- Continuing with inverse demand p = 50 - Q, if each firm has marginal cost of 0, what is the difference between the equilibrium price under Cournot competition and under Bertrand competition? The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50. The Cournot price is lower than the Bertrand price by 25. The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50/3. Equilibrium prices under Cournot and Bertrand are the same, so the difference is zero.Lagatt Green is a monopoly beer producer and distributor operating in the hypothetical economy of Lightington. Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate, and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if Lagatt Green is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss.

- Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms.

Therefore, in the long run, firms would False Supply (20 firms) per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be ? per pound. At that price,…Suppose you have 5 identical Bertrand (price-competing) firms with MC for each equal to $10. The market elasticity of demand is -2.0. What is the market price?A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR?

A typical consumer's demand for the product is Q = 10 - 0.5P and the total cost function is C(Q) = 8Q. What is the optimal number of units to put into a package? What is the optimal price to charge for the package? What are the profits for this pricing scheme?Lagatt Green is a monopoly beer producer and distributor operating in the hypothetical economy of Lightington. Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate, and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green.

The computer industry is currently perfectly competitive and in equilibrium. Suppose all firms in the industry are taken over by a single firm that establishes a monopoly in the market. Assuming the monopoly maximizes profit, Select one: there will be no effect on the price of computers. Ob. the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, but there will be no change in quantity demanded. Oc. the price of computers will be set equal to the marginal cost of computers. O d the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, and the quantity demanded will fall from 400 to 200 per day.
