In 1983, Motorola accounted for seventy five percent of the mobile phone market. But by 2019, its market share had shrunk to just 2.2%. In 1983, the Motorola launched one of the world’s first commercially available mobile phones—the DynaTAC 8000X. Motorola went on to launch a few more devices over the next few years and quickly became a dominant player in the emerging industry. In the early days of the market, the company’s only serious competitor was Finnish multinational Nokia. By the mid-1990s, other competitors like Sony and Siemens started to gain some solid footing, which chipped away at Motorola’s dominance. In September 1995, the company’s market share was down to 32.1%. By January 1999, Nokia surpassed Motorola as the leading mobile phone manufacturer, accounting for 21.4% of global market share. That put it just slightly ahead of Motorola’s 20.8%. Describe the market for mobile phones in 1983 and illustrate how equilibrium price and quantity determined in this industry and…
Suppose Giocattolo of Italy and American Toy Company of the United States are the only two firms producing toys for sale in the U.S. market. Each firm realizes constant long-term costs so that the average total cost (ATC) equals the marginal cost (MC) at each level of output. Thus, MCo = ATCO is the long-term market supply schedule for toys. Suppose Giocattolo and American Toy Company operate as competitors, and the cost schedules of each company are MCo = ATCO = $10. On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to identify the competitive market equilibrium. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to identify consumer surplus in this case. Note: Select and drag the point from the palette to the graph. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. Then select and drag the shaded region from the palette to the graph. To resize the shaded region, select one of the points and move to the desired position. ? PRICE (Dollars per toy) 20 18 16 14 10 00 6 4 2 0…

Back in 2013, Foxtel had just finished acquiring Austar, its major competitor. Foxtel was enjoying near total dominance in the market. There were other players such as Optus TV and iiNet, however, their market shares were dwarfed by that of Foxtel. IBISWorld reported that Foxtel occupied 92.6% of market share in 2013. Then in March 2015, Netflix Australia was launched, opening the gate for an influx of other subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services. These new services were internet-based, which differed from Foxtel’s model of cable TV. Nevertheless, they competed fiercely for subscribers. Fast forward to the present day (October 2021), Australian consumers now have a wealth of choices of content offered by Foxtel, Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Disney+, Optus Sport, and the recently launched Paramount+ (launched in August 2021). Question 1. Back in 2013, which market structure would best describe the pay-for-viewing TV industry in Australia? Clearly explain why. Question 2.…

The mobile phone landscape looks drastically different today than it did three decades ago. In 1983, Motorola accounted for seventy five percent of the mobile phone market.
