Suppose that there are two competing types of high-definition DVD players, Greenbeam and Mosdef, and each uses a different format. The DVD players are subject to network externalities: the more people who use one type of player, the more production companies adopt that particular format for their movies, and the greater the value of that player to each user. Greenbeam and Mosdef entered the market at around the same time. Which of the following is likely to happen if Greenbeam sells its DVD players at its profit-maximizing price, but Mosdef sells its DVD players at a much lower price than Greenbeam's at the early stages? O Mosdef will dominate the market for high-definition DVD players. O Greenbeam will dominate the market for high-definition DVD players. Greenbeam and Mosdef will have equal market shares. O Neither Greenbeam nor Mosdef will succeed, and a new company could easily enter and dominate the market. OO

The Chicago Bears offer what are essentially two products: preseason and regular season football games. They play 2 preseason and 8 regular season home games. Suppose that Fred is a serious football fan. He values the preseason games at $140 each and the regular season games at $220 each. Joe is a more casual fan. He values the preseason games at $170 each and the regular season games at $180 each. Suppose that Fred and Joe are the only fans. If the Bears sell the tickets separately, the price of a ticket to a preseason game will be $ 140 The price of a ticket to a regular season game will be $ 180 Total revenue that the Chicago Bears collect will be $ 3440 If the Bears bundle tickets for the two preseason and eight regular season games together, the price the team will set for the bundle is S. Total revenue that the Chicago Bears collect will be S Should the Bears' managers sell the tickets separately or as a bundle? O A. The Bears should sell the tickets separately because they earn…
Andy and Cathy are in the sporting good industry. Andy has developed a new lightweight soccer goal and is trying to decide whether to sell it at a high price or a low price. Selling the good at a higher price will provide higher profits but might entice Cathy to develop and sell a competing lightweight soccer goal. A lower price could deter entry from Cathy. After Andy sets his price, Cathy must decide to enter the market for the new lightweight soccer goal or not. Assume that both Andy and Cathy must make at least $5,000 to make the investment worthwhile. Which price will Andy charge? O high price ● low price What will Cathy do as a result of Andy's choice? O Cathy will enter the market. O Cathy will not enter the market. Indicate each person's final profit.

Scenario: In the town of Isoville there are two grocery stores: Alfonso’s Ammenities and Bernice’s Bargains. The grocery stores are located at either end of the town, 1km apart. Recently, the manager of Alfonso’s Ammenities has proposed installing new self-service checkout technology, which promises to reduce the cost of each transaction at the grocery store by reducing staffing costs. The new technology is expected to reduce the marginal cost of selling a typical basket of groceries by $3. However, experience in other locations has shown that in about 25% of installations the self-service technology results in a significant increase in shop-lifting. In these cases, the need to hire extra security staff means that the marginal cost of a typical basket only falls by $1.50. Unfortunately, there is no way to know whether extra security will be required until after the new checkouts are installed.The Market: Isoville has 12,000 households, each of which purchases 1 basket of groceries per…
Table: Two Rival Gas Stations Speedy Gas High Price. Low Price $100, $100 $150, $25 High Price $25, $150 Swifty Gas Low Price $50, $50 Look at the table Two Rival Gas Stations, which shows a payoff matrix for two gas stations in a small town. Each firm can set either a high price or a low price, and customers view these two firms as nearly perfect substitutes. Profits in each cell of the payoff matrix are given as (Swifty, Speedy). If both firm know that they will play the same game repeatedly for many time, both of them will choose tit-for-tat strategy. After they play the game for 10 times, what will be the Speedy Gas's total payoff for the 10 times: O $100 O $500 O $1500 O $150 O None of these options is correct.
The French autoroute network is composed of toll motorways with entrances marked as such. A motorist entering the network obtains a ticket from a toll booth and pays a toll when leaving the motorway. Given the number of vehicles traveling these routes, congestion at both entrances and exits is common. Suppose that four groups, each of 50 motorists, use an autoroute. The price each group is willing to pay, v, differs among groups and falls as the amount of congestion, c, increases in the following way: vij = vi max-cj; i, j = 0,..., 3, where vi max = 0.4 -0.1 * i euros per kilometer is the maximum group i is willing to pay to use the motorway and cj = 0.06 * j euros per kilometer is the loss in value as more groups use it. The marginal cost of using the autoroute, not including the marginal cost of congestion, is zero. a. If the toll charged for using the autoroute equals a motorist's marginal private cost-the price in a competitive market-how many vehicles per minute will use it? Which…
