4. Profit maximization in the cost-curve diagram Suppose that the market for candles is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. Hint: After placing the rectangle on the graph, you can select an endpoint to see the coordinates of that point.
4. Suppose a manufacturer and its retailer face the problem of double marginalization described in my notes, Section 11.1. If the manufacturer sets the wholesale price equal to its marginal cost c and in addition, requires the retailer to pay a fraction a (between 0 and 1) of its profit. Write down the retailer's profit maximization problem. Will this practice solve the double marginalization problem? (That is, will this 4.a practice maximize their joint profit?) 4.k Suppose the retailer is required to pay a fraction of a of its sales (i.e., total revenue). Write down the retailer's profit maximization problem. Will this practice solve the double marginalization problem?

5.4 Food service firms buy meat, vegetables, and other foods and resell them to restaurants, schools, and hospitals. US Foods and Sysco are by far the largest firms in the indus- try. In 2015, these firms were attempting to combine or merge to form a single firm. A news story quoted one res- taurant owner as saying: "There was definite panic in the restaurant industry... when the merger was announced. They know they're going to get squeezed." a. Analyze the effect on the food service market of US Foods and Sysco combining. Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. For simplicity, assume that the market was perfectly competitive before the firms combined and would be a monopoly afterward. Be sure your graph shows changes in the equilibrium price, the equilibrium quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. b. Why would restaurant owners believe they would be "squeezed" by this development?
Use the graph above to answer these questions: What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is the economic profit? What is the per-unit amount of profit at the profit-maximizing level of output?
13. What is the economic argument that monopolies are most often less efficient than highly (say, perfectly) competitive producers? for managerial economics class
• • Start your discussion by responding to these questions using the company for which you currently work, a business with which you're familiar, or a dream business you want to start: . With your selected business in mind, determine if it is perfectly competitive, monopolistic competitive, oligopolistic, or monopolistic. Explain how you drew your conclusion about its market structure. How does the business/firm in this industry determine the price it will charge for the products or services it sells? Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts and share an insight or question you have about that business and its market structure.
In 2017, two beer drinkers in California filed a lawsuit against Kona Brewing Company, which sells Kona beer. The beer drinkers claimed that Kona was marketed as if it were brewed in Hawaii, but the beer is actually brewed in Oregon, Washington, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Source: Cameron Miculka, "Suit Alleges Misrepresentation by Kona Brewing Co. Owner," westhawaiitoday.com, March 3, 2017. If the market for beer were perfectly competitive, the location of breweries would A. be in the same geographic area. B. not matter to consumers since the product would be homogeneous. C. be outside the United States. D. not matter to consumers since the product would be heterogeneous.
