Suppose there are two airlines, A and B, competing for the market of route from New York to Anchorage, Alaska. They offer essentially the same services, and they compete by de- ciding on quantities. The market demand is described by P= 800-Q = 800-(QA+QB). Both airlines operate with the same marginal cost function: MCA = 200 + QA, MCB= 200 +QB. (a) What are the equilibrium prices and quantities in this oligopoly case? (b) Verbally argue why the total quantity in the oligopoly case is larger than that of a monopoly. (c) Instead of a merger, both airlines are "cross-held" by the same few large stock holders. What do you think the market will look like?

- Question 2: A market is contested by two firms, A and B, who compete in selling a homoge- neous good. Market demand is given by Q = 240 3p, where p is the price of the good. Firm A has constant marginal costs of 20 as long as it produces 100 units or fewer. Every unit above 100 costs 75 to produce. Firm B has the cost function CB = Q3, where QB is the quantity produced by firm B. The firms sequentially choose prices. A is the market leader and chooses its price first; B chooses its price after observing A's price. If they charge the same price each sells half of the demand at that price. The firms cannot turn away customers. What is the equilibrium price in this industry?Gary's Gas and Frank's Fuel are the only two providers of gasoline in their town. Below is the demand schedule for the market of gasoline. Assume that the cost of producing gasoline is zero per gallon (AC-D0, FC-0). Suppose that the two producers collude (split production and profits evenly), what are the profits of each firm? Q demanded (in gallons) 4 6 7 8. 10 Market price (in dollar) $22 $20 $18 $16 $14 $12 $10 $8 $6 $0 $70 $72 O $36 O $76 $64 3. 2. 1,Consider an electricity market where there are three suppliers, each with constant marginal cost (a reasonable approximation in electricity generation). Firm 1 has a capacity of 200 at MC = 5. Firm 2 has a capacity of 100 at MC = 8. Firm 3 has a capacity of 100 at MC = 10. a. If the three firms are price takers (i.e., behave competitively), what is the industry supply curve? b. Compute the equilibrium price and quantity when the market demand is Q(P) = 1000/p0.s. %3D c. Compute the equilibrium price and quantity when the market demand is Q(P) = 750/p0.5. %3D d. Compute the equilibrium price and quantity when the market demand is Q(P) = 500/P0.5.
- Suppose you're the manager of Babylon Jazz Bar. And, your bar has both young and adult customers. The demand for a typical adult customer is Q4 = 18– 3P and, for a typical young customers is Q' = 10 – 2P, where Q shows number of drinks and P shows price per drink. The marginal cost of a drink is 2-TL. And, you want to determine an entrance fee & a price per drink that maximize Babylon's profit. a. What will be the fees (entrance & per drink) for adult customers, and number of drinks? b. What will be the fees for young customers, and number of drinks? c. What is the profit of Babylon if there are 100 customers in each group?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. 194Two firms (called firm 1 and firm 2) are the only sellers of a good for which the demand equation is Here, q is the total quantity of the good demanded and p is the price of the good measured in dollars. Neither firm has any fixed costs, and each firm’s marginal cost of producing a unit of goods is $2. Imagine that each firm produces some quantity of goods, and that these goods are sold to consumers at the highest price at which all of the goods can be sold. A Cournot equilibrium in this environment is a pair of outputs (q1, q2) such that, when firm 1 produces q1 units of goods and firm 2 produces q2 units of goods, neither firm can raise its profits by unilaterally changing its output. Find the Cournot equilibrium. Determine whether the price at which the goods are sold exceeds marginal cost.
