The Potomac Range Corporation manufactures a line of microwave ovens costing $500 each. Its sales have averaged about 6,000 units per month during the past year. In August, Potomacs closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $600 to $450. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 4,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomacs oven and the competitive Spring City model? Would you say that these two firms are very dose competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is 3.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?
Igrushka is a profit-maximizing firm producing wooden dolls-a capital-intensive good-which are sold in its home country, Russia, and abroad in France. Igrushka chose foreign production as a method of penetrating the French market and has to decide whether it is more efficient to directly invest in France to establish a production subsidiary or to license the technology to a French firm to produce its goods. On the following graph, AVCFrance is the average variable cost curve of a French firm producing wooden dolls. (This curve represents costs such as labor and materials.) The curve ATCSubsidiary represents the total unit costs Igrushka will face if it establishes a subsidiary in France.

2. A refrigerator manufacturer is planning capacity expansions. They have determined that their capacity cost follows the equation below, where f(y) = kya, is the cost of a plant that can produce y units annually. f(y) = 0.0107y⁰.62 They have determined that when a = 0.62, using a = u/(e" - 1) gives a value u = 0.89. Their demand for refrigerators is growing at a rate of 5000 units annually, and they use a 16% interest rate for discounting. At the optimal capacity addition level, what does each capacity installation cost?
