3. The components of marginal revenue Alex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Alex produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Alex must lower his price from $80,000 to $40,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alex gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000. dollars per fire engine) PRICE (Thousands Alex 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 0 + 1 True + False 2 + 4…
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion 21. Which of the following is not one of the necessary conditions for perfect competition? A) Firms and consumers have complete information. B) Large number of firms. C) Firms' products are identical. D) Barriers to entry.
Please see the images of the article below and help answer questions. 3. Interpret this statement: "[Economists] see individuals and businesses as interchangeable atoms, not as unique creators. Their theories describe an equilibrium state of perfect competition because that is what's easy to model, not because it represents the best of business." Is the statement correct? Do economists have theories of monopoly and oligopoly as well? Does economic theory contend that for every product, the market for the product should be perfectly competitive? Does economic theory recommend that under certain conditions, products or production processes should be patented?
3. The components of marginal revenue Bob's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Bob produced five fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to six fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Bob faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Bob must lower his price from $160,000 to $120,000 per fire engine. Note that while Bob gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial five engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000.

The makers of Tylenol pain reliever do a lot of advertising and have very loyal customers. In contrast, the makers of generic acetaminophen do no advertising, and their customers shop only for the lowest price. Assume that the marginal costs of Tylenol and generic acetaminophen are the same and constant. a) Draw a diagram showing Tylenol's demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost curves. Label Tylenol's price and mark-up over marginal cost. b) Repeat part (a) for a producer of generic acetaminophen. How do the diagrams differ? Which company has the bigger mark-up? Explain. c) How might barriers to entry influence the behaviour of the makers of Tylenol? d) What factors would affect the extent to which the makers of Tylenol could engage in predatory or destroyer pricing to force out competitors in this market?
