A friend of yours is considering two movie - streaming services. Provider A charges $120 per year regardless of the number of movies streamed. Provider B does not have a fixed service fee but instead charges $1 per movie. Your friend's annual demand for movies is given by the equation Qd = 150 - 50P, where P is the price per movie. (a) With each provider, what is the cost to your friend of an extra movie? (b) In light of your answer to (a), how many movies with each provider would your friend watch? (c) How much would she end up paying each provider every year? (d) How much consumer surplus would she obtain with each provider? (Hint: Graph the demand curve and recall the formula for the area of a triangle.) (e) Which provider would you recommend that your friend choose? Why?

By 2030, Tesla is the dominant player in the market for self-driving cars, but it faces an entry threat by ACME Corporation. To examine its behavior toward competitors, suppose that Tesla produces q₁ and it incurs a cost of c₁ (91) = 69₁. ACME Corporation produces a self-driving car that is a perfect substitute for the Tesla vehicle, but its production costs are: c₂ (92) = 100+1292. Inverse demand for self-driving cars is given by p(Q) = 120-Q, where Q = 9₁ +92
