Consider a product market with three consumers A, B and C with demand function PA = 6 – QA, PB = 6 – 2QB and PC = 12 – QC respectively, where P is the price in dollars and QA, QB and QC are the quantities demanded by Consumer A, B and C respectively. The marginal cost of the product is constant at $4. (i) If the product is public good, analyse the product and determine the optimal quantity of the product in the market.(ii) How will your answer be different if the product is a private good instead? (Hi there, may I requst for a detailed step by step explanation as i struggle with this topic. Thank you)
Imagine that you could increase the price for a product that has a profit margin of 8% on its price. If you could increase the price by 1% AND simultaneously keep the sales volume (in unit terms) at the same level as before the price increase, calculate the impact of this price increase on the profit margin. (For this question, assume there are no fixed costs. You just need to calculate the PERCENTAGE CHANGE in profit margin)
