- How do oligopolies harm society, and what legislations(in the UK) are in place to protect the process of competition? Also, explain why oligopolies cannot maintain monopoly profits and provide an example drawing on prisoner’s dilemma within a specific industry of your choice. (approx. 800 words)J Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Permission is granted to reproduce for classroom use. NAME DATE CLASS Math Practice for Economics Comparing Prices among Competitors networks Background information: The candy industry in the United States could be defined as an oligopoly because just three companies make 99.4% of snack size chocolates. The big three companies are Hershey's, Mars, and Nestle. All three companies use much of the same ingredients, so how do they compete against one another? This is primarily done through price. Directions: The two tables below show what a snack size chocolate costs from the various candy makers, big and small. Read the table below. Then, answer the following questions using the information in the table. 110 ct bag $18.12 = 16 cents each Walmart Amazon Hershey's 215 ct. bag $13.88 = 6 cents each 100 ct. bag $12.81 = 13 cents each Mars 230 ct. bag $13.88 = 6 cents each Nestle 70 ct. bag $8.98 = 13 cents each 55 pc. Bag $17.96 = 33 cents each Candy…COURSE: MICROECONOMICS LEVEL 2 COURSE: MICROECONOMICS LEVEL 2 Consider a company A operating in an oligopoly which has a market share of 20% and a unit cost of $50. It currently sells at a price (P) of $52.9 with a price elasticity of demand of -3.5. This company will merge with company D, so that market share will reach 50%. Estimate impact of this operation on selling price under 2 scenarios:(a) With economies of scale, given the merger. Cost reduction of 15%.b) Without economies of scale, constant cost of 50%.c) How much does market power of merged company change, considering with and without economies of scale?
- Question-4 (Duopoly) There are two firms in the pumpkin industry: C and S. The demand function for pumpkins is q = 3, 2001, 600p. The total number of pumpkins sold at the market is q =qc+qs, where qc is the number that C firm sells and qs is the number that S firm sells. The cost of producing pumpkins for either firm is $0.50 per pumpkin no matter how many pumpkins they produces. 1. Every spring, each of the firms decides how many pumpkins to grow. They both know the local demand function and they each know how many pumpkins were sold by the other firm last year. In fact, each firm assumes that the other firm will sell the same number this year as its sold last year. So, for example, if firm S sold 100 pumpkins last year, firm C believes that firm S will sell 100 pumpkins again this year. If firm S sold 100 pumpkins last year, what does firm C think the price of pumpkins will be if firm C sells 1,200 pumpkins this year? 2. Suppose that in year 1, firm C produced 200 pumpkins and firm S…Image uploaded answer is strictly prohibitedOnly typed answer 1. Why do oligopolies exist? A.

How might the ease of entry into their industry influence how much they charge?(REAL-WORLD APPLICATION) You are NOT required to read the oligopoly chapter in the textbook, but you already know quite a lot about it from our discussion of strategic interactions using game theory in weeks 2-3. This market structure is between monopoly and monopolistic competition, with only a handful of firms having a high degree of market power. Let's refresh your memory with the following example. Assume that the Australian low-cost airline industry consists of two firms and their situation can be represented by the following payoff matrix. Tigar Air Nothing Low Price More Advertising 0, 16 6, 6 Nothing 10, 10 2, 14 Jetstar Low Price 16, 0 12, 4 More Advertising 14, 2 4, 12 8, 8 a. Before solving the game, put yourself in the position of Jetstar and write down your action. Then independent of that, put yourself in the position of Tiger Air and write down your action. b. State all the dominated strategies in the full game, by which strategy they are dominated, and whether weakly or…
