What effect might suppliers have on an industry? O A. If an input is specialized, then the supplier is likely to have the bargaining power to limit a firm's profits. O B. Suppliers cannot affect output markets, although an output market with only a few firms is likely to have the bargaining power to limit a supplier's profits. Oc. If many firms can supply an input, then suppliers are likely to have the bargaining power to limit a firm's profits. O D. If only a few firms can supply an input, then markets will likely experience shortages because firms are unable to produce sufficient output. O E. If suppliers are price takers, then a firm will likely be a price taker with no ability to raise price.arrow_forward
- 1. Rio live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and he is thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000 except all cost like maintenance costs until two years, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Here are the demand schedules for his two types of customer: Price Adults Children $10 9 100 8 200 7 300 6 300 300 100 4 300 200 300 200 300 200 1 300 200 300 200 a. To maximize profit, what price would he charge for an adult ticket? For a child's ticket? How much the profit? (Hint: total cost for this year include fixed cost) b. Suppose in this year, the city council passes a law prohibiting him from charging different prices to different customers. What price does he set for a ticket now? How much profit now?

If both firms sell the product at a sales price, both firms earn a profit of 5. If both firms sell the product at the regular price, each firm earns a profit of 20. If firm B charges the regular price while firm A charges the sales price, firm A earns a profit of 60 while firm B has a loss of 15. If firm A charges the regular price while firm B charges a sales price, firm B earns a profit of 60 while firm A has a loss of 15. (a) Use the information to construct a payoff matrix for firms A and B. (b) Does firm A have a dominant strategy? (c) Does firm B have a dominant strategy?
