- Two firms, Incumbent & Entrant, can produce the same good. The market demand for the good is given by P = 180 – Q, where P is the market price and Q is the market quantity demanded. The firms must pay w = 45 per unit of output for labour and r = 45 per unit of output for capital (one unit of capital is used per unit of output), but Incumbent may choose capacity KI units of capital before Entrant decides whether to enter the market. Suppose firms each have fixed costs FI =600, FE=500. Incumbent chooses (as a Stackelberg leader) capacity KI equal to the monopoly profit- maximizing quantity. When you answer the following questions, show your work. a. Would Incumbent be able to prevent entry by choosing capacity KI equal to the monopoly profit-maximizing quantity? Explain. b. What is the Incumbent’s equilibrium choice of capacity KI in this Dixit game? c. Does the Incumbent’s choice of capacity KI in part (b) qualify as predatory conduct (here, limit output)? Explain.When the number of competing firms is small in a market, is this market necessarily different from a perfectly competitive market in terms of market power and efficiency? Develop your in-depth analysis and argument on the basis of relevant economic theory or models. Also discuss and explain how market power can empirically and practically (from a competition policy point of view) be assessed.Dear tutor, I would be glad if you solve this question with its detailed explanation. Thank you so much!!

How much of the change in demand for X is the income effect and how much is the substitution effect? (c) How much is compensating variation for the price change described in part (b)? (d) How much is equivalent variation for the price change described in part (b)? ( Please solve all the subparts ASAP I will give you thumbs up . )In India, Cisco’s market share of the Ethernet switch and router market is approximately 67 percent. Juniper and HP each have market shares of about 6.5 percent, and several other firms have somewhat smaller market shares. Draw a diagram showing the equilibrium in this dominant firm market. Identify the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity produced by the dominant firm and the competitive fringe firms. Illustrate what happens to the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity produced by the dominant firm and the competitive fringe firms if additional fringe firms enter the marketb) Consider 2 firms, firm 1 and firm 2, who manufacture close but not perfect substitutes in the sense that the products are slightly differentiated. The demand curve for each firm is given by 91 = 1000-2P₁ + P₂ 92 = 1000-2P₂ + P₁ Their total cost functions are given as: TC₁ = 100q₁ TC₂ = 10092 i) ii) iii) iv) Determine the equilibrium price, output and profit for each firm assuming that they move simultaneously Determine the equilibrium price, output and profit for each firm assuming that firm 1 moves first and firm 2 afterwards Suppose the two firms collude, determine the equilibrium price, output and profit for each firm Construct a prisoner's dilemma scenario and determine the Nash equilibrium
- A market consists of a dominant firm and a number of fringe firms. The followings are the information about these firms. Total market demand: QALL=300 – (2.5) P The competitive fringe supply function (total): QF=2P-12 The dominant firms marginal cost function: MC = 12 + (1⁄2) QD. a) What is the equilibrium price set by the dominant firm? b) How much will the competitive fringe supply to the market at the price found in question (a)? Show the answers graphically.Q5) Distinguish between marginal pricing and cost-plus pricing.In October 2018 Canada agree to open the dairy market to US producers as part of the new NAFTA agreement (USMCA). Use the following information to find the price and the number of firms in each country's market, and the price and number of firms in the aggregate market.

- Three firms sell related products in a market. Their supply functions are 9₁ = P₁ 92= 2 P₂ = P3 The firms face the following demands =-5-4 P₁ +6P₂ +3 P3 9-58 +5 P₁-P₂ + 4 P3 q=54+4 P₁ + 4 P₂-2 P3 Given the above supply and demand functions, what price must each firm charge to equate supply and demand? P₁ P₂= Number P3 Number Number2Problem 2: Presently, APlus Transport and Big Movers are the only suppliers of services that haul heavy construction equipment between jobs within the Midwest. No other suppliers have the equipment necessary to perform the service. The market inverse demand for these hauling services is given below. P = 4,030-4Q where P is price per trip and Q is total number of trips per year. For simplicity, also assume that neither firm has fixed costs. From company records, you are given the following variable cost function for each firm: a. C. TVC = 300 TVCB = 80QB b. Calculate the Cournot market equilibrium price-output solutions for each firm including their respective profits. d. Assume these two competitors operate as a two-firm Cournot duopoly. Find the reaction functions for each firm. Suppose Big Movers shuts down operations so that APlus now has a monopoly in this market. What is the price, quantity, and profits for APlus after this change? Summarize the results of your findings over the…
