3. The components of marginal revenueAlex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially,Alex produced six fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to seven fire engines.The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additionalengine, Alex must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alexgains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial six enginebecause he sells them all at the lower price.Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost fromthe initial six engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle(triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additionalengine at $50,000.PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fire engine)250225200175150125100755025Alex012 3 4 5QUANTITY (Fire engines)O TrueFalse6Demand78 9 10Revenue LostRevenue Gained?increase production from 6 to 7 fire engines because thedominates in this scenario.True or False: If Alex's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $100,000 were themarket price for an engine, decreasing its price from $100,000 to $50,000 would result in adecrease in the production quantity, but an increase in total revenue.

5. Foreign direct investment versus licensing Giocattolo is a profit-maximizing firm producing toy cars-a capital-intensive good-which are sold in its home country, Italy, and abroad in Spain. Giocattolo chose foreign production as a method of penetrating the Spanish market and has to decide whether it is more efficient to directly invest in Spain to establish a production subsidiary or to license the technology to a Spanish firm to produce its goods. On the following graph, AVC Spain is the average variable cost curve of a Spanish firm producing toy cars. (This curve represents costs such as labor and materials.) The curve ATC subsidiary represents the total unit costs Giocattolo will face if it establishes a subsidiary in Spain.

Max barbershop is considering raining prices by $5 per haircut. Their current price for a cut is $23 abd babers receive 50% of the revenues for each haircut. Since Max is concerned about demand dropping due to the price increase, he is also planning to start advertising the shop on TV for $895 month. If current fixed cost are $11,576/month the current profit is $2000/month by what percent can demand decrease at the new price level and maintain current levels of profit on the business?
Economics Question
If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of rhenium would be $___ per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would (shut down/ earn a positive profit/ operate at a loss/ earn zero profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would (enter/ exit/ neither enter nor exit) the rhenium market. Because you know that competitive firms earn (zero/ positive/ negative) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $____ per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be (10/ 20/ 30) firms operating in the rhenium industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Assuming implicit costs are positive, each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns positive accounting profit. - True - False
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.

O. Option 1: shifts the demand curve out and increases the price. O. Option 2: shifts the supply curve up and increases the price O. Option 2: it shifts the demand curve up and increases the quantity. O. Option 2: shifts the supply curve up and increases the quantity.

You are managing a firm with market power, and you think the price elasticity of demand for your product is between 1.3 and 1.5. You estimate that your marginal cost is between $55 and $70. The price that you should set would range between $ and $. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) If you refine your estimate of the marginal cost to $80, the price you should set would now range between $ and $ (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
Compute the equilibrium prices, quantities, and profits for both firms. Consider now the first stage.
