Question #3 (Oligopoly Question)Kashian Airline has determined that the price elasticity of demandfor two customer segments (a Customer seeking First Class seats onan airplane has price elasticity of demand is -1.5 while Coach seatshave a price elasticity of demand is -2.25. Based on theirexpectations of profitability, Kashian realizes the Marginal Cost ofthe flight $350. Note that the marginal cost of a Coach Seat and aFirst Class seat are about the same (in effect, MC = $350 for each).How much should Kashian charge for its each of its products(coach and first class)? (20 Points)

To determine the optimal price for each of its products (coach and first class), Kashian Airline can…

Additional Problem 3: Assume that two companies (C and D) are Cournot duopolists that produce identical products. Demand for the products is given by the following linear demand function: P = 600 – Qc - QD where Qc and Qp are the quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the price. Total cost functions for the two companies are TC = 25,000 + 100QC TCp = 20,000 + 125QD %3! %3D a. Determine the profit functions for both firms. b. Given the cost functions, which firm will produce more in an equilibrium? c. Determine the equilibrium price and quantities sold by each firm. d. Determine the profits for the market as well as each firm.
Based on the best available econometric estimates, the market elasticity of demand for your firm's product is -2.0. The marginal cost of producing the product is constant at $75, while average total cost at current production levels is $140.

Suppose 4Sisters is a patented vaccine. Her producer is facing a linear demand function for 4Sisters. She manufactures at a constant marginal cost of $20. Reports indicate that she produces 12,000 units of vaccine. She charges a unit price of $400. She is making a positive economic profit of $1,500,000. Draw a well-labelled diagram to indicate the output decision, pricing decision, economic profit, and the resultant deadweight loss in the market for 4Sisters. Indicate key figures with reference to the above given information.
Economics: Industrial Economics Question: A duopoly exists in the market for lumber in a town. It costs the first company, Big Cutters, $16 per cord of wood while it costs the second company, Pine Stackers, $10 per cord of wood. The local market demand curve for wood is Q-31,000-100P. Assume each has the capacity to serve the entire market and that they can only price in whole dollar amounts (i.e.$30, not $29.99). Assume initially that Cutters and Stackers decide to collude and split the market. How many cords of wood will they sell? Choices: A. 12,000 B. 9,000 C. 15,000 D. 20,000 2. What will be the price they charge? Choices: A. 190 B. 210 C. 110 D. 160 3. How much will Big Cutters produce? Choices: A. 9,000 B. 4,500 C. 0 D. 15,000 Now assume that collusion is not possible. 4.

1. It is 1908 and you are the CEO of Ford Motor Company. General Motors startedproducing cars this year and has quickly become your chief rival. Their recent entrance, as wellas your assembly line methods, allows you the advantage of producing cars faster and choosingyour output levels first. Assume the 1908 inverse demand function for cars is P = 3900 - Q(customers view cars as identical products at this point in time) and production costs are C(qi) =100qi. a. What is Ford’s profit-maximizing output level? GM's?b. What is the market equilibrium price?c. How much profit does each firm earn?d. As the assembly line is used by other firms, the first-mover advantage disappears (fast forward100 years to present day), and more firms have entered the market (e.g. FCA, Tesla, Hyundai,Toyota, Honda, etc.), what do you expect to happen to Ford’s profit (assume demand andcosts are the same)? Explain.e. From 1908 into the 1920s, Ford offered customers one car: the Model T. Further, Henry isfamous…

Review the following hypothetical scenario and answer the following question: Our only competitor in the Central State region currently provides bundled services at $79.95. We are currently charging a 10 percent premium over its price, but there are rumors that it is contemplating a 10 percent price increase to bring its price in line with ours. We don’t know its cost structure, so we don’t know whether its price increase is driven by rising costs or a strategic move to gain margin. Historically, when we both charge the same price, our market share is about 65 percent. When we charge a 10 percent premium over its price, our market share declines to about 60 percent. It appears that in those instances when it charges a 10 percent higher price than us, our market share is about 70 percent. Please provide a recommendation regarding whether we should maintain our current price or reduce our price to $79.95. Please factor into your recommendation that we pay programming fees that amount to…
UCOM is able to purchase an exclusive right to sell a soccer channel (SC) in its market area. Let's assume that UCOM pays $150,000 a year for the exclusive marketing rights to SC. Since UCOM has already installed cable to all of the homes in its market area, the marginal cost of delivering Soccer Channel to subscribers is zero. The manager of UCOM needs to know what price to charge for the Soccer Channel service to maximize her profit. Before setting price, she hires an economist to estimate demand for the Soccer channel service. The economist discovers that there are two types of subscribers who value soccer. First are the 4,000 die-hard soccer fans who will pay as much as $150 a year for the new soccer channel. Second, the soccer channel will appeal to about 20,000 occasional TV viewers who will pay as much as $20 a year for a subscription to soccer channel. What is the deadweight loss associated with the non-discriminating pricing policy compared to the price discriminating…
Suppose the European Union (EU) was investigated and proposed a merger between two of the largest distillers of premium Scotch liquor. Based on some economists' definition of the relevant market, the two firms proposing to merge enjoyed a combined market share of about two-thirds, while another firm essentially controlled the remaining share of the market. Additionally, suppose that the (wholesale) market elasticity of demand for Scotch liquor is -1.9 and that it costs $16.90 to produce and distribute each liter of Scotch Based only on these data, provide quantitative estimates of the likely pre- and postmerger prices in the wholesale market for premium Scotch liquor. Instructions: Do not round Intermediate calculations. Enter your final responses rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). Pre-merger price: $ 19:43 Post-merger price: $ 23.02
