Suppose that it costs $5 to produce a low-quality electric stapler and $30 to produce a high-quality stapler. Consumers cannot distinguish between good staplers and poor staplers when they make heir purchases. There are four firms producing staplers. Consumers value staplers at their cost of production and are risk neutral. Will any of the four firms be able to produce high quality staplers vithout making losses? Suppose each firm produces 50 staplers. f one firm makes high-quality staplers, then each firm that produces low-quality staplers will earn profit of $ as whole numbers and include a minus sign if necessary.) A firm and the firm that makes the high-quality staplers will earn $ have an incentive to produce high-quality staplers.

Suppose that three firms make up the entire wig manufacturing industry. One has a 50% market share, and the other two have a 25% market share each. The Herfindahl index of this industry is _____. a. 3,750 b. 1,000 c. 10,000 d. 5,000 e. 2,500 Mane Attraction, one of the firms with a 25% market share in the wig manufacturing industry, leaves the market. This would cause the Herfindahl index for the industry to _____. a. remain the same b. fall c. rise The largest possible value of the Herfindahl index is 10,000 because: a. an index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each b. an index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share c. an industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice Department
At the start of the recession during early 2020 and 2021, land releases for owner- occupier (such as a 4 bedroom single-storey dwelling) housing were limited. Therefore, only few construction companies were in action as the costs of borrowing money from banks also slowly started decreasing. But there are no barriers to entry or exit in the construction industry such as for building owner-occupied housing. Explain with the help of a well-labelled diagram the profit and loss performance of a firm operating in the construction of a 4 bedroom single-storey dwelling in the construction industry between 2020 and 2021.

5.4 Food service firms buy meat, vegetables, and other foods and resell them to restaurants, schools, and hospitals. US Foods and Sysco are by far the largest firms in the indus- try. In 2015, these firms were attempting to combine or merge to form a single firm. A news story quoted one res- taurant owner as saying: "There was definite panic in the restaurant industry... when the merger was announced. They know they're going to get squeezed." a. Analyze the effect on the food service market of US Foods and Sysco combining. Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. For simplicity, assume that the market was perfectly competitive before the firms combined and would be a monopoly afterward. Be sure your graph shows changes in the equilibrium price, the equilibrium quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. b. Why would restaurant owners believe they would be "squeezed" by this development?
