the distribution…arrow_forward
- Under patent protection, a firm has a monopoly in its production. Market demand is estimated to be P = 600 – 0.3Q. The firm’s economic costs are given by ATC = MC = $60 per unit. Determine the firm’s optimal output, price and economic profit After the firm’s patent expires, predict the new market output and price under perfect competition.

Arrowsmith Lumber calculates that its profit in each of the four cutting years would be $90,000 and that the cost of replanting the harvested areas in each of Years 3 and 6 would be $30,000.a) Should Arrowsmith Lumber buy the timber rights if its cost of capital is 5.5%?b) By what amount would the economic value of Arrowsmith Lumber be increased or decreased if it proceeded with purchasing the timber rights for $250,000?arrow_forward
