Consider a simple monopolistic competition industry (many firms) in whicheach firm in the industry has one store. The store costs $200 per week andthe marginal cost is $10 per unit of output in addition to the fixed cost of the store. Hint: Mathematically this problem can be solved just like a monopoly problem. (a) If the typical the demand facing each individual firm is QD = 40−P eachweek, what price will a typical firm in this industry charge? (Hint: IfQD = 40 − P then P = 40 − QD and MR = 40 − 2QD). (b) Is the firm making a positive profit? What is the producer surplus? Whatis the profit after fixed costs? (c) Will new firms enter the market if demand stays the same and new firmsface the same demand and have the same costs? (d) In general, what is the long run profit of an average firm in a monopolistically competitive market.
Discussion Question 13-11 Network effects give Internet firms a boost with respect to first mover advantages. This is because with network effects O whichever firm's network becomes the largest will become the most valuable to potential customers and will therefore attract even more users. O only firms with access to proprietary technology can form a network. O networks can be networked to create even more traffic and profits. O the first internet firm to establish a network has the most influence over any regulation. When network effects are at play, an increase in the number of people using a given product will shift the demand curve to Oright and make it more elastic. O the right and make it more inelastic. O left and make it more inelastic. O left and make it more elastic. NOV 12 tv NA 10
Alpha Gear is a fitness apparel company. One of their best selling products are their joggers. The company sells joggers under a block pricing scheme that charges $13 per pair of joggers if the customer buys up to 10 joggers and $8 if they buy 11 to 20 joggers. The demand curve is Q-1400 - 25P, and the marginal cost of making a pair of joggers is $5. What are the profits for Alpha Gear under this pricing scheme? 8975 8600 3600 12200 000
Y5 The new food delivery company DoorDash is thinking of entering New Zealand. Its rivalry is the existing UBER Eats. Both these companies simultaneously choose whether to operate in January, February, March, or April, or not to operate at all. Thus the strategy set for both these companies is {January, February, March, April, or Not to Operate}. Assume that the profit received by a monopolist in month m (where a monopoly means only one company is operating) is 10 x m – 15, whereas each duopolist (so both are operating) would earn 4 x m – 15. A company makes zero profit for any month that is not operating. Also, the value of m while calculating the profits for a particular month in the above equations is as follows {January = 1, February = 2, March = 3, April = 4}. The payoffs of the strategic form of this game are the sum of the profit of all the months. For example, if DoorDash operates in February and UBER Eats in March, then DoorDash earns zero profit in January; 5 (=10 x 2 - 15)…
A risk-neutral monopoly must set output before it knows the market price. There is a 50 percent chance the firm's demand curve will be P=20-Q and a 50 percent chance it will be P = 40 - Q. The marginal cost of the firm is MC- Q. The expected profit-maximizing quantity is Multiple Choice O 5 10 15. 20. 29 a a HA
Market Power and Monopoly - End of Chapter Problem Green Machine is the only greenhouse in isolated Point Barrow, Alaska, and therefore has a monopoly on the sale of fresh flowers. The manager estimates that the elasticity of demand for flowers is -0.5. Green Machine cannot be maximizing profits because O it is operating in the inelastic portion of its demand curve, so it can increase price and still gain more revenue while lowering cost. This will increase profits. according to the Lerner index an elasticity of demand of -0.5 means Green Machine's markup is 50% higher than what it should be, so it needs to decrease price and increase sales. elasticity of demand is negative; therefore, Green Machine's total costs are higher than its total revenue, and profits are not being maximized. O its marginal revenue must be greater than its marginal cost when elasticity of demand is between 0 and -1, so profits are not being maximized and it must expand production to increase sales and lower…

3) Your the head of a company that works with the government to launch space tech. Your company estimates that the worldwide market demand curve for space tech is Q = 30,000 – P/20. Including your company, there are a total of three firms in the rocket business, each with an MC of $300K per rocket launch. c. What would the price be if the firm is a monopoly? If all 3 firms have monopoly prices and split them equally, what would their profits be? Explain. d. For the next 5 years the firm will face this decision yearly Is there an equilibrium where all of the firms would set the monopoly price in the first year? Explain. e. The three firms will decide prices yearly, what is the minimum discount factor if firms decide to cooperate with each other throughout to set the monopoly price? Explain.
2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Wonka's reaction function with qw expressed as a function of qh?c. What quantity of dark chocolate will each firm produce in equilibrium and what price will be established for a…
