Suppose we have two identical firms A and B, selling identical products. They are the only firms in the market and compete by choosing quantities at the same time. The Market demand curve is given by P-477-Q. The only cost is a constant marginal cost of $16. Suppose Firm A produces a quantity of 66 and Firm B produces a quantity of 49. If Firm A decides to increase its quantity by 1 unit while Firm B continues to produce the same 49 units, what is the Marginal Revenue for Firm A from this extra unit? Enter a number only, no $ sign. Don't forget to include the negative sign if revenue decreases.

Suppose both companies have entered the industry, then what is the price?and the profit-maximizing amount for the two firms under conditionsperfectly competitive market?b. What is the quantity, price and profit of the two firms ifcompanies collude in pricing?c. What are the quantities, prices, and profits of the two firms if theydo the Cournot strategy, and draw the reaction curves of the twothe company?d. What are the quantity, price, and profit of the two firms if theycarry out the stakeberg strategy.There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job. Assume Asphalt, Inc. has a marginal cost of $100 per driveway and Blacktop Bros. has a marginal cost of $150. Answer the following questions: Determine each firm’s reaction curve and graph it. How many paving jobs will each firm produce in Cournot equilibrium? What will the market price of a pave job be? How much profit does each firm earn?The daily demand for bungee jumping over a river in South Africa is given by Q=5000-200P. There are two firms operating and the first one has a daily capacity of 600 people and the second one of 400 people. The marginal cost of operation is 5 for both firms. The two firms compete in prices and announce their prices simultaneously. Calculate the price and profits of both firms.
- Consider two Cournot firms, Firm A and Firm B. Firm A has a marginal cost of 10 and Firm B has a marginal cost of 5. They face the market inverse demand function: P = 120 – Q How many units will Firm A produce?I alrready got the first half answered, I need the second half. JointJuice produces a prepackaged joint support supplement for relief of joint pain with 180 tablets per bottle and operates in a perfectly competitive market. Basically, all the firms in this competitive market have technologies (production and cost conditions) that are the same as JointJuice’s. Suppose JointJuice’s total cost function is given by the following where q is JointJuice’s quantity of packages per day: C(q) = 250 + 6q + 0.1q^2 The market demand function for the output in this market is given by: Q = 1848 - 2P If there are 20 identical firms in this industry, find the market equilibrium price for the prepackaged supplements. Calculate JointJuice’s optimal output level and profits given the market price for the product. If JointJuice is typical of the firms in this industry calculate the firm’s long-run equilibrium output, price, and profit level. Suppose the situation changes. JointJuice has its plant in…consider 2 gas stations in a remote village facing a simple linear markit demand Q=300-5P, but have different marginal costs of production, both constant, such that MCx=20 and MCy=10. 1. Measuring the quantities Qx on the horizontal axis and the quantities Qy on the vertical axis, draw the reaction curves for each of the gas stations.
- In a market there are five firms, all have a total cost curve equal to CT = 2q. The market demand is Q = 500 - 5P. How much profit would each firm get if they collude and share the market equitably? What is the profit to each firm if they agree to collude, but one firm misleads the others charging a slightly lower price? What is the profit if all firms do not collude and compete via price?The market for fidgets has only three firms, (A, B, and C), that compete in quantities. The market shares of the firms are sA = 60%, sB = 30%, and sC = 10% respectively. The demand in the market is P = 1 − Q. The marginal cost of firm A is zero. (a) Calculate the HHI in this market (in the year of your data). (b) Suppose that firm B buys firm C. (i) What type of merger would this be? (ii) According to EU rules (on HHI level and change), would this merger be concerning? (iii) According to US rules (on HHI level and change), would this merger be concerning? (c) Call the merged firm BC. Suppose that, after the merger, A and BC compete a la Cournot again and the market shares of the firms are in equilibrium sA = 60% and sBC = 40%. What must be the marginal cost firm BC? Comment on your answerSuppose we have two identical firms A and B, selling identical products. They are the only firms in the market and compete by choosing prices at the same time. The Market demand curve is given by P=244-2Q. The only cost is a constant marginal cost of $18. If Firm A chooses a price of $175 what is Firm B's best response? Enter a number only, no $ sign. 131
- The behaviour of a firm depends on the features of the market in which it sells its product(s) and on its production costs. The following diagrams illustrate the possible short-run equilibrium positions of two firms. Firm A MC AC Po AR=MR Quantity Both firms employ the marginal approach to determine profit in the short-run. However, differ with regards to certain market structure criteria: The number of firms in the market The nature of the good or service sold Ease of entry for new competitors into the market Control that the firm has over price In scenario 7, the possible short-run equilibrium positions of two firms are given. With reference to "Firm A", answer the following question. 9.1 Identify the market structure of Firm A. 9.2 Using the marginal approach to determine profit, is Firm A making a short-run profit or loss? Explain your answer with reference to the provided diagram. OFocus Unil revenue and cost7. A honey farm is located next to an apple orchard and each acts as a competitive firm. Let the number of apples produced be measured by A and the amount of honey produced by H. The cost functions of the two firms are CH (H) = H²/100 and C₁(A)=4-H. The price of honey is £2 and the price of apples is £3. 100 a. If the firms operate independently, what is the equilibrium number of apples and amount of honey produced? Are these amounts the Pareto-efficient? Explain. b. Suppose the two firms merge. What is the profit maximising amount of apples and honey that the merged firm produce? Explain. c. What is the socially optimum amount of honey and apples? Discuss methods to induce the independent firms to produce the socially optimal number of apples and amount of honey. Explain.11 8. Suppose an industry produces an undifferentiated product for which market demand is given by X = A- P. There are many potential producers for this product, each of whom has a production function of the form: Fixed costs of F must be paid for being in business, and the marginal cost of a unit of production is a constant k . We imagine that firms decide whether to enter the industry under the supposition that, after all the firms that are going to enter do so, competition will be according to the Cournot model. That is, if N firms are in the market each has Cournot conjectures. An equilibrium is achieved with N firms in the industry if each firm, having its Cournot conjectures, does no worse than break even, whereas if another firm entered and made this an N + 1 firm Cournot oligopoly, all the firms would lose money. What is the equilibrium in this case? What (if anything) would be…
