Problem 19 A publishing company has a monopoly in the sales of football cards. According to its estimates, the company's inverse demand function is p = 0.4-0.01q. The company's marginal cost is constant at £0.08. Suppose that the company wants to sell football cards in albums only. Using such a block pricing approach, what will be optimal price that the firm needs to set to maximize its profits? a) £5.12 b) £7.68 c) £2.56 d) £15.36 e) £3.84
11. Consider the interaction between a retailer and a manufacturer. The manufacturer's marginal cost is 2 and it sets the price p in the first stage of the game. The retailer purchases the product from the manufacturer at this price (so the retailer treats p as its marginal cost) and sells the product at price r in the second stage of the game (this makes the retailer's profit function (r p)g). The market demand is q = 12 – 2r. What will be the prices set by the manufacturer and by the retailer?
