Limiting Market Power: Regulation and Anti-Trust Predatory pricing threatens to keep competitors out of the market. It is a price that is so low that it will be profitable for the firm that adopts it only if a rival is driven out of the market. Debate why predatory pricing is an economic inefficiency in a perfectly competitive.
The following graph illustrates the market for small moving trucks in Eugene, OR, during Oregon's fall move-in week. PRICE (Dollars per small truck) 100 Demand 90 Supply 80 70 28 80 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 QUANTITY (Hundreds of small trucks) Suppose that Zoomba is one of over a dozen competitive firms in the Eugene area that offers moving truck rentals. Based on the preceding graph showing the weekly market demand and supply curves, the price Zoomba must take as given is Fill in the price and the total, marginal, and average revenue Zoomba eams when it rents 0, 1, 2, or 3 trucks during move-in week. Quantity (Trucks) Price Total Revenue (Dollars per truck) (Dollars) 0 1 2 3 Marginal Revenue (Dollars) Average Revenue (Dollars per truck) 0 The demand curve faced by Zoomba is identical to which of its other curves? Check all that apply. Supply curve Average revenue curve Marginal cost curve Marginal revenue curve
Consider an industry with that contains the following firms Total Revenue Firm A $45,000 Firm B $35,000 Firm C $50,000 Firm D $10,000 Firm E $60,000 Calculate Firm B's market share
Assume the following inverse market demand curve given by p = a - bQ.Marginal cost of Firm 1 is m and that for Firm 2 is m + x and x > 0.Calculate the equilibrium quantities and market price.
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.

Conditions for price discrimination Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same good at more than one price when the price differences are not justified by cost differences. Evaluate the following statement: "Price discrimination is not possible when a good is sold in a perfectly competitive market." False, because perfectly competitive firms do not profit - maximize by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost True, because perfectly competitive firms have no market power False, because perfectly competitive firms have market power None of these choices Examples of price discrimination Cho and Ginny are debating the use of coupons by grocery stores. Cho says, "The use of coupons in grocery stores represents a means of price discrimination. It's pure and simple. Coupons do reduce the price of groceries, but mostly to people who are less likely to buy at the full price." By contrast, Ginny contends, "Coupons do not constitute price discrimination. They simply…
In India, Cisco’s market share of the Ethernet switch and router market is approximately 67 percent. Juniper and HP each have market shares of about 6.5 percent, and several other firms have somewhat smaller market shares. Draw a diagram showing the equilibrium in this dominant firm market. 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

1 Cournot Suppose that the inverse market demand function is given by P 100 - Q. where Q is the total output. There are two firms in the industry. Each firm has a total cost function given by C; = 10g,, where i = 1,2. They are competing in quantities. Calculate the profit maximizing price and quantity for both firms.
