You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist. You currently earn $0 economic profits, while the monopolist earns $5. If you enter the market and the monopolist engages in a price war, you will lose $5 and the monopolist will earn $1. If the monopolist doesn’t engage in a price war, you will each earn profits of $2.There are two possible solutions or equilibria. What are they? You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist
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.
Match the statements to complete a correct sentence A market structure with only one seller called Monopoly A market structure with few sellers called Oligopoly If the income elasticity of demand for bananas is 3.45, then banana's considered as Choose. The cost that is declining as output increase Choose. The quantity that consumer is willing and able to buy at a given price and time period is Quantity demanded The quantity that producer is willing and able to sell at a given price and time period is Quantity supplied The cost that remain unchanged regardless of of level of production called Choose. The time frame at which at least one input is fixed called Choose.. If the elasticity of demand is infinity, then the demand curve is Choose. If the elasticity of demand is zero, then the demand curve is Choose. The time frame at which all inputs are variables called Choose. If the cross elasticity of demand between good A and B is -2.7, then A and B are Choose.
Exercise 3.8. Dayna's Doorstops, Inc. (DD) is a monopolist in the doorstop industry. Its cost is C = 100 - 5Q + Q², and demand is P = 55 - 2Q. a) What price should DD set to maximize profit? What output does the firm produce? How much profit and consumer surplus does DD generate? b) What would output be if DD acted like a perfect competitor and set MC = P? What profit and consumer surplus would then be generated? c) What is the deadweight loss from monopoly power in part (a)? d) Suppose the government, concerned about the high price of doorstops, sets a maximum price at $27. How does this affect price, quantity, consumer surplus, and DD's profit? What is the resulting deadweight loss? e) Now suppose the government sets the maximum price at $23. How does this decision affect price, quantity, consumer surplus, DD's profit, and deadweight loss? f) Finally, consider a maximum price of $12. What will this do to quantity, consumer surplus, profit, and deadweight loss?
Billy Bob's is catering to Baruch College and there are two types of customers: faculty and students. There are 40 faculty members willing to pay $30 per meal while there are 660 students willing to pay $5 per meal. There are 700 meals available at the catering event. Suppose the total cost of catering the event, including the meals, is $2,000. How much profit will Billy Bob's earn if they can perfectly price discriminate? $1,300 $3,500 $4,500 $2,500
The table shows the demand schedule for a particular product. Quantity Price 0 100 300 90 600 80 900 70 1200 60 1500 50 1800 40 2100 30 2400 20 2700 10 3000 0 Suppose the market for this product is served by two firms who have formed a cartel and are colluding to set the price and quantity in this market. If the marginal cost to produce this product is constant at $40 per unit, then what price will the cartel set in this market? a. $40 b. $50 c. $60 d. $70 e. $80
Answer choices are first blank: negative, positive, zero second blank: an equal number of, fewer, more
Consider the long-run equilibrium in a monopolistically competitive market. Which of the following alternatives is correct? (a) Price is equal to marginal cost (b) The equilibrium is cost-efficient: Firms produce at the minimum of the average cost curve (c) The equilibrium is welfare-efficient: There is no deadweight loss (d) There are no barriers to entry: Every firm earns zero profits
Imagine any market divided by 2 Cournot oligopolists who have identical costs Marginal cost = Average cost = 200. About this market, ask yourself: a) If the demand curve for this market is given by Q = 1250 - 2.5P, where Q is the total quantity demanded in the market and P is the selling price, both given in units, what is the reaction curve of the oligopolists? b) What will be the quantity produced and the selling price of the oligopolists? c) A strategist considers that a good marketing campaign would be able to expand the Demand of this market to Q = 1,500 - 2.5P and that in this way, oligopolists could produce the same amount and make significantly greater profits. Such a campaign would generate a reduction in profits in the order of 70,000. Is it worth making this investment in marketing?

A profit-maximizing ten-pin bowing club segments its market by practicing third-degree price discrimination. It charges juniors $4 per game based on their price elasticity of demand of –2.0. Its adult customers have a price elasticity of demand of –1.4. The marginal cost per game does not vary by the customer’s age. What price does the ten-pin bowling club charge adult customers?
