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…

Discussion Question 13-11 Network effects give Internet firms a boost with respect to first mover advantages. This is because with network effects O whichever firm's network becomes the largest will become the most valuable to potential customers and will therefore attract even more users. O only firms with access to proprietary technology can form a network. O networks can be networked to create even more traffic and profits. O the first internet firm to establish a network has the most influence over any regulation. When network effects are at play, an increase in the number of people using a given product will shift the demand curve to Oright and make it more elastic. O the right and make it more inelastic. O left and make it more inelastic. O left and make it more elastic. NOV 12 tv NA 10
Table 17-2 The information in the table depicts the total demand for wireless Internet subscriptions in a small urban market. Assume that each wireless Internet operator pays a fixed cost of $100,000 (per year) to provide wireless Internet in the market area and that the marginal cost of providing the wireless Internet service to a household is zero. Quantity 0 2000 4000 6000 8,000 Price (per year) $180 $150 $120 $90 $60 10,000 $30 12,000 $0 Refer to Table 17-2. Assume that there are two profit-maximizing wireless Internet companies operating in this market. Further assume that they are not able to "collude" on price and quantity of wireless Internet subscriptions to sell. How many wireless Internet subscriptions will be collectively sold (by both firms) when this market reaches a Nash equilibrium? Oa. 2000 Ob.4000 OC. 6000 O d. 58000
10.6 Economic Efficiency Economic efficiency in a market requires that the market be allocatively and technically efficient. The allocative efficiency requirement means that the right amount of a good or service is being produced—marginal utilities per dollar of resource used are all equal. That result means that prices are equal to marginal costs and consumers are maximizing their own satisfaction. We cannot be better off with different levels of production. The following questions will help you understand how a monopoly is not operating at an allocatively efficient level. Use the following information on a monopoly and perfectly competitive firms to answer the following six questions: Consider a monopoly where consumers are currently consuming where the marginal utility is 10 units of utility for the good. The price of the product is $5. The marginal cost of producing the good is $2.00. Then consider perfectly competitive firms where consumers are currently consuming where the…
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.
