Walmart can be viewed as a first mover. Now suppose both Walmart and HEB are considering whether and how to enter a potential market. Market demand is given by the inverse demand function p= 900−q1−q2, where p is the market price margin, q1 is the quantity sold by Walmart and q2is the quantity sold by HEB. To enter the market, a retailer must build a store. Two types of stores can be built: Small and Large. A Small pantry store requires an investment of $50,000, and it allows the retailer to sell as many as 100 units of the goods at zero marginal cost. Alternatively, the retailer can pay $175,000 to construct a Large full-service supermarket that will allow it to sell any number of units at zero marginal cost. Assume Walmart stays out of the potential market (i.e.Walmart chooses not to enterN1at the first stage,q1= 0). Calculate HEB’s profit for the following cases: a.) HEB chooses not to enter N at the second stage after viewing Walmart’schoice. b.) HEB chooses to build a small…

Questions 1-3 use the following case to determine a way to take a single product, like toilet and bundle it in such a way as to extract all of the profit at the time of the initial sale. You go to CostCo or Walmart and you see paper towel sold in a bundle and you wonder how the retailer can make any money. You do a little research and you find that the demand for paper towels is depicted by the following demand curve and marginal cost: P=$2.20 (1/10)*Q MR-$2.20 (2/10)*Q MC 0.20 where P is the price of paper towels, MC is the marginal cost of paper towels, MR is the marginal revenue of paper towels and Q is the quantity of paper towels. So you decide to try two different pricing strategies: 1) sell one roll at a time and 2) use multipart pricing to sell a bundle. Given the results for the pricing strategies in problems 1 and 2, what is your pricing decision and why?
Pete sells two different soups (chicken soup and beef soup) in two competitive markets. Suppose the firm's cost function is given by C = ½ q1^2 + ¼ q2^2 - 1/6 (q1)(q2) where q1 is the output of chicken soup and q2 is the output of beef soup. The price of beef soup is $3. a. Find the firm's supply curve for chicken soup. b. Find how the firm's supply of beef soup varies with the price of chicken soup Show work and explain
Suppose the government imposes a 4 dollar tax on each unit of good produced by each firm. Each firm's cost function is now C(g) = 200 +4g + q*/2, where the 4q reflects the tax payment. What is each firm's new supply function? Oq = p+ 40 Oq = p- 40 Og = p - 4 Oq = Suppose we are in a short-run equilibrium after the government tax and there are no firm entrants/exits. What is the new equilibrium price and market-level quantity? Note that the market-level demand curve is still the same, Qp = 2000 – 50p. Op = 16, q = 500 Op = 20, q = 800 Op = 22, q = 900 Op = 24, q = 1000 Suppose we are now in a new long-run equilibrium with the government taxes in place. Relative to the short-run equilibrium after the tax, which of the following statements is true? Oprice decreases, market-level quantity increases, and each firm's quantity increases Oprice increases, market-level quantity decreases, and each firm's quantity increases Onew firms enter the market
An economy with many consumers (Amy, Hao, ...), many producers, two goods (A and B) and two inputs (L and K) is in a competitive general equilibrium. Which of the following conditions are satisfied in this economy? (Select all that apply) The absolute value of the slope of PPF (with good A on the horizontal axis) is equal to MCA / MCB, the ratio of marginal costs of producing goods A and B, at any point on PPF MRSAB = PA / PB for all consumers For every possible redistribution of goods among the consumers, some of them will be better off and some of them will be worse off. MRS = MRT MRS MRTS PA = MCA and PB = MCB MUAmy = MUHao A = PA MRTS = PA / PB MUAmy A = MCA and MUAmy B = MCB MRTS between labour and capital is the same for all firms, whether producing good A or good B. the ratio of input marginal products must be equal to the ratio of input prices MRT = MRTS for all firms, whether producing good A or good B For every possible redistribution of inputs among the firms, the quantity…

The supply function for a product is 2p - 4 - 10 = 0. while the demand function for the same product is (p + 10)(4 + 30) = 7200. Find the market equilibrium point.
The widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $26, $14, $10, $5, and $3 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.
Suppose the market referred to in the previous problem is suddenly hit by a decrease in tastes and preferences. What will happen to Q in this market in the long run (relative to the initial equilibrium)? a) It will decrease b) It will not only decrease but fall to zero c)It will be unchanged d) It will increase e) It will be affected by what is known as the “Kazarosyan Effect”
Scenario: In the town of Isoville there are two grocery stores: Alfonso’s Ammenities and Bernice’s Bargains. The grocery stores are located at either end of the town, 1km apart. Recently, the manager of Alfonso’s Ammenities has proposed installing new self-service checkout technology, which promises to reduce the cost of each transaction at the grocery store by reducing staffing costs. The new technology is expected to reduce the marginal cost of selling a typical basket of groceries by $3. However, experience in other locations has shown that in about 25% of installations the self-service technology results in a significant increase in shop-lifting. In these cases, the need to hire extra security staff means that the marginal cost of a typical basket only falls by $1.50. Unfortunately, there is no way to know whether extra security will be required until after the new checkouts are installed.The Market: Isoville has 12,000 households, each of which purchases 1 basket of groceries per…
Rent controls force landlords to price apartments below the equilibrium price level. An immediate effect is a shortage (excess demand) of apartments, because the quantity of apartments demanded is greater than the quantity supplied at the regulated price. When cities prevent landlords from charging market rents, which of the following are common long-run outcomes? Check all that apply. The future supply of rental housing units increases. Efficient use of housing space results. Nonprice methods of rationing emerge. The quantity of available rental housing units falls.
