7. Breakdown of a cartel agreementConsider a town in which only two residents, Clancy and Eileen, own wells that produce water safe for drinking. Clancy and Eileen can pump and sellas much water as they want at no cost. For them, total revenue equals profit. The following table shows the town's demand schedule for water.PriceQuantity Demanded Total Revenue(Dollars per gallon)(Gallons of water)(Dollars)6.00005.5045$247.505.0090$450.004.50135$607.504.00180$720.003.50225$787.503.00270$810.002.50315$787.502.00360$720.001.50405$607.501.00450$450.000.50495$247.5005400Suppose Clancy and Eileen form a cartel and behave as a monopolist. The profit-maximizing price is $per gallon, and the total outputisgallons. As part of their cartel agreement, Clancy and Eileen agree to split production equally. Therefore, Clancy's profit is$and Eileen's profit is $Suppose that Clancy and Eileen have been successfully operating as a cartel. They each charge the monopoly price and sell half of the monopolyquantity. Then one night before going to sleep, Clancy says to himself, "Eileen and I aren't the best of friends anyway. If I increase my production to45 gallons more than the cartel amount, I can increase my profit even though her profit goes down. I will do that starting tomorrow."to $and Eileen's profit becomes SAfter Clancy implements his new plan, the price of waterClancy's profit becomes $per gallon. Given Eileen and Clancy's production levels,Because Clancy has deviated from the cartel agreement and increased his output of water to 45 gallons more than the cartel amount, Eileen decidesthat she will also increase her production to 45 gallons more than the cartel amount.After Eileen increases her production, Clancy's profit becomes $sum of the profits of Clancy and Eileen) is now $Eileen's profit becomes $, and total profit (the

A town of 2,000 households constitutes a market for eggs. Current sales are 2400 dozen eggs per week at a price of $1.25 per dozen. 1200 households living on the west side of the river buy1600 dozen eggs and their elasticity of demand is -1.5. The remaining households live on the east side of the river, buy the rest of the eggs and have an elasticity of demand of -3. Calculate the elasticity of market demand curve for the town as a whole.
