Consider the long-run equilibrium in a monopolistically competitive market. Which of the following alternatives is correct? (a) Price is equal to marginal cost (b) The equilibrium is cost-efficient: Firms produce at the minimum of the average cost curve (c) The equilibrium is welfare-efficient: There is no deadweight loss (d) There are no barriers to entry: Every firm earns zero profits
You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analytics department estimates that a typical consumer's inverse demand function for your firm's product is P = 350-20Q, and your cost function is C(Q) = 70Q. a. Determine the optimal two - part pricing strategy. Per-unit fee: $ Fixed fee: $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per- unit price? $
2nd degree price discrimination is efficient because the monopolist manages to successfully separate the different types of consumers. True or False?
What are the Benefits (advantages) and Limitations ( disadvantages) of Arbitrage Pricing Theory model
If a firm sets its output in the short run such that marginal revenue, marginal cost and average total cost are equal, then profits are the firm is monopolistically competitive. if the firm is perfectly competitive and profits are if zero; positive zero ; zero positive ; zero positive ; positive
Assume the figure on the right shows the cost structure for a monopolistically competitive firm selling a particular brand of shoes. MC is the marginal cost curve and AC is the average cost curve. If this firm produces 2 thousand pairs of shoes, does it minimize average cost? How much more would they need to produce to reach minimum average cost? The firm needs to produce an additional thousand pairs of shoes to reach minimum average cost. (Enter your response as an integer.) SEED Price (dollars per pair) 80- 72- 64- 56- 48- 40- 32- 24- 16- 8- 0- 0 1 Quantity (in thousands) MC AG 10 Q 20
Complete the following table by matching each of the scenarios to the concept of resale price maintenance, predatory pricing, or bundling. Resale Price Maintenance Predatory Pricing Scenario Citron is a firm that manufactures electric scooters. Suppose Citron sells its electric scooters to online retailers for $830 each and requires those online retailers to charge at least $840 to shoppers for each electric scooter. Hynes sells a wide variety of condiments to retail grocery stores. Hynes recently developed two new condiments: a popular barbacuffalo and a much less popular green ketchup. Hynes requires grocery stores to order 10 bottles of the green ketchup for every 100 bottles of the barbacuffalo bought. Warm Winds is the only firm producing air fryers. It costs $430 to produce one air fryer, and Warm Winds sells each air fryer for $850. After Sirocco, a new firm with the same costs as Warm Winds, enters the market for air fryers, Warm Winds starts selling its air fryers for a price…
Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.75 per can. Your friend Rajiv says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the…
I understand how to compute the revenue but I'm stuck on computing the elasticity.
