Discuss the market structure of the industry General Motors and Ford. Is it monopolistically competitive or an oligopoly? Are the main products/services more commoditized, highly differentiated, or blockbuster? How does the market structure affect the ability of the firm to control the prices it charges for its products and for the prices it pays for its inputs? The more a firm can control its prices, the more it can control the income statement and EPS.

Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: Dairy King Advertise Doesn't Advertise Advertise 8, 8 15, 2 Creamland Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 11, 11 For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $15 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit- maximizing firms. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of s million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $ million if Dairy King does not advertise. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of s million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of s million if Dairy King does not advertise. If Dairy King advertises, Creamland makes a higher profit if it…

Suppose that an oligopolistic is charging $21 per unit of output and selling 31 units each day. What is its daily total revenue? Also suppose that previously it had lowered its price from $21 to $19, rivals matched the price cut, and the firmâ€™s sales increased from 31 to 32 units. It also previously raised its price from $21 to $23, rivals ignored the price hike, and the firmâ€™s daily total revenue came in at $482. Which of the following is most logical to conclude? The firmâ€™s demand curve is (a) inelastic over the $21 to $23 price range, (b) elastic over the $19 to $21 price range, (c) a linear(straight) down sloping line, or (d) a curve with a kink in it?
Economics Reference the following information about the market demand function for questions 1 to 15. These questions are on different types of market structures – monopoly, perfect competition, Cournot oligopoly market, and the Stackelberg oligopoly market. The market demand function is given the following equation: P = 2000 – Q where Q is the industry’s output level. Suppose initially this market is served by a single firm. Let the total cost function of this firm be given the function C(Q) = 200Q. The firm’s marginal cost of production (MC) is equal to the firm’s average cost (AC): MC = AC = 200. Now suppose the two firms engage in Stackelberg market competition. Assume firm 1 is the leader (first-mover) and firm 2 is the follower firm (second-mover). Marginal profit function of Stackelberg leader: 900−Q1 QUESTION 14: What will be the market price in this Stackelberg model? Group of answer choices $480 $650 $720 $900 QUESTION 15: Can you calculate the profit earned by the…
