Two competing companies, A and B face the same unit cost of a product that is fixed and equal to 15 monetary units. The demand function for company A's product is Pa=65-2.5Qa and for B's product is Pb=60-2Qb.Calculate the Lerner index at the equilibrium position of each company. Comparing the index you found for company A with the index you found for company B what is found? If there is a difference between them, explain why it is due.

Two countries trade with each other. The one country (Petro), has a comparative advantage i the production of oil; the other (Sucre) in the production of sugar. Both countries are big on world market for these goods. The world market price of oil is 90 dollars per unit (per barrel): for sugar it is 2 dollars per kg. Evaluate the following statements (each statement separately), they are true or false? In subtasks 3b and 3c, you must illustrate what happens on the world market (in task 3a, you must not use any figure). 3a With the given relative prices, Sucre's exchange ratio is 90/2, ie 45 kg of sugar per barrel of oil. 3 3b trade ratio to deteriorate. (Figure required) If Sucre discovers large oil deposits that it can exploit, its time will come 3c If a large percentage of the world's population reduces their sugar consumption due to its harmful health effects improve Petro's metabolic rate.

The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
The break-even price is equal to the minimum average cost of production. True False
Suppose Samsunk sells her tablet computers at a price of $3,000. Estimates show that the manufacturing cost of each tablet computer constant at $900. i. Calculate the Lerner Index of Samsunk on her tablet computers.
Is this statement true or false? And why? Manufacturing highly standardised products are usually more profitable in high context cultures due to economies of scale.
Philippines You're the manager of global opportunities for a U.S. manufacturer that is considering expanding sales into Asia. Your market research has identified the market potential in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore as described in the following table: Malaysia Probability Units Philippines Probability Units Singapore Probability Units Big Success Level 0.3 1,100,000 0.3 1,300,000 Mediocre Failure 0.2 352,000 0.3 650,000 0.1 0.7 600,000 360,000 0.5 0 0.4 0 0.2 0 The product sells for $20, and each unit has a constant marginal cost of $16.

You manage a company that competes in an industry that is comprised of 3 equal-sized firms that produce similar products. A recent industry report indicates that the market is fairly saturated, in that a 10 percent industry-wide price increase would lead to a 22 percent decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Currently, Congress is considering legislation that would impose a tariff on a key input used by the industry. Your best estimate is that, if the legislation passes, your marginal cost will increase by 1 dollar. Based on this information, what price increase would you recommend if the tariff legislation is passed by Congress? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places).
I would advise taking the following measures to ensure a successful entry into international markets: Conduct thorough market research to identify potential target countries with a demand for premium-quality stylish clothing. Consider factors like consumer preferences, cultural differences, existing competitors, and potential barriers to entry. There needs to research in regards to the export regulations and requirements of the target countries. Different countries may have specific rules and restrictions on textile imports, labeling, and quality standards. Before entering international markets, ensure that the brand identity is well-established and consistent. Make sure that the premium positioning, quality, and unique selling propositions are communicated clearly through branding and marketing materials. Maintain stringent quality control measures to ensure that the clothing consistently meets or exceeds the premium standards expected by target customers. Reputation is critical in…
20) This decision tree represents the expected profits and the standard deviations associated with three decisions facing a mobile phone producer (All figures are in millions of dollars). The root node (the one on the left) represents the decision of whether to produce the phones in China or North America. The second pair of nodes represent the decision of whether to market the phones in China or North America; and the final nodes represent the choice of selling price: if the phones are sold in China, they will be sold for either $30 or $40, whereas if they are sold in North America, they will be sold for either $40 or $50. Based on the calculated values, what is the company's best strategy?
