An upstream firm (U) sells an input to a downstream firm (D) which resells it to consumers. The marginal cost of U is 4. Each unit is sold by U to D at a transfer price r. Requirement final is p = 12 - y. a) Suppose U and D are separate firms. Find r, y and p. b) Suppose U and D are one integrated firm. Find p and y. c) Suppose the firms are not integrated, but firm U uses a two-part tariff: it requires payment of r for each unit sold to D; in addition, it requires payment lump sum of T. Find the value of r that U will choose. Find the minimum and maximum values by T. d) Suppose the firms are not integrated, but U imposes a resale price control on firm D. Find the value of r that U will choose, and the constraint that it will impose on the price final p Plzz give the answer of all questions.
Glyde Air Fresheners is the dominant firm in the solid room aromatizer industry, which has a total market demand given by Q = 80 - 2P. Glyde has competition from a fringe of four small firms that produce where their individual marginal costs equal the market price. The fringe firms each have total costs given by TC; = 10Q; + 2Q²;. If Glyde's total costs are given by TCG = 100 + 6QG, what are the total profits of the fringe firms?

There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job. Assume Asphalt, Inc. has a marginal cost of $100 per driveway and Blacktop Bros. has a marginal cost of $150. Answer the following questions: Determine each firm’s reaction curve and graph it. How many paving jobs will each firm produce in Cournot equilibrium? What will the market price of a pave job be? How much profit does each firm earn?
Suppose the Boston to Philadelphia airline route is serviced by three airlines – US Airways (Firm A) and JetBlue (Firm B) and Continental (Firm C). The demand for airline travel between these two cities is Q = 150 – p. The cost function is C(Q) = 30Q. The cost function is the same for all three airlines. Assume that the three airlines are making investments in airline capacity. In other words, they are simultaneously choosing quantity. (Cournot Competition) Derive US Airways’ residual demand function given JetBlue’s output, qB, and Continental’s output, qC. What is the Marginal Revenue for US Airways? Derive US Airways reaction function Derive the market equilibrium quantity, Q*, price, p*, and Profit.

4. A vertically integrated automobile company has an upstream engine division and a downstream assembly division. The demand for the company's cars is given by Q = 20-P. Each car requires one engine. The downstream division's total cost of assembling cars is TCD(Q) = 4Q. The upstream division's total cost of producing engines is TCv (Q) = Q². (a) Suppose that there is no outside market for engines. What is the price and quantity of cars produced by the company? (b) Suppose that there is no outside market for engines. What should be the transfer price for engines?

Total cost functions for the two companies are ??C= 25,000 +100?C 2 ??D = 20,000 + 125?D c.

wo firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in the industry that manufacture this product. Their marginal cost (MC) is equal to their average cost (AC) and it is constant at MC = AC = X, for both firms. Market demand is given as Q = Y – 2P (where P = price and Q = quantity). Select any value for X between [21 – 69] and any value for Y between [501 – 999].

Consider a market with the demand curve Q(P) = 3700– 100P. Two companies compete in Bertrand setting, where the first company has a marginal cost of $10 and a capacity of 100 units, and the second firm has a marginal cost of $20 and a capacity of 1000 units. Assume that fixed costs are zero. a) Show that both firms will sell in this market at a price above $20. b) Assume that the first firm is capacity constrained. From the perspective of the second firm, find the quantity sold in the market and the price set by the second firm. c) Now, using the result from the previous part, from the perspective of the first firm, find the quantity sold in the market and the respective price set by the first firm.
