2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Wonka's reaction function with qw expressed as a function of qh?c. What quantity of dark chocolate will each firm produce in equilibrium and what price will be established for a…

Suppose that a firm produces wool jackets in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost. (?)

A firm acts as a monopolist in two different markets. When free to do so, it chooses different prices in the two markets. If this firm were forced to choose one price to charge in both markets, it would O a. make conumers worse off in both market O b. make consumers better off in both markets. O c. make consumers better off in one market, and worse off in the other. O d. have an uncertain impact on consumers. We do not have enough information to chose any of the other answers.
XYZ company uses a technology for producing its good. This enables the firm to meet the entire market demand at a lower price than its two competitors. What factor makes XYZ company a monopolist? O a. All of these O b. a legal barrier to entry. O c. Knowledge of exclusive production techniques O d. increasing average total costs.
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves? A. The profit-maximizing level of output can be determined by comparing marginal revenue and total cost. B. Cannot be determined from this information C. The profit-maximizing level of output will be where there is the greatest difference between total revenue and total cost. O D. The profit-maximizing level of output will be where there is the smallest difference between total revenue and total cost.
