Question

Firms Alpha and Beta serve the same market. They have constant average costs of $2 per unit. The firms can choose either a high price ($10) or a low price ($5) for their output. When both firms set a high price, total demand is 10,000 units which is split evenly between the two firms. When both set a low price, total demand is 18,000, which is again split evenly. If one firm sets a low price and the second a high price, the low priced firm sells 15,000 units, the high priced firm only 2,000 units. Analyze the pricing decisions of the two firms as a non-cooperative game.

A company manufactures two types of washers, top load and front load. The company can manufacture a maximum of 18 washers per day. It makes a profit of $20 on top load machines and $25 on front load machines. No more than 5 front load machines can be manufactured due to production restrictions. To meet consumer demand, the company must manufacture at least 2 front load machines and 2 top load machines per day. What is the maximum profit?
The quantity demanded of a certain model of a VCR is 8000 units when the unit price is $260. As the unit price decreases by $3, the number of VCRs demanded increases by 100 units. The manufacturer will not market any VCRs if the price is $100 or lower. However, for each $50 increase in the unit price above $100, the manufacturer will market an additional 1000 units. Demand: (8000, 260), (8100, 257) Provide the equations for the linear demand and supply functions: Also, define the variables. D(x) is the price the consumer is willing to spend when purchasing x number of VCRs. S(x) is the price the manufacture is willing to sell x number of VCRs Answer: D(x) = (-3/100)X + 500 and S(x) = (5/100)X + 100
A farmer can buy two types of plant food, mix A and mix B. Each cubic yard of mix A contains 20 pounds of phosphorus acid, 30 grams of nitrogen, and 5 pounds of potash. Each cubic yard of mix B contains 10 pounds of phosphorus acid, 30 pounds of nitrogen, and 10 pounds of potash. The minimum monthly requirements are 430 pounds of phosphorus acid, 930 pounds of nitrogen, and 200 pounds of potash. If mix A cost $20 per cubic yard and mix B cost $35 per cubic yard: a. How many cubic yards of each mix should the farmer blend to meet the minimum monthly requirements at a minimum cost? b. What is this cost?

A product may be made using Machine I or Machine II. The manufacturer estimates that the monthly fixed costs of using Machine I are $18,000, and the monthly fixed costs of using Machine II are $15,000. The variable costs of manufacturing 1 unit of the product using Machine I is $15, and the variable costs of manufacturing 1 unit of the product using Machine II is $20.

Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in these two markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) Determine the company’s total profit function. Also, (i) What are the profit maximizing levels of price and output for the two markets? (ii) Calculate the marginal revenues in each market.
