Suppose Eckerd Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in a particular market, but CVS Pharmacy is thinking about entering the market. Absent entry, Eckerd Pharmacy can maximize profits by producing a small quantity. However, by producing a large quantity, Eckerd Pharmacy can attempt to deter entry by reducing prices and, consequently, profits. Eckerd Pharmacy must choose how much to produce first and then CVS Pharmacy will choose whether to enter the industry. The strategies and corresponding profits for Eckerd (E) and CVS Pharmacy (C) are depicted in the decision tree to the right. What is the Nash equilibrium of the game? OA Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the small quantity and CVS Pharmacy will not enter OB. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the large quantity and CVS Pharmacy will enter. C. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the large quantity and CVS Pharmacy will not enter. OD. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the small quantity and CVS Pharmacy will enter Small Quantity, Large Quantity U Enter Stay Out Enter…
Discuss and elaborate the differences and similarities between perfect competition, monopoly and oligopoly.
Suppose there are many identical competitive firms with constant marginal cost MC = 7 and inverse market demand p = 100 q. Now one of the firms made an innovation and lowers its marginal cost to MCi = 5, what’s the largest profit this innovating firm make? What if the innovator lowers its marginal cost to MCi = 3?
Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. PRICE (Dollars per pound) 100 90 80 70 80 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 125 250 375 500 825 750 875 1000 1125 1250 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds) Demand Because you know that competitive firms earn Supply (10 firms) True Supply (15 firms) If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of rhodium would be $ would . Therefore, in the long run, firms would False Supply (20 firms) per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be ? per pound. At that price,…
An industry has two firms: a Stackelberg leader and a follower. The inverse marke demand curve is p = 36 — q, the leader has a constant marginal cost of 9 and the follower has a constant marginal cost of 0. The leader will produce - 91 = 7 91 = 9 None of the other answers is correct = 18 91 = 91 = 12
0:29:15 Suppose that the market demand for a certain product is given by P = 670 – Q. where Qis total industry output. There are only three firms F, F,, F, that manufacture that product. The three firms have the following marginal costs: c = 32, c2 = 34 and C3 = 36. The leader (F) makes a production decision q1. F2, after observing the quantity chosen by F chooses its own quantity q2. Finally F3, after observing the quantities chosen by F, and F, chooses its own quantity q3. a) Determine the output levels that will be produced in a Stackelberg -Nash equilibrium 91 = 93 = b) Determine the price level in such an equilibrium P= c) Determine the profit levels in such an equilibrium U1 = uz=
