One of the observations that has been made about the pricing of products produced in an industry where production is highly concentrated is that the costs of production can change up or down and yet prices do not change much. The Sweezy model was developed to explain this observation. Present a Sweezy model, show a cost change, and show that the optimal choice for the firm is to leave the product price unchanged. Provide words to explain the basic reason why the price does not move up or down as costs change.
Del's and Rodney's are two plumbing services in a gentrifying area of South East London. Within the area they service, the two firms operate as a duopoly and together serve one hundred percent of the available local market. One of their key lines of business is visiting customer's homes to install a new shower rail. A student project has been investigating the local plumbing business and has estimated the following information for Del's and Rodney's: Total demand for new shower rails per week is given by P = 200 - 4Q Where Q is total market demand and can be divided between Del's (qd) and Rodney's (qr) such that Q = qd + qr Assuming that the marginal cost of serving an extra customer is £40 for each, and that marginal revenue for Del is given by MRd 2008qd - 4qr And marginal revenue for Rodney is given by MRr Then 2008qr - 4qd 8 CONTINUED
Economics Question
Suppose there are two types of cable TV viewers. The first type places a high value on sports channels (e.g., ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Golf Channel) and a low value on all other channels. The second type places a high value on music channels (e.g., VH1, MTV3, and CMT) and a low value on all other channels. In this case, we would expect cable operators to: use fixed-cost pricing. use "à la carte" pricing. sell sports and music channels in one bundle to both types of viewers. sell only sports channels to the first type of viewers and sell only music channels to the second type of viewers.
Asim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Asim initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Asim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Asim must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Asim gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000.

[Suppose] A Cmpany is the sole provider of electricity in the various districts of Dubai. To meet the monthly demand for electricity in these districts, which is given by the inverse demand function: P = 1,200 − 4Q, the company has set up two electric generating facilities: Q1 kilowatts are produced at facility 1 and Q2 kilowatts are produced at facility 2; where Q = Q1 + Q2. The costs of producing electricity at each facility are given by C1(Q1) = 8,000 + 6Q1 C2(Q2) = 6,000 + 3Q2 + 5Q22 Calculate the profit maximizing output levels of each factory? What is the profit maximizing level of price? What is the maximum profit?
Homework(Ch 15) 7. Price discrimination and welfare Suppose Barefeet is a monopolist that produces and sells Ooh boots, an amazingly trendy brand with no close substitutes. The following graph sho the market demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves Barefeet faces, as well as its marginal cost (MC), which is constant at $30 per pair of Ooh boots. For simplicity, assume that fixed costs are equal to zero; this, combined with the fact that Barefeet's marginal cost is constant, means that marginal cost curve is also equal to the average total cost (ATC) curve. First, suppose that Barefeet cannot price discriminate. That is, it must charge each consumer the same price for Ooh boots regardless of the consumer's willingness and ability to pay. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Next, use the purple points (diamon symbol) to shade the profit, the green points (triangle symbol) to shade the consumer surplus, and the…
Jabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced five trucks, but then decided to increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial five engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $120,000.

The linear demand curve for Pete's butternut squash and pecan pastry is Quantity = 205.5 12.78 x Price. What is the maximum Revenue (calculated as Price x Quantity) that Pete's can earn on this product, given the demand curve? (Rounding: penny.)
Now, suppose that Barefeet can practice perfect price discrimination that is, it knows each consumer's willingness to pay for each pair of Ooh boots and is able to charge each consumer that amount. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing quantity sold and the lowest price at which the firm sells its boots. Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to shade the profit, the green points (triangle symbol) to shade the consumer surplus, and the black points (plus symbol) to shade the deadweight loss in this market with perfect price discrimination. (Note: If you decide that consumer surplus, profit, or deadweight loss equals zero, indicate this by leaving that element in its original position on the palette.)
