Consider two gas stations. One is located at a major intersection used by people commuting from populousneighbourhoods to jobs located in the downtown area. The other is located on the outskirts of the city. Both gas stations sell high-grade or premium-grade gas for a higher price than low- grade or regular-grade gas. However, the gas station along the more congested route charges higher gas prices for all grades than the station on the outskirts of town. Product differentiation within and among these gas stations is based on which of the following? Check all that apply. Style Location Service Physical differences True or False: Positive short-run profit can occur as a result of advertising in a monopolistically competitive market.

The information in the table below shows the demand schedule for water in a certain small town. Assume the marginal cost of supplying water is constant at $4 per bottle. Price Quantity (bottles) $9 200 $8 400 $7 600 $6 800 $5 1000 $4 1200 $3 1400 $2 1600 (Note: You may want to extend this table to generate additional data. If you do, you need not submit the extended table.) 1. Suppose there is only one supplier of water in this market, what will be its price and quantity for water? (MAKE THE SOLUTIONS READABLE!!!) 2. If there are two suppliers of water in the market (Victor and Sam) and they are able to collude and successfully form a cartel and agree to divide the market evenly, what would be the price of water and what quantity of water will each firm sell? How much profit will each seller earn (show solution)? 3. Suppose the town enacts new antitrust laws that prohibit Victor and Sam from operating as a monopolist.…
[Suppose] A Cmpany is the sole provider of electricity in the various districts of Dubai. To meet the monthly demand for electricity in these districts, which is given by the inverse demand function: P = 1,200 − 4Q, the company has set up two electric generating facilities: Q1 kilowatts are produced at facility 1 and Q2 kilowatts are produced at facility 2; where Q = Q1 + Q2. The costs of producing electricity at each facility are given by C1(Q1) = 8,000 + 6Q1 C2(Q2) = 6,000 + 3Q2 + 5Q22 Calculate the profit maximizing output levels of each factory?

Q1. Suppose the government is considering an increase in the toll on a certain stretch of highway from $3 to $4. At present, 1 million cars per week use that highway stretch; after the toll is imposed, the number of cars per week will change according to its price elasticity of demand of -0.8 (this elasticity value is estimated based on the initial-value method). If the marginal cost of highway use is constant (i.e., the supply curve is horizontal) and equal to $3 per car, what is the net annual cost to society attributable to the increase in the toll? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest million dollars per year, i.e., no decimal places; there are 52 weeks in a year)

Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.

QUESTION 21 (Table: GoGo Gas and Fanny's Fantastic Fuel) Use Table: GoGo Gas and Fanny's Fantastic Fuel. The table shows a payoff matrix for GoGo Gas and Fanny's Fantastic Fuel in a small town. Each firm can set either a high price or a low price, and customers view both gas stations as nearly perfect substitutes. Profits in each cell of the payoff matrix are given as (GoGo's profit, Fanny's profit). If each firm sets the price independently, the Nash equilibrium outcome will be: Table: GoGo Gas and Fanny's Fantastic Fuel Fanny's Fantastic Fuel High Price S100, S100 $25, $150 $150, $25 Low Price High Price Low Price GoGo Gas $50, $50 O a $100, $100. b. $150, $25. c. $25, $150. d.
