Suppose the market demand curve is given by P= 150 - 5x-5y, where x is the output that Amy produces, and y is Beau's output level. Amy's marginal cost of production is $10 and Beau's marginal cost of production is $30. If Amy and Beau take the output decision sequentially and without any cooperation, where Amy is the leader, Amy's profit-maximizing production level is x = , and Beau produces y= units. The market price is $ . Amy's producer surplus is $ and Beau's producer surplus is $

Two companies produce similar items for the same market. Company 1 produces q₁ items and Company 2 produces q2 items. The costs C₁ and C₂ incurred by Company 1 and Company 2, respectively, are given by C₁ = 79₁ and C₂ = 1092, and the market price P is given by P = 100-91-92. Let ₁ and 2 denote the profits made by Company 1 and Company 2, respectively. Each company wants to choose its production strategy in order to maximize its profit. (a) Find expressions for ₁ and ₂ in terms of 9₁ and 92. (b) Find the solution of this problem, using the Cournot model.
Suppose there are two firms that sell surfboards Firm A and Firm B. Firm A produces high quality boards at a cost of MCA = $1,000. Firm B produces low quality boards at a cost of MCB = $400. Consumers are willing to pay $1,300 for a high-quality board and $500 for a low-quality board. If both firms choose to participate in the market, they will have equal market share. Use this information to answer questions #7 and #8. 7. If consumers are unable to observe the quality of a surfboard before purchasing, a. There will be market failure due to adverse selection. b. There will be market failure due to moral hazard. There will not be any market failure. d. The price of high-quality surf boards will increase due to adverse selection. The price of low-quality surf boards will increase due to moral hazard. с. е. 8. The firms consider offering a warranty to signal the quality of their surfboards. In order for the warranty to serve as a credible signal of quality, both firms must choose to offer…
PQ 18.02 (and 18.03) Two businesses in a market can decide to increase the amount of stores they operate. If neither business adds new stores they will each earn $10 million in profit; if both add new stores they will each earn $4 million in profit; and if one adds new stores while the other does not, the business adding new stores earns profit of $10 million and the other earns profit of $5 million. If these businesses are not colluding we would expect: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a both may or may not add new stores. b one business will add new stores and the other will not. c both will add new stores. d neither will add new stores.
Beta's Price Policy High Low A B $20 $30 High Alpha's Price Policy $20 $10 C D $10 $15 Low $30 $15 Refer to the diagram, where the numerical data show profits in millions of dollars. Beta's profits are shown in the northeast corner and Alpha's profits in the southwest corner of each cell. If both firms follow a high-price policy. Multiple Choice Beta will realize a $10 million profit and Alpha a $30 million profit. each will realize a $15 million profit Alpha will realize a $10 million profit and Beta a $30 million profit
two timber companies, Alpha and Beta, have to decide whether to harvest timber from the North Hill or the South Hill and then sell the timbers in the same market. If both harvest from North Hill, each company can harvest 100 tons of timber. If both companies harvest from South Hill, each company can harvest 150 tons of timber. If one company harvests from North Hill and the other harvests from South Hill, the company at North Hill can harvest 150 tons of timber while the company at South Hill can harvest 250 tons of timber. The price of timber is dependent on the total supply of timber in the market. The price will be $180 per ton if the total supply is 200 tons, $150 per ton if the total supply is 300 tons and $100 per ton if the total supply is 400 tons. To both companies, the cost of harvesting in North Hill is $5,000 and the cost of harvesting in South Hill is $10,000. (a) If Alpha and Beta were to make a decision simultaneously, construct the payoff matrix in terms of profit for…
Consider two product designers compete where to place their product in the product space. Assume the product space is the interval from 0 to 1, including the end points. The prices of the product are fixed. Product designers place their product simultaneously in the product space. Consumer’s ideal product is spread out uniformly over the product space. Consumers like to choose their ideal product. If they cannot get their ideal product, they incur a disutility that depends linearly on the distance from their ideal product. (The disutility only depends linearly on the distance from their ideal product.) Each consumer has enough income to buy one product even if the distance from their own ideal product is 1. a. Where will the two products be placed in the Nash equilibrium if the locations of the product in the product space are chosen simultaneously? Explain. b. What are the socially optimal locations, i.e. the best locations from society’s point of view that minimise transportation…
Suppose Erin gives haircuts on Saturdays to make extra money. She is the only person in town cutting hair on Saturdays and therefore has some market power. Assume that she does not incur fixed costs, and the only significant variable cost to Erin is her time. As she gives more haircuts, Erin must increasingly forgo other valuable Saturday activities. For example, if she gives one haircut, she forgoes reading the paper after breakfast. If she gives two haircuts, she gives up reading the paper and sleeping an extra half-hour. Erin's clients are a varied group willing to pay between $16.00 and $28.00 for a haircut. Assume that Erin cannot price discriminate, i.e., charge different clients different prices. If Erin charges $28.00 per haircut, she will have one client per week; if she charges $24.00, she will have two; if she charges $20.00, three, and so forth. The following table contains data on the revenues and costs of Erin's haircut business as a function of her price-quantity choice.…
