1. There are two mobile phone firms operating in a market; FF (Firm 1) and Wodaphone (Firm 2). The market demand is P = 75 - 0.5(Q1 + Q2). The total costs for the two firms are 30Q1 and 30Q2. (a) If either FF or Wodaphone enjoyed a monopoly position in this market, what level of output would they produce? (b) Using a diagram, fully labelled, describe how the equilibrium outputs for the two firms are determined and solve mathematically for this solution. (c) The CEO of FF meets with her counterpart at Wodaphone and suggests that the two firms each produce 22.5 units. The CEO of Wodaphone accepts this suggestion. Why did the CEO of FF make this suggestion, and why did her counterpart at Wodaphone agree? Show this outcome on your diagram in (b). (d) After keeping to this agreement for 12 months, the CEO of Wodaphone notices that FF is actually producing more than 22.5 units. Why is FF doing this? Illustrate this on your diagram in (b). What action can Wodaphone take against FF?
True or false (A). A profit‐maximizing monopolist will produce output where marginal cost is equal to price (B). Suppose we know that a monopolist is maximizing profits. The monopolist has maximized the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost. (C) In perfect competition, MUX = PX is the condition that ensures that firms produce the right things.

1. A firm encounters a demand function Qd = 60–0.5P and MC = AC = $20 (a) If the market is a competitive market, find the firm's equilibrium quantity, price and profit. (b) If the firm is a monopolist, find the firm's equilibrium quantity, price and profit. (c) Suppose being a monopolist, this firm can discriminate the market. Compute quantity, price, profit, consumer surplus, and deadweight loss in the secondary market. (d) Compute the price elasticity of demand at equilibrium price in the original market.

10. Electronic Arts (EA) has decided to introduce a revolutionary video game. As the first firm in the market, it will have a monopoly position for at least some time. In deciding what type of manufacturing plant to build, it has the choice of two technologies. Technology A is publicly available and will result in annual costs of CA(q) 10 + 8q. Technology B is a proprietary technology developed in EA's research labs. It involves a higher fixed cost of production but lower marginal costs C'B (q) = 60 + 2q. EA must decide which technology to adopt. Market demand for the new product is p = 20 – Q, where Q is the total industry output. a) Suppose EA were certain that it would maintain its monopoly position in the market for the entire product lifespan (about five years) without threat of entry. Which technology would you advise EA to adopt? What would be EA's profit given this choice? b) Suppose EA expects its rival, Ubisoft, to consider entering the market shortly after EA introduces its…

A 100-miles long highway connects two landmarks, A and B. 10000 households are uniformly dis- tributed along this highway and have a round-trip travel cost of $1 per mile. a) A single household has a valuation of $40 per family cinema ticket. A for-profit cinema-chain has a cost to open a cinema theater of $50000. Find the optimal number of cinema theaters. b) A single household has a valuation of $40 for a picnic in a park. The state wants to open a few paid parks along the highway that will be funded by taxpayers. Each park requires $50000 to be constructed. How many parks should the state open?
For a monopolist, it is typically a great idea to implement third-degree price discrimination (the one where the monopolist chooses different prices for different groups of customers) when the consumers can easily re-sell the good to one another after acquiring it from the monopolist.
