Ilia is driving home from work. She needs to buy gas and notices an Exxon-Mobil station on one side of the street and a Shell station on the other side of the street. Although run by different companies, the two stations sell gasoline at the same price. a. The most likely reason that the price is the same is that _gas stations always make a profit, so they can charge any price they want. _drivers need gas and are willing to pay whatever price a gas station charges. _government regulation requires both gas stations to charge the same price. _consumers view gasoline from different gas stations as perfect substitutes. b. If one station increases its price, _it will be fined by the government. _it will sell more gasoline. _it will make a higher profit. _it will lose customers to the cheaper station across the street.

Assuming that the price is greater than the average variable cost, a monopolist maximizes profits at the output for which (picture a graph): O price is equal to marginal revenue in the downward part of the marginal cost curve O marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue in the upward sloping part of the marginal cost curve O average variable cost and average total cost are in the downward part of their curves and price is equal to marginal cost O average total cost is at the lowest point
The following table shows the daily demand schedule for round-trip train commutes between Dallas and Los Angeles for travelers: Demand Schedule of Business Travelers Price QD $1,100 310 $810 510 $510 810 $310 1,100 Suppose a train line's marginal cost per seat for the round-trip is $300. For profit-maximization, how much should the train-line charge per round-trip? Show your process using the half-way rule of Marginal Revenue for a monopoly.
Show that if Pete increases production by 100 utensils he will earn more profit, assuming that Pat sticks with the quantity you found above, which is half of what would be produced if the industry were controlled by a monopoly. Next, calculate what profit each would make if Pat also cheats by producing 100 more utensils. Assuming that they both calculate that the other will "cheat" and produce at this higher amount, would either have an incentive to further overproduce? What would happen to either seller's profit by producing another 100 more units? If cheating beyond this point will drive down one's own profit, and thus is not in anyone's interest, could this point be called a "Nash" equilibrium?
Kate and Alice are small-town ready-mix concrete duopolints. The market demand tunction is o- 20,000 - 200Pwhere Pis the price of a cubic yard of concrete and Ois the number of cubic yards demanded per year. Marginal cost is sa0 per cubic yard. Suppose Kate onters the market first and chooses her output belore Alice. What is the difference in Alice's profit when Kata enters the market tirst, compared to when they simultanecusly select ther outputa? When Kate entors the markat first, Alice's profit is $3,888.a0 lower. O When Kate enters the market fest, Alice's profit is 513,333.33 lower. O When Kate enters the market first, Alice's profit is $5,000 lower. O When Kate onters the market first, Alice's proft is $1.111.11 higher,
