Problem 11-23 (algo) You manage a company that competes in an industry that is comprised of 5 equal-sized firms that produce similar products. A recent industry report indicates that the market is fairly saturated, in that a 10 percent industry-wide price increase would lead to a 16 percent decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Currently. Congress is considering legislation that would impose a tariff on a key input used by the industry. Your best estimate is that, if the legislation passes, your marginal cost will increase by 1 dollar. Based on this information, what price increase would you recommend if the tariff legislation is passed by Congress? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). $

(Dominant Firm with Fringe Competition) The structure of competition in the market for product A follows the dominant firm model with competitive fringes, where there is one company that is a dominant player and there are many fringes companies that compete competitively. The total demand for product A in this market is expressed by P = 1200 - Q, while the supply function of the competitive fringe is expressed by Sf: qf = P - 240. If the dominant firm is known to have marginal costs as follows: MCd = 240 + 0.25qd b. What is the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity for the dominant firm? Show your answer mathematically and graphically. c. In that equilibrium, what is the supply of competitive fringes? How many total products are there on the market? What is the market share of the dominant company and the fringe company? Show your answer mathematically and graphically Thank you Bartleby!

4) Application problems (Topic 9 & 10) Perfect Competition versus Monopoly: A small country town is served by many competing (price-taking) fruit and vegetable shops, who all have the same marginal costs. They then get together and decide to operate as one large monopoly firm. Using the diagram below, answer the following questions: (a) * What was the equilibrium price and quantity in this market when the firms were competing each other? What is the new price and quantity once they form a monopoly? (b) aga *** What was the dollar value of the consumer and producer surplus under (i) perfect competition, and (ii) under monopoly? What, if any, is the size of the deadweight loss implied by this market transitioning into a monopoly? Price $23 I Supply EMC $13 $10.5 $9 $3 1.000 Demand Marginal Revenue 1.250 Quantity

(15 marks) Public utilities, like local electricity providers, are likely natural monopolies. They are typically regulated by the government with a rate-of-return regulation. Explain why public utilities like local electricity providers are natural monopolies. Explain the economic rationale behind the rate-of-return regulation on a natural monopoly. Given your above arguments, discuss whether the government should regulate firms other than a natural monopoly with this method.

2 (a) In New Keynesian Model with monopolistic competition, the profit function is given by: Il; = P;Y; – W[kY; + F]. where P is the price of firm j, Y is the marketable output of firm j, W is nominal wage, k is the (constant) marginal labour requirement, F is fixed cost in terms of units of labor. Derive the aggregate profit function in monopolistic competition by relating the aggregate profit income (P) to aggregate spending (PY) and firm's outlays on overhead labor (WNF) where Wk = Pjlµ and 1-1/µ = 1/0.

Yakov is a stay-at-home parent who lives in Houston and teaches tennis lessons for extra cash. At a wage of $30 per hour, he is willing to teach 6 hours per week. At $50 per hour, he is willing to teach 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Yakov’s labor supply between the wages of $30 and $50 per hour is approximately _______ , which means that Yakov’s supply of labor over this wage range is _____ .
