The inverse demand for tea is given by P= 10 – 0.04Q, where Pis the price per a gram of tea and Qis the total number of grams of tea brought to market. There are two tea shops in the market. Shop 1's cost function is given by C = 0.01q,?, where qı is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Shop 2's cost function is given by C2 = 0.01q2², where qp is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Given that the two shops compete by setting output (Cournot), answer the following. a) Identify shop 1's reaction function to shop 2's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.33). 91= Number - Number 92 b) Identify shop 2's reaction function to shop 1's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.71). q2= Number Number 91 c) To within two decimal places (e.g. 0.63) what is the equilibrium output level of each shop and the equilibrium per gram price for tea.

When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.There is a firm making custom stuffed animals. The demand function for custom stuffed animals is: P = 1000 - 20Q The cost depends on how much of each of their inputs they use. It takes 3 inputs to make a stuffed animal: cotton, oil, and chorizo. The amount required, input prices, and restrictions are below: It takes 1 pound of cotton to make a stuffed animal. Cotton costs $20 per pound. They can buy up to 23 pounds of cotton. It takes 2 barrels of oil to make a stuffed animal. Oil costs $10 per barrel. They can buy up to 44 barrels of oil. It takes 3 chorizo burritos to make a stuffed animal. Burritos cost $5 per burrito. They can buy up to 100 burritos. Set this up in Solver to help them maximize profit by choosing the best quantity of stuffed animals to produce, subject to the constraints of the maximum amount of cotton/oil/burritos they can buy.

- For a firm with a Total Cost function TC C(Q), recall that the definitions of Marginal Cost (MC) and AverageTotal Cost (ATC) are given as follows:Marginal Cost (MC) = C'(0)Average Total Cost (ATC) = C(Q)/QProve that the marginal cost is equal to the average total cost (MC = ATC) when the average total cost is at itsminimum value.(Hint: By using the definition of average cost function, find the quantity that minimizes it by applying unconstraint optimization.Show that the FOC of the minimization problem implies that MC=ATC has to be satisfied at the minimum level of average cost.)11.2 The cost of producing x teddy bears per day at the Cuddly Companion Co. is calculated by their marketing staff to be given by the formula C(x) = 100 + 36x − 0.01x2. (a) Find the marginal cost function C'(x). C'(x) = Use it to determine how fast the cost is going up (in $) at a production level of 100 teddy bears. $ per teddy bear Compare this with the exact cost of producing the 101st teddy bear (in $). The cost is increasing at a rate of $ per teddy bear. The exact cost of producing the 101st teddy bear is $ . Thus, there is a difference of $ . (b) Find the average cost function C, and evaluate C(100) (in $). C(x) = C(100) = $ per teddy bear What does the answer tell you? The average cost of producing the first hundred teddy bears is $ per teddy bear.Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging thesameprice in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price,output, and the total profits? c. Analyze, with graphs, the two alternative pricing strategies available to the company.

(a) Find the marginal cost function C'(x). C'(x) = (b) How fast is the cost going up at a production level of 100 teddy bears? When they produce 100 teddy bears, the production costs are increasing at a rate of x dollars per teddy bear In other words, the cost to produce the 101st teddy bear is approximately dollars (c) Find the average cost function C, and evaluate C(100). C(x) = C(100) = So when they produce 100 teddy bears, the average cost per teddy bear is x dollars. (d) Fill in the blanks: Since the marginal cost is less than the average cost per unit, increasing production from 100 teddy bears will cause the average cost per unit to decrease.According to one estimate, the parts for a Segway Human Transporter-which has five gyroscopes, two tilt sensors, dual redundant motors, 10 microprocessors, and can travel up to 12.5 mph-cost at least $1,500 (Eric A.
