Pre-mixed concrete is an important input for the construction industry. Concrete cannot be stored or transported over long distances as it begins to set after only a few hours. For this reason, only the three local firms—Aggregate Inc., Big Industries and ConCorp—are in a position to compete in the market. Moreover, the capital and regulatory requirements for constructing a new concrete plant are substantial, creating an effective barrier to entry. Pre-mixed concrete is regarded as a homogeneous good by the construction industry. Inverse demand in the market has been estimated to be,P = 670 − Q/40,where P represents the price of a cubic metre of concrete in dollars, and Q is the total number of cubic metres of concrete supplied into the market on a given day. At present the three firms appear have identical production costs, with each firm facing fixed costs of $400,000 per day and a marginal cost of $190 per cubic metre. Big Industries and ConCorp estimate that the proposed merger…
For the entry deterrence example we discussed today, [Market demand Q(p) = 100 p. the incumbent firm's marginal cost MC = 20, the entrant's marginal cost MC = 20] (A) The incumbent firm's strategy if F = 300 will be entry deterrence. (F is the Entrant's fixed entry cost.) (B) If F = 300 entry deterrence is socially optimal. * (A) is true; (B) is false (A) is false; (B) is true Both (A) and (B) are false Both (A) and (B) are true

Edinburgh Tyre Company (ETC) sells identical tyres under the firm's own brand name and private label tyres to discount stores. The tyres sold in both sub-markets are identical, and the marginal cost is constant at £10 per tyre for both types. The firm has estimated the following demand curves for each of the markets. PB 70 0.0005QB (brand name) and PP 20-0.0002QP (private label). Quantities are measured in thousands per month and price refers to the wholesale price in pounds. ETC currently sells brand name tyres at a wholesale price of £28.50 and private label tyres at a wholesale price of £14. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O a. O b. ○ c. The brand name price is too low and the private label price too high relative to the profit maximising prices. Both prices are too high relative to the profit maximising prices. Both prices are too low relative to the profit maximising prices. Od. The brand name price is too high and the private label price too low relative to…

Suppose Walmart has announced plans to seek approval from the planning commission of a small town to build a new store. Develop alist of the main arguments, pro and con, that could be presented at a public hearing on the matter by members of each of these groups: 1. Owners of small businesses located nearby.2. Town residents, and residents of nearby towns. How might a Walmart representative respond to the negative criticisms that might be brought up, and what other benefits could the representative offer the planning board to bolster Walmart’s case for gaining the board’s approval?
