Firm X is going to apply a 2nd degree price discrimination. They plan to charge P1 for the first units and P2 for the subsequent units. The inverse market demand curve is P=100 -0.4q, and the total cost function is TC = 10q + 130. Answer the following questions: 4. the quantities (q1 & q2) the firm is going to sell after applying 2nd price discrimination are: (27 O q1=300 and q2 =150 O q1=75 and q2 =150 O q1=150 and q2 =300 O qt=150 and q2 =75

COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibrium
The demand for home firm product is given by the inverse demand function: P = 120 −QD. The company’s costs are: T C = 20Q+ 200 and MC = $20.2. Suppose the home country open up to free trade and a foreign competitor enters the market. Assume thatthe foreign firm has the same cost structure as the home firm (the monopoly from the previous question).A) Derive the best response function for each firm (h-home and f-foreign)B) Find each firms’ output, the home market price, and each firms’ profit from the home market
A monopoly company has a demand curve that can be shown as P = 3 000 - 100Q. It has fixed costs of R1 000 and additional cost per unit produced of R200. 1. a) What is the total cost equation? [2] 2. b) What is the marginal cost equation? [2] 3. c) What is the total revenue equation? [2]
мсо 20 A profit-maximising firm produces homogenous (identical) units of output at a constant marginal cost and the units can be sold in two distinct market segments, which are segments A and B. On the assumption that the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is lower in market segment A than it is in market segment B, if the firm decides to exercise price discrimination, we would expect to observe: A Ido not want to answer this question. В a higher price in market segment A to reflect the lower price elasticity the same price in both market segments since the marginal cost of production is the same for both markets and profits are maximised at MR = MC in both C markets D a higher price in market segment B to reflect the higher price elasticity E MR MC in market segment B because the higher elasticity allows a mark up of marginal revenue over marginal cost
1. It is 1908 and you are the CEO of Ford Motor Company. General Motors startedproducing cars this year and has quickly become your chief rival. Their recent entrance, as wellas your assembly line methods, allows you the advantage of producing cars faster and choosingyour output levels first. Assume the 1908 inverse demand function for cars is P = 3900 - Q(customers view cars as identical products at this point in time) and production costs are C(qi) =100qi. a. What is Ford’s profit-maximizing output level? GM's?b. What is the market equilibrium price?c. How much profit does each firm earn?d. As the assembly line is used by other firms, the first-mover advantage disappears (fast forward100 years to present day), and more firms have entered the market (e.g. FCA, Tesla, Hyundai,Toyota, Honda, etc.), what do you expect to happen to Ford’s profit (assume demand andcosts are the same)? Explain.e. From 1908 into the 1920s, Ford offered customers one car: the Model T. Further, Henry isfamous…

As the new general manager of the Grand Palladium Jamaica luxury all-inclusive resort, youare assessing your pricing policies. Currently, the price of a weekend stay is $2,000 perguest. You estimate the marginal cost of serving a guest at $1,600, and while yourpredecessor unfortunately did not leave you data from the pricing experiments and testmarketing she performed, you do know that such experiments were done, and that yourpredecessor was competent.a. What is your best estimate of the elasticity of demand for a weekend stay at the GrandPalladium?b. Your learned that at the current price, the resort is only 80% full on the weekends.Remembering the sense of belonging that you experienced in a crowded subway duringthe rush hour, you contemplate lowering the price so the resort is completely full. What isyour back-of-the-envelope calculation for how much you need to lower the price?c. After some thought you cooled to the idea of full occupancy. Instead, you focused yourenergy and…
Natural-ExP is a unique company that is dedicated to making day trips to the Nevado de Toluca. The service includes transportation, food and guide service. Being the number of tickets sold, if the cost function of serving a new customer is Cmg = 20q, the marginal revenue function Img = 600−40q and the demand is q = (600 − p) /20. Under this scenario, what is the price of the excursion. $400 $600 $300 $100
AmonopolysellsitsproductinboththeU.S.andJapanese markets. The American inverse demand function is PUS = 100 – QUS, and the Japanese inverse demand function is PJ = 80 – QJ. PUS and PJ are both measured in dollars. The firm’s marginal cost is MC = 20 in both countries. Suppose the company can prevent resales between these two countries. In order to maximize its profit, what prices should the monopoly firm charge in the two markets?
