- We now assume the firm producing a steel bar is under monopolistic competition. When the price of the steel bar is $ 30,000, the quantity demanded is 8 metric tons, a 100% change in the price would change the quantity demanded by 25%. The firms fixed cost is $45,000. Its variable cost in thousands at each level of production are 45, 85, 120, 150, 185, 225, 270, 325, 390, and 465. 1. How much would be the consumers' surplus when the firm produces in the long run? 2. How much would be the economic profit of the firm?You own Athleticon, which manufactures athletic wear. Your new contract with Atlanta United, a professional soccer team, allows Athleticon to be the sole suppler of athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. No one lese can manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be Athleticon’s level of profitability on the sale of “Atlanta United” athletic wear? Explain why. Your contract with Atlanta United only lasts 3 years. It was not renewed. Other firms can now manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo It is now 5 years after your contract with Atlanta United was terminated. Any manufacturer that wants to can manufacture and sell athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be the level of profitability and rate of return on manufacturing athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo? Explain why.A monopolistically competitive firm faces the following demand curve for its product: Price ($) 10 6. 8. 17. 6. 3 2 1 Quantity 4 6. 8. 10 12 14 16 18 20 Refer to the Table. The firm has total fixed costs of $20 and a constant marginal cost of $9 per unit. How many units will the firm produce? "Don't leave spaces before, after or in between your number.
- Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firm—Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.Price, cost, revenue $100 $90 $80 $70 $60 $50 0 000 MR MC D /AC 0 7000 14000 21000 12000 Dresses per year Refer to the graph shown of a monopolistically competitive firm. In the long run: marginal cost will fall for firms that remain as other firms exit the industry. demand will fall for firms that remain as other firms enter the industry. Odemand will rise for firms that remain as other firms exit the industry. O average total cost will rise for firms that remain as other firms enter the industry.MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?

Is your demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic? Does your answer change if you were in a monopolistically competitive market? What happens to the elasticity when you go from a monopolistic market to a monopolistically competitive one? Explain and give an example. Retailer companies sell many products for which manufacturers have a sug-gested retail price printed on the package. Is there an economic reason for this price?
