Table: Market for Oil World Price (per barrel) World Quantity (MBD) $36.00 100 37.50 98 47.50 82 50.00 80 Suppose that oil is produced by 10 countries, each of which produces 10 million barrels of oil a day (MBD) for a total of 100 MBD. The world price of oil at this quantity is $36 per barrel, so each country earns $360 million a day. Suppose that these countries form a cartel and each country produces 8 MBD. If nine of the cartel members cheat and produce 10 MBD while one country keeps its promise and maintains production at 8 MBD, each cheater will earn revenue of: $375 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $360 million a day. $400 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $360 million a day. $400 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $300 million a day. $375 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $300 million a day.

The auto industry in the U.S. has long been dominated by the Big Three carmakers: Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. The auto industry in China, on the other hand, has more than 170 carmakers. Automakers in the U.S. have some monopoly power while the car market in China has the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market. Based on these differences in market characteristics, explain how car makers in the U.S. will “behave” compared to carmakers in China. In particular, address the following considerations: How will carmakers in the U.S. respond to consumers’ desires compared to Chinese carmakers’ response to consumers’ desires, everything else being equal?

A large share of the world supply of diamonds comes from Russia and South Africa. Suppose that the marginal cost of mining diamonds is constant at $3,000 per diamond, and the demand for diamonds is described by the following schedule: see attached If there were many suppliers of diamonds, the price would be $________per diamond and the quantity sold would be __________diamonds. If there were only one supplier of diamonds, the price would be _________per diamond and the quantity sold would be_________diamonds. Suppose Russia and South Africa form a cartel.

Identify the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity produced by the dominant firm and the competitive fringe firms. Illustrate what happens to the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity produced by the dominant firm and the competitive fringe firms if additional fringe firms enter the market
The Jakarta Post - Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Luhut Pandjaitan said he wants to push for the emergence of a new player in the jet fuel or avtur business in an effort to lower airfares. The market is currently dominated by state-owned energy company Pertamina. Previously, President Joko Widodo criticized Pertamina for “monopolizing” the avtur business that was blamed for the high price of the commodity. “Because of a monopolistic market, the price isn’t competitive. Many want to sell avtur, and it will lead to lower prices and encourage efficiency.” Jokowi said. Do you agree with the statements? ? Use a relevant graph to help explain your answer. (Hint: Use graphical analysis to compare the condition under perfect competition and monopoly markets in your answer)
In 1983, Motorola accounted for seventy five percent of the mobile phone market. But by 2019, its market share had shrunk to just 2.2%. In 1983, the Motorola launched one of the world’s first commercially available mobile phones—the DynaTAC 8000X. Motorola went on to launch a few more devices over the next few years and quickly became a dominant player in the emerging industry. In the early days of the market, the company’s only serious competitor was Finnish multinational Nokia. By the mid-1990s, other competitors like Sony and Siemens started to gain some solid footing, which chipped away at Motorola’s dominance. In September 1995, the company’s market share was down to 32.1%. By January 1999, Nokia surpassed Motorola as the leading mobile phone manufacturer, accounting for 21.4% of global market share. That put it just slightly ahead of Motorola’s 20.8%. Describe the market for mobile phones in 1983 and illustrate how equilibrium price and quantity determined in this industry and…
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…
