Suppose market demand for mobile operators is expressed by Q=90-3P where Q is measured by calls in hours. There are three firms that supply the market: TRCell,VFone, and Avea .Avea provide hourly calls at a unit cost of 20$, where as TRCell& VFone has a unit cost equal to 10 Suppose firms are competing in price( no capacity constraints ) a) What is the market price? Why? b) How much does each firm sell in Bertrand equilibrium? c) What are firms’ profits? Is there any way for all firms to get higher profits
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Totalcost:TC=50+1/2q2 Marginalcost:MC=q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand:QD=120−P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market.1. Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed.2. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this market in the short run?3. In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate each firm's profit or loss. Is there incentive for firms to enter or exit?4. In the long run with free entry and exit, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?5. In this long-run equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? How many firms are in themarket?
Three firms are producing a good and are competing in prices: consumers buy from the firm that has the lowest price, and each firm on its own can satisfy the entire market. If more than one firm choose the same price the demand is divided equally among them. There are no other firms in the market. Two firms have the same constant marginal cost cL and the third one has a higher marginal cost cH : cL < cH . Explain what will be the equilibrium price in this market.

Suppose we have two identical fırms A and B, selling identical products. They are the only firms in the market and compete by choosing quantities at the same time. The Market demand curve is given by P=287-Q. The only cost is a constant marginal cost of $13. If Firm A produces a quantity of 60 and Firm B produces a quantity of 33, what is market price? Enter a number only, no $ sign. 194
There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job. Assume Asphalt, Inc. has a marginal cost of $100 per driveway and Blacktop Bros. has a marginal cost of $150. Answer the following questions: Determine each firm’s reaction curve and graph it. How many paving jobs will each firm produce in Cournot equilibrium? What will the market price of a pave job be? How much profit does each firm earn?
Based on Zangwill (1992). Murray Manufacturing runs a day shift and a night shift. Regardless of the number of units produced, the only production cost during a shift is a setup cost. It costs $8000 to run the day shift and $4500 to run the night shift. Demand for the next two days is as follows: day 1, 2000; night 1, 3000; day 2, 2000; night 2, 3000. It costs $1 per unit to hold a unit in inventory for a shift. a. Determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. (Note: Not all shifts have to be run.) b. After listening to a seminar on the virtues of the Japanese theory of production, Murray has cut the setup cost of its day shift to $1000 per shift and the setup cost of its night shift to $3500 per shift. Now determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. Show that the decrease in setup costs has actually raised the average inventory level. Is this…
