2. The state has announced its plans to license two firms to serve a market whose demand curve is Een by P=100-Q. The technology is such that each can produce any given level of output at zero t, but once each firm's output is chosen, it cannot be altered. What's the most you would be willing to pay for one of these licenses if you knew you would be able to choose your level of output first (Assuming your choice was observable by the rival firm)? b. How much would your rival be willing to pay for the right to choose second?

Question

2. The state has announced its plans to license two firms to serve a market whose demand curve
is Een by P=100-Q. The technology is such that each can produce any given level of output
at zero t, but once each firm's output is chosen, it cannot be altered.
What's the most you would be willing to pay for one of these licenses if you knew you
would be able to choose your level of output first (Assuming your choice was observable
by the rival firm)?
b. How much would your rival be willing to pay for the right to choose second?

How to see elasticity from the demand and supply function? Will this work in a monopoly/oligopoly? E.g. MWTP = 490-0.25Q, MC=2Q-1310 The elasticity for demand is -0.25, and supply is 2? Please explain
Consider a downstream monopolist producing a final good that requires two inputs in fixed proportions. Input 1 is produced by upstream monopolist U1 and input 2 is produced by upstream monopolist U2. Suppose that the demand function for the final product is linear and the marginal costs of production for the upstream producers and final producer (other than for the two inputs) are equal to zero. What is the effect of a merger between the two upstream producers? a) The merger reduces the quantity of the final product sold to consumers and the merged firm's profits. b) The merger reduces the quantity of the final product sold to consumers and increases the merged firm's profits c) The merger increases the quantity of the final product sold to consumers and the merged firm's profits. d) The merger increases the quantity of the final product sold to consumers and decreases the merged firm's profits. e) Cannot be determined given the information provided.

Pleasant Island has two natural gas wells, one owned by Mack and the other owned by Tom. Each well has a valve that controls the rate of flow of gas, and the marginal cost of producing gas is zero. The table below gives the demand schedule for gas on this island. Price (dollars per unit) $100 88888; 70 50 30 20 10 0 Quantity Demanded (units per day) If Mack and Tom form a cartel and maximize their joint profits, the price of gas on Pleasant Island will be $ If Mack and Tom are forced to sell at the perfectly competitive price, the price of gas on Pleasant Island will be $ 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 per unit.

Suppose that the quantity of natural gas demanded in a city is 70 billion cubic meters when the price is $0.24 per cubic meter. The table below shows the total costs for a firm supplying natural gas to this market. Is the firm a natural monopoly? Quantity (billion m³) 20 30 40 50 60 70 Total cost ($ billion) 4.5 6. 9.0 12.0 15.5 19.5 No, because two or more firms could satisfy the entire market demand at a lower total cost than a single firm can. No, because two or more firms could satisfy the entire market demand at a lower average total cost than a single firm can. Yes, because a single firm can satisfy the entire market demand at a lower total cost than two or more firms could. Yes, because a single firm can satisfy the entire market demand at a lower average total cost than two or more firms could.
The newly founded country of Cardamom, which has similar laws to the United States, has a wealthy government with plenty of resources to help them run the country; they also have extensive electricity generation knowledge and resources. Spark is a natural unregulated monopoly in the country of Cardamom, which currently controls the country's electricity supply and makes an annual profit of $250,000. Recently, Spark's outrageous electricity prices have led to riots and general public discontent. In response, the government is considering various public policies to decrease the inefficiency. Classify the suggestions based on whether the government recommendations are potentially plausible or not. Plausible actions by the government Implausible actions by the government Answer Bank The government regulates output at the point where marginal revenue = marginal cost. The government recommends Spark buying out and merging with the country's public education system. The government tells Spark…
1) A monopoly faces a demand curve P(Q) = 120 – 2Q, and has a marginal cost of 60. a. What is profit-maximizing level of output? What is the profit-maximizing price? How much profit the firm will make? b. Assume that a second firm enters the market. The new firm has an identical cost function. If the two firms enter in a Cournot competition, what will be the price in equilibrium? How much will each firm produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? c. If, instead, the two firms compete in a Stackelberg game (assume the incumbent firm is the leader), what will be the price in equilibrium? How much each firm will produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? d. Now assume the follower has to pay a fixed cost, f =100 if q>0. Does it change the follower's decision? Assume again they are playing a Stackelberg game.? e. The leader knows that the follower has to pay the fixed cost and decides produce one third more than the quantity found in part c). Does it…
Barney is a game designer but being old fashioned, he restricts his passion to creating board games. His latest game, Rubble Trouble, requires players to overcome various obstacles as they make their way around the board. Barney is concerned that others may copy his game. Based on your reading of the Business Law Textbook. Barney is best advised to protect his game by: Select one: a. Applying for a patent so that he is granted a monopoly over selling his game for 20 years. b. Registering his copyright, as copyright will protect his game for 50 years. Unless he registers his copyright, Barney will not be able to prevent others from copying his game. c. Registering a trademark. The trademark will prevent others from copying the game for 15 years, but trademarks are not renewable. d. Registering an industrial design, so that others will be prevented from creating board games of the same dimension and size.
The following diagram illustrates the demand curve facing a monopoly in an industry with no economies or diseconomies of scale and no fixed costs. In the short and long run, MC = ATC. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the monopoly output and monopoly price (Monopoly) in the figure to the right. Attach the appropriate provided label. 2.) Using the rectangle drawing tool, shade in monopoly profits (Profit). Attach the appropriate provided label. 3.) Using the triangle drawing tool, shade in the "excess burden" or "welfare costs" of the monopoly (Excess burden). Attach the appropriate provided label. Note: Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The monopoly creates excess burden because O A. it produces where price equals marginal cost. B. it produces an inefficiently large amount of output. O C. it charges a price that is too low. D. it produces where marginal cost is positive. E. it produces where price is above marginal cost.

There are two ice-cream parols on a beach. The dayly demand for ice-creams is given by Q = 3079 - 3p. The average variable cost of an ice-cream is 70, while the rent of the place is 966. How many ice-creams is the 'Leader' company selling if the two ice-cream stands operate as Stackelberg duopolists? (Please use 2 decimals in your answer.)
Do this problem using excel solver. Africa controls 80% of the world's lithium refining, a material needed for the production of lithium batteries in electric vehicles. The demand for lithium batteries is P = $20,000 - 2.5 Q, where Q is in tons and P is in $/ton. The long run marginal and average cost of production is constant at $2,000/ton. a) Assuming the monopoly model applies, determine price, quantity, and profit for Africa using excel solver b) Now assume new firms enter the lithium market, resulting in (perfect) competition. Determine the price, quantity, and profits, when the industry is in (long run) equilibrium using excel solver c) Finally, compare social welfare for the two cases, and determine deadweight loss using excel solver.
