Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls Excel. Both can be produced at zero marginal cost. There are two types of consumers for these products, who exist in roughly equal proportions in the population: authors, who are willing to pay $120 for Word and $40 for Excel, and economists, who are willing to pay $50 for Word and $150 for Excel. a. Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell Word and Excel separately. What price should Microsoft set for Word? What price should Microsoft set for Excel? What will Microsoft's profit be from a representative group of one author and one economist? c. Suppose that Microsoft decides to bundle together Word and Excel in a package called Office, and not offer them individually. What price should Microsoft set for the package? Why? How much profit willI Microsoft generate from a representative group of one author and one economist? d. Does bundling allow Microsoft to generate higher profit…
You run a donut shop. You have two types of customers – early morning, and late morning. Below are the maximum prices a 6 am customer and a 10 am customer are willing to pay for a cup of coffee, a donut, and a coffee/donut bundle. There are 100 customers in each group per day. 6 am customer 8 am customer Coffee 0.70 0.60 Donut 0.50 1.00 Bundle 1.20 1.60 Your marginal cost of coffee is $0.10. Your marginal cost of a donut is $0.40. Your marginal cost of a bundle is $0.50. Is pricing the products separately more profitable than bundling the two products? If so, how should you price your bundle? Show all your computations.
You own Athleticon, which manufactures athletic wear. Your new contract with Atlanta United, a professional soccer team, allows Athleticon to be the sole suppler of athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. No one lese can manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be Athleticon’s level of profitability on the sale of “Atlanta United” athletic wear? Explain why. Your contract with Atlanta United only lasts 3 years. It was not renewed. Other firms can now manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo It is now 5 years after your contract with Atlanta United was terminated. Any manufacturer that wants to can manufacture and sell athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be the level of profitability and rate of return on manufacturing athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo? Explain why.
Imagine you are the owner of the Omaha Surfboard Company. You have a branch in Omaha and in Long Beach CA. After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?
2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Wonka's reaction function with qw expressed as a function of qh?c. What quantity of dark chocolate will each firm produce in equilibrium and what price will be established for a…
DuopolyMarket for mechanical pencils can be described by the following demand schedule:Price | Number of pencils demanded$6 | 80$5 | 200$4 | 320$3 | 440$2 | 560$1 | 680$0 | 800The fixed cost is $340, while the variable cost is $0.50.d) If there were two firms on the market and they agreed to cooperate, how much would eachfirm need to produce? Follow the procedure outlined in the lecture and show that the otherfirm would prefer to deviate from the agreement.e) When the firms deviate from the agreement, there is a new optimal level of output. Showwhether the firms have an incentive to deviate from that level?f) If there were two firms on the market, what would be the price and the quantity of pencilstraded if the firms couldn’t cooperate?
Suppose 2 gas stations must post their prices for regular gasoline at 6am each morning and cannot change their price during the day. Each gas station has a choice: charge a relatively “low” price or charge a relatively “high” price. The following shows their profit for the day of each gas station depending upon which price each gas station chooses: Gas Station B Low Price High Price Gas Station A Low Price $2000, $900 $500, $1500 High Price $1200, $1800 $300, $2100 Assume that this is a "one shot" game: 4. Does this game represent a prisoner’s dilemma situation? Why or why not? 5. If the gas stations can talk the night before making their pricing decision and discuss their pricing strategies, what pricing strategy would each gas station choose the next morning? Assuming both gas stations act rationally, what will be the outcome of the game? Explain.

Pizzaroni Cafe on the boardwalk in a popular New Jersey seaside town owned by Angelo McDonald. Situation: Due to the booming tourist season and the exceptional meals he prepares, Angelo is frequently forced to turn away patrons because he does not have enough room to accommodate everyone or because he does not have enough servers and kitchen help, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
