It also previously raised its price from $20 to $29, rivals ignored the price hike, and the firm's daily total revenue came in at $550. Which of the following is most logical to conclude? The firm's demand curve is (Click to select) < Prev Ne 28 of 50Breakdown of a cartel agreement Consider a town in which only two residents, Sean and Yvette, own wells that produce water safe for drinking.

O true O false e. In the short term, a monopolistic competitor will make a profit if the demand curve is above the average total cost curve at some point. true false5) Suppose a monopoly produces film and cameras. Consumers demand pictures, which require film and one camera. Two different types of consumers have the following demand for film, qà = 100 - 10p and q = 80 - 10p. The monopoly cannot price discriminate in the market for film or the market for cameras, but it can bundle the products. The monopoly produces film at a constant marginal cost of $1 per roll. What price will the monopoly set for film and for cameras?2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b.

- 5. We are more tolerant of the deadweight loss from monopolistic competition than that of monopoly because monopolistically competitive firms Have a smaller deadweight loss Make zero profit in the long run Charge less than the profit-maximizing price Produce a differentiated product а. b. C. d.2. The market for EpiPens Consider the pharmaceutical company Mylan that produces epinephrine injection devices called EpiPens. In the presence of other firms producing substitutes for this good, the price of EpiPens is $150. Now suppose that competitors to Mylan no longer produce epinephrine injection devices, so Mylan now has pricing power in this market. As the economist on staff at Mylan, you are charged with the task of figuring out what your company's new pricing strategy should be. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), which is assumed to be constant, and the average total cost (ATC) of Mylan. The graph also shows the demand curve (D) for EpiPens and the marginal revenue curve (MR) once the firm has market power. On the graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the quantity of EpiPens demanded if Mylan continues to charge $150. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.Given your understanding of the various market structures, use the information contained in the diagram below to answer the following questions.
