Two firms X and Y compete with each other. Firm X can produce one of three products X1, X2, or X3. Similarly, firm Y can produce one of three products Y1, Y1, and Y3. Each firm's profit depends on its own and its competitor's decision about which product to produce. These profits are given in the table below where each cell presents profits corresponding to a pair of chosen strategies with the first number being the profit of firm X and the second being the profit of firm Y. For example, if X chooses to produce X3 and Y chooses to produce Y1, the profit of X will be $15 and the profit of Y will be $20. The firms make their product choice decisions simultaneously and independently of each other.

First Mover Advantage Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow. When to make a strategic move is often as crucial as what move to make. Timing is especially important when first-mover advantages and disadvantages exist. Under certain conditions, being first to initiate a strategic move can have a high payoff in the form of a competitive advantage that later movers cannot dislodge. Moving first is no guarantee of success, however, since first movers also face some significant disadvantages. Indeed, there are circumstances in which it is more advantageous to be a fast follower or even a late mover. Because the timing of strategic moves can be consequential, it is important for company strategists to be aware of the nature of first-mover advantages and disadvantages and the conditions favoring each type of move. The goal of this exercise is for you to understand when being a first mover, a fast follower, or a late mover is most advantageous. Companies…

Janeek and Raj are the only two growers who provide organically grown com to a local grocery store. They know that if they cooperated and produced less com, they could raise the price of the corn. If they work independently, they will each earn $100. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, they can each earn $150. if one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $0 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn $200. Reference the game illustrated below where the first payout in each cell is for Janeek and the second is for Raj.

Mike and Sophie are splitting up and need to decide who will get the car they purchased together. Using the method of sealed bids, Mike bids $5,000 and Sophie bids $4,500 for the car. Since Mike's bid is higher, he gets the car, and has to compensate Sophie with cash. How much will he have to pay Sophie in order to keep the division fair?
(1) Two firms (A and B) that produce timber products pollute a local forest with pesticides used to grow trees. Currently, firm A releases 100 pounds of pesticide waste into the forest per month, while firm B releases 140 pounds of pesticide waste into forest per month. The table below shows the cost of reducing pesticide waste by increments of 10 pounds for each firm. For each firm, reductions beyond 50 pounds would be virtually impossible to accomplish and expensive if it is to stay in business, because some pesticide must be used. Total cost of reducing Firm A pesticide waste by 10 pounds 20 pounds 30 pounds 40 pounds 50 pounds Firm B $6 $4 $18 $12 $36 $24 $60 $40 $90 $64 Suppose the government wants to reduce pesticide waste level to 180 pounds. That is, the government wants to reduce pesticide waste from its current monthly level to 180 pounds per month. To achieve this goal, the government decides to issue permits to pollute. A total of 18 permits are issued, where each permit…
Table 3. This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide how much output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A. Profit for Firm B). Firm A Q=5 Q=6 Firm B Q=5 (24, 24) (30, 10) Q=6 (10,30) (19, 19) Refer to Table 3. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce Select one: O a. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. b. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. c. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. d. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.

= Two firms sell substitutable products; the market price is: P = 90-Q, where Q Q₁ + Q₂ is the total market quantity, which consists of Q₁ (the quantity produced by Firm 1) and Q₂ (the quantity produced by Firm 2). The firms choose their quantities simultaneously. Firm 1's costs are C₁ = 10- 6Q₁ +Q². Firm 2's costs are C₂ = Q². Which is the best response function for Firm 2? O O O O Q₂ = 15. 1 Q₂ = 30 - ²0₁₁ 3 Q₂ = 42 + ²³² Q₁₁ 2 = 1. 3 Q₂ = 45. What is the equilibrium market quantity Q? O Q = 15.25. O Q = 30. Q = 46.5. O Q = 50. What is the equilibrium market price P? O P = 90. O P = 60. O P = 43.5. O P = 10.
Suppose that there are two firms in the market. The market demand is given by P=220 - 2Q, where Q is the total output (Q=Q1+Q2). Each firm has an identical cost function, TCi=8Qi, i=1, 2. Consider the collusion, in which they decide the output level together to maximize the joint profit. If they divide the production into half, then each firm should produce Qi= _______ units in order to maximize the joint profit.
16-1. Two equal sized newspaper have an overlap in circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspaper). Advertisers are willing to pay $10 to advertise in one newspaper but only $19 to advertise in both , because they’re are unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscribers. What’s the likely bargaining negotiation outcome if the advertisers bargain by telling each newspaper that they’re going to reach an agreement with the other newspaper so the gains to reaching agreement are only $9? Suppose the two newspaper merge. What is the likely post merger bargaining outcome?
