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. In the normal from representation, construct the pay-off matrix, where the elements of each cell of the matrix are the two firms’ profits.

The monthly demand for Williams Tchotchkes (q measured in 1000s of tchotchkes) depends on the price that they set for their tchotchkes (p measured in dollars), the average price of substitutes for their tchotchkes (p, also measured in dollars), and the average monthly disposable income in the market for tchotchkes (y measured in $1000s). The current prices are p = $10 and p₁ = $11, the current monthly demand for Williams Tchotchkes is 8000 tchotchkes and the current average monthly disposable income in the tchotchkes market is $3500. Furthermore, it is known that Əq Op p=10 Pg=11 y=3.5 = -0.31, Əq aps P=10 Pg=11 y=3.5 = 0.44 and Əq dy p=10 Pg=11 y=3.5 = 0.72. Scenario 1: Suppose that p increases by $0.20, p, increases by $0.35 (from their current values), and income doesn't change. In this scenario, monthly demand for Williams Tchotchkes' monthly will [Select] , and Williams Tchotchkes' monthly revenue will [Select] Scenario 2: Now (instead) suppose that average monthly income in the…
Medication Medication A is given six times per day,and medication B is given twice per day. MedicationC is given once every two days, and its dosage is1/2 the sum of the dosages of the other two medications.For a certain patient, the total intake of the threemedications is limited to 28.7 milligrams on days when all three medications are given. If the ratio ofthe dosage of medication A to the dosage of medicationB is 2 to 3, how many milligrams are in each dosage?
Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 pounds of cast iron and 6 minutes of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 pounds of cast iron and 3 minutes of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $1.75, and the profit for each model B grate is $1.25. Available for grate production each day are 1000 pounds of cast iron and 20 labor-hours. Because of an excess inventory of model A grates, management has decided to limit the production of model A grates to no more than 180 grates per day.

OHaganBooks.com generates revenue through it o'Books e-book service. Author royalties and copyright fees cost the company $3 per novel, and the monthly cost of operating and maintaining the service amounts to $876. The company is currently charging customers $8 per novel. Find the associated cost, revenue, and profit functions and use them to determine how many novels must be sold in order to make a profit. (Hint: If the break-even is where they make no profit, you must round up to make a profit.) To make a profit they must sell at least:

XYZ Corporation operates two plants, each of which has a capacity of 200 units per day. Each day, XYZ must ship their product to each of four customers. Customers A, B, and C each have a demand of 17 units per day while customer D has a demand of 349 units per day. The cost of shipping one unit of each product from each of the two plants to each of the customers is shown in the table below. Customer A Customer B Customer C Customer D Plant 1 25 19 12 14 Plant 2 15 21 23 20 How many units should XYZ ship from each plant to each customer?

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. Derive the dominant strategy equilibrium of this game. Explain why this is an example of the prisoners’ dilemma game.
