In 2006, the five leading suppliers of digital cameras in the United States were Canon,Sony, Kodak, Olympus, and Samsung. The combined market share of these five firmswas 60.9 percent. The leading firm was Canon, with a market share of 18.7 percent. Theown price elasticity for Canon’s cameras was –4.0 and the market elasticity of demandwas –1.6. Suppose that in 2006, the average retail price of a Canon digital camera was$240 and that Canon’s marginal cost was $180 per camera. Suppose you were the CEO of Kodak, what would you do to avoid its business failure? Please apply the specific tools from managerial economics to the case analysis
Assuming that the price is greater than the average variable cost, a monopolist maximizes profits at the output for which (picture a graph): O price is equal to marginal revenue in the downward part of the marginal cost curve O marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue in the upward sloping part of the marginal cost curve O average variable cost and average total cost are in the downward part of their curves and price is equal to marginal cost O average total cost is at the lowest point

Problem 11-04 (algo) ou are the manager of a monopoly that sells a product to two groups of consumers in different parts of the country. Analysts at your irm have determined that group 1's elasticity of demand is -5, while group 2's is -2. Your marginal cost of producing the product is 630 a. Determine your optimal markups and prices under third-degree price discrimination. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Markup for group 1: Price for group 1: $ Markup for group 2: Price for group 2 $ b. Which of the following are necessary conditions for third-degree price discrimination to enhance profits. Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. For correct answer(s), click the box once to place a check mark. For incorrect answer(s), click twice to empty the box. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand greater than 1 in absolute value. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand less than one in absolute value.…

1. Asssume the following equations describe the conditions for an unregulated monopoly: Qd = q = 25,000 -100P or P = 250-0.01q TC = 480,000 + 70q + 0.005q2 where Qd is the quantity demanded for the firm, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is total cost in dollars, and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? b. What price will the firm charge for the commodity c. What does the firm's total economic profit equal? d. What is the amount of deadweight loss that exists given the monopoly is unregulated? Assume the government is now going to regulate this monopoly, and the regulators want to guarentee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output. e. What is the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators establish to guarantee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output? g. What does the firm's…
1. Consider a monopoly firm with the total cost functionC(q) = 120 + 6qand the inverse market demandp(Q) = 90 − 2Q(a) What quantity will this firm sell? What price will they charge? Whatwill their profit be?(b) What would be the efficient quantity for this monopoly to produce?How much deadweight loss do they create?(c) Do you expect a firm with this sort of cost function to typically be amonopoly? Why or why not?2. Pretend it’s 2005 and people still use iPods.
