The land leased by TEXplor lies above the same crude oil deposit. Assume each company sinks wells of the same size at the same time. If both companies sink wide wells, each will extract 2 million barrels in 6 months, but each company will receive profit of only GHC 1 million. On the other if each company sinks a narrow well, it will take a year for Clampett and TEXplor to extract their respective shares, but their profits will be GHC14 million apiece. Finally, if one company drills a wide well while the other company drills a narrow well, the first company will extract 3 million barrels and the second company will extract only 1 million barrels. In this case, the first company will earn profits of GHC 16 million and the second company will actually lose GHC 1million. 1. Illustrate this using a normal form game. 2.

- Superior Metals Company has seen its sales volume decline over the last few years as the result of rising foreign imports. In order to increase sales (and hopefully, profits), the firm is considering a price reduction on luranium--a metal that it produces and sells. The firm currently sells 60,000 pounds of luranium a year at an average price of $10 per pound. Fixed costs of producing luranium are $250,000. Current variable costs per pound are $5. The firm has determined that the variable cost per pound could be reduced by $.50 if production volume could be increased by 10 percent (fixed costs would remain constant). The firm's marketing department has estimated the arc elasticity of demand for luranium to be 1.5. a) How much would Superior Metals have to reduce the price of luranium in order to achieve a 10 percent increase in the quantity sold? b) What would the firm's (i) total revenue, (ii) total cost, and (iii) total profit be before and after the price…arrow_forwardNumber of Mean Raw Processing Capacity (Jobs per Bottleneck?
