Suppose the two countries we considered in the numerical example in the text were to integrate their automobile market with a third country with an annual market for 3,750,000 automobiles. Find the number of firms, the ou per firm, and the price per automobile in the new integrated market after trade. You are given the following information: The total sales (S) in the industry after integration are 6,250,000 automobiles per year. 30,000 xQ The marginal revenue curve facing any one producer is described by the equation MR = P- Each producer has the following costs: fixed costs (F) of $750,000,000 and a constant marginal cost (c) of $5,000. In equilibrium, the number of firms will be (Round your answer down to the nearest integer.) Help! The equilibrium price will be $ (Enter your answer to the nearest dollar.) The equilibrium output per firm is (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Do this problem using excel solver. Africa controls 80% of the world's lithium refining, a material needed for the production of lithium batteries in electric vehicles. The demand for lithium batteries is P = $20,000 - 2.5 Q, where Q is in tons and P is in $/ton. The long run marginal and average cost of production is constant at $2,000/ton. a) Assuming the monopoly model applies, determine price, quantity, and profit for Africa using excel solver b) Now assume new firms enter the lithium market, resulting in (perfect) competition. Determine the price, quantity, and profits, when the industry is in (long run) equilibrium using excel solver c) Finally, compare social welfare for the two cases, and determine deadweight loss using excel solver.

Which of the following statements is not always correct? In two-input production models, constant returns to scale indicate horizontal marginal cost curves. If labour and capital are perfect complements in production, short run supply curves involve a vertical segment. When output price increases, the long run increase in labour input use will be more than the short run increase in labour input use. If a monopolist has zero marginal and fixed costs and faces a market demand curve with constant price elasticity -1, then any quantity is profit maximising
The Energy Information Administration's forecast that world crude oil demand will likely outpace supply by 20 million barrels this year has also increased market uncertainty and driven up prices. Companies in the US steel and alumina industries have been urging the loosening of import restrictions because they fear running short of petrol. Despite the potential market effects, analysts believe that most steel and alumina companies won't be significantly impacted because crude oil only accounts for a small fraction of their overall costs. In general, rising crude oil prices are the result of a mix of supply and demand issues, market uncertainty, and other reasons. The price of this significant commodity will undoubtedly continue to be significantly influenced by global supply and demand dynamics, even though the precise trajectory of prices in the future is difficult to forecast. 1) Draw a graph to show this information.
What is the cost per dollar of net output for each company? Which company has the comparative advantage? What is the value of the comparative advantage?
Describe the difference in economic profit between a competitive firm and a monopolist in both the short and long run. Which should take longer to reach the long-run equilibrium? In the short run, both monopolists and competitive firms run, economic profit. True or False: The adjustment to long-run equilibrium takes the same amount of time for monopolies and competitive industries. (Can/Cannot) earn positive economic profits. In the long _(neither/monopolists, but not competitive/both/ competitive but not monopolists) can earn a positive
Consider the following simplified scenario. Imagine that the Australian national rugby union (for short, Rugby AU) has exclusive rights to organize the games played by the national team. Rugby AU decides that the next match, between the Wallabies and the All Blacks (i.e., the Australian and the New Zeeland national rugby teams), will be hosted at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Rugby AU has no fixed costs for organizing the game, but it must pay a marginal cost MC of $20 per seat to the owners of the Marvel Stadium. Two types of tickets will be sold for the game: concession and full fare. Based on any official document that attests to their age, children and pensioners qualify to purchase concession tickets that offer a discounted price; everyone else pays the full fare. The demand for full-fare tickets is QF(P) = 120 – 2P. The demand for concession tickets is QC(P) = 80 – 2P. 1. The market for full fare tickets (F)a) Calculate the inverse demand, write the profit maximizing…

Suppose you have been tasked with regulating a single monopoly firm that sells 50-pound bags of concrete. The firm has fixed costs of $10 million per year and a variable cost of $6 per bag no matter how many bags are produced. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. In part e, round your answer to two decimal places. a. If this firm keeps increasing its output level, will ATC per bag ever increase? No = Are there economies of scale at all levels of output? No ÷ b. If you wished to regulate this monopoly by charging the socially optimal price, what price would you charge? $ per bag At that price, the size of the firm's profit would be $ million. Will the firm want to exit the industry? No c. You find out that if you set the price at $7 per bag, consumers will demand 10 million bags. At that price, the firm's profit or loss will be $ million. d. If consumers instead demanded 20 million bags at a price of $7, how big would the firm's profit or loss be? At that price, the size…
The three graphs below illustrate the market for electricity. The distribution of electricity is a natural monopoly; therefore, to take advantage of lower production costs, it is efficient to have only one firm in the market. Unfortunately, if a monopoly were allowed to provide electricity, it would charge a higher price and provide a smaller amount of electricity than would be desirable. In other words, the unregulated monopoly would charge the monopoly's profit-maximizing price. To avoid this, the government will allow a single firm to provide electricity, but the government will regulate the price. Let’s compare possible regulatory solutions.
