**Market Structure Analysis: Glyde Air Fresheners**Glyde Air Fresheners is a leading firm in the solid room aromatizer industry. The total market demand is expressed by the equation:\[ Q = 80 - 2P \]Glyde faces competition from four smaller firms (referred to as fringe firms) that produce where their individual marginal costs are equivalent to the market price. Each fringe firm has its total cost represented by the equation:\[ TC_i = 10Q_i + 2Q_i^2 \]Glyde’s own total cost is described by the equation:\[ TC_G = 100 + 6Q_G \]The main question posed is: **What are the total profits of the fringe firms?**To find the total profits of the fringe firms, we must consider their revenue, marginal costs, and total costs in relation to the market dynamics and competition presented by Glyde. Further analysis would require solving the equations for equilibrium price and quantity, and calculating the difference between total revenue and total costs for the fringe firms.

Glyde Air Fresheners is the dominant fırm in the solid room aromatizer industry, which has a total market demand given by Q = 80 – 2P. Glyde has competition from a fringe of four small firms that produce where their individual marginal costs equal the market price. The fringe firms each have total costs given by TC; = 10Q; + 2Q²;. If Glyde's total costs are given by TCG = %3D 100 + 6QG, what are the total profits of the fringe firms?

Qno3 AVAC is the only pharmaceutical firm producing a Vaccine. The Demand Curve for its product is Qd = 250 – 50 P where P is Price and Q are packs of vaccines in ‘000 Total Cost Function estimated by the firm is TC = 15 + 0.5Q where Q is monthly output. Required. a). What is the market structure of AVAC? State its characteristics. b). To maximize profit, i) What will be the optimum price and how many packs of Vaccine should the firm produce and sell per month? ii). If this number of packs is produced and sold, what will be the firm’s monthly profit? c). Using available information, draw AVAC’s demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost curves in a graph and clearly label thefirm’s profit maximizing price, quantity and profit. Do you observe any welfare loss? If so, also indicate and label the area on the graph.? d). Assume all other pharmaceutical firms in the market start producing the Vaccine and the market becomes competitive. What will…
1. The cost function for any potential firm in a manufacturing industry is C(y) = 2 + 8y + 2y? (if a firm exits the industry, then its cost is zero). The inverse market demand function is given by P(y) = 100 – 2y. (a) If there is only one firm in the industry (the firm is a monopolist), what is the optimal output and the markup of the firm in equilibrium?

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: O q1=300 and q2 =150 O q1=75 and q2 =150 O q1=150 and q2 =300 O qt=150 and q2 =75 5. the prices (P1 & P2) the firm is going to charge after applying 2nd price discrimination are: O P1=70 and P2=40 O P1=40 and P2=70 O P1=20 and P2=40 O P1=60 and P2=30
Company XYZ has a monopoly in its market for one of its' products and it serves 3 regional markets with regional demand functions given by. • Market 1: Q1 = 9 – (0.05) P1 • Market 2: Q2 = 10 – (0.1) P2 • Market 3: Q3 = 16 – (0.2) P3 The firm must make more than 10 units: Q > 10. The firm's cost function is C=490-50Q+2.5 Q2. The marginal cost is the same across all markets. Use Excel to set up this problem and: a) Identify the profit-maximizing output values for each market. b) Identify the surplus for each market and profit for the entire market. c) The output, price, and profit if the firm were not to differentiate across the markets? -

Economics Consider a three-firm homogeneous product industry. The market demand function is X=1000-40P. The cost functions of the firms are: C1= 20X1, C2=13.5X2+0.075X22, and C3=16.3X3+0.005X32. Where, X=X1 + X2 + X3. 1. Explain the Firm's Cournot Behaviour. 2. Assuming the firms' practice on Cournot Behaviour, calculate the market price, outputs of the firms and their profits
usiness EconomicsQ&A LibraryTwo firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in the industry that manufacture this product. Their marginal cost (MC) is equal to their average cost (AC) and it is constant at MC = AC = X, for both firms. Market demand is given as Q = Y – 2P (where P = price and Q = quantity). Select any value for X between [21 – 69] and any value for Y between [501 – 999]. Using this information, calculate the Industry Price, Industry Output, Industry Profit, Consumer Surplus and Deadweight Loss under each of the following models: (a) Cournot Model Two firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in…
Consider the market for fiberts. The market supply is os = 100p and the market demand is OP = 1500 - 50P The firm is a constant-cost industry, in which each firm has a total cost funiction of TC= 100 +0.250 and a marginal cost function of MC = 0,5g. where q represents the output of the individual firm. The expected equilibirum number of firms in this industry is: O 10 20 50 200 O Not enough information is provided to answer.
