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.
QUESTION 2: Consider a competitive market. There are X number of firms in this market. Every firm is facing the following set up: a. How does the number of firms in the industry, affect each firm's demand curve? Why? b. What will be the production in this market? What price will the companies charge? How much profit will firms make? c. What is the minimum number of firms in the market so that everyone is making losses? d. How many firms will exist in this market in the long-run?
Consider an industry with the market demand Q=130-P. Firms' marginal cost and average cost are the same, MC=AC=10. What is the competitive equilibrium quantity Qc, the competitive equilibrium price Pc, and the competitive equilibrium profit c
The Nintari Company produces video-game-playing machines and a second firm, Necsega, owns exclusive rights to manufacture games that can be used with the Nintari game machine. Both of these imperfectly competitive firms are maximizing profits. If Nintari buys Necsega and nothing else changes, then how will Nintari adjust prices of game machines and games to maximize profits?
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.

a) What is the market price? P = $0 b) What is the industry's output? Industry Output: 0 c) What is the output of each firm? Output: 0 d) What is the economic profit of each firm? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Profit: $0 e) What is the shut down price? Shutdown price: $0 f) What is the long run equilibrium price? You can assume that the above ATC applies to both short run and long run. Conceptually, in the long run the column AVC disappears. Graphically, the amount of output K in both long run and short run is the same. P = $0 g) What is the number of firms in the industry in long run? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Number of firms: 0
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.
