C2) Consider an industry with only two firms: firm A and firm B. The industry's inverse demand isP(Q) = 400 - ¹1/Q,10where P is the market price and Q is the total industry output. Each firm has a marginal cost of $10. There areno fixed costs and no barriers to exit the market.a) Suppose that the two firms engage in Cournot competition. Find the equilibrium price PNE in theindustry, the equilibrium outputs QANE and QBNE, as well as the profits NEA and NEB for each firm.marks]b) Suppose the two firms engage in Stackelberg competition, with firm A moving first, and firm Bmoving second. Find the equilibrium price PS in the industry, the equilibrium outputs QS and QBS, aswell as the profits π and TSB for each firm.вc) For this subquestion only, suppose that firm B has a fixed cost of $200 000: What will firm B'soptimal decision be, and what will be the resulting market structure?Now assume that instead of having two firms in the market, we have a monopoly facing the inverse demandP(Q): = 400-10Q. The monopoly's marginal cost is $10.d) Find the price PM and the quantity QM that the monopoly will optimally choose.

A company has a monopoly on themed vacations. It has two kinds of clients. After extensive market research, the monopolist has found that Americans' willingness-to-pay for vacations is given by Q = 50 –- P. Meanwhile, Europeans' willingness-to-pay is given by Q = 10 – P/4. In this question, we consider a brief period of time in which only one American and one European enter the firm's offices.
Kcable is a cable company and has a local monopoly in cable TV (good 1) and fiber Internet (good 2). Assume that the marginal cost of producing either good is zero. There are 1000 customers. The reservation price for the Internet is Ri and the reservation price for the cable is Rc where Ri ∈ [0,50] and Rc ∈ [0,10]. Customers are uniformly distributed. Suppose the goods are offered separately. Compute the monopoly prices for good 1 and good 2. Now assume that both goods are offered only as a bundle, but not separately. Compute the profit-maximizing bundle price. Let the two goods be offered separately at prices you have found in (a), and also as a bundle at price you have found in (b). Determine the monopolist's profit. Is there a more profitable way (more profitable than part c) to bundle the goods? It's a question that needs to be solved with numbers. Please give numbered answers.
The demand for home firm product is given by the inverse demand function: P = 120 −QD. The company’s costs are: T C = 20Q+ 200 and MC = $20.2. Suppose the home country open up to free trade and a foreign competitor enters the market. Assume thatthe foreign firm has the same cost structure as the home firm (the monopoly from the previous question).A) Derive the best response function for each firm (h-home and f-foreign)B) Find each firms’ output, the home market price, and each firms’ profit from the home market

Barney is a game designer but being old fashioned, he restricts his passion to creating board games. His latest game, Rubble Trouble, requires players to overcome various obstacles as they make their way around the board. Barney is concerned that others may copy his game. Based on your reading of the Business Law Textbook. Barney is best advised to protect his game by: Select one: a. Applying for a patent so that he is granted a monopoly over selling his game for 20 years. b. Registering his copyright, as copyright will protect his game for 50 years. Unless he registers his copyright, Barney will not be able to prevent others from copying his game. c. Registering a trademark. The trademark will prevent others from copying the game for 15 years, but trademarks are not renewable. d. Registering an industrial design, so that others will be prevented from creating board games of the same dimension and size.
For the monopoly represented by the figure to the right, at what quantity is its revenue maximized? (Hint: Revenue is maximize where MR = 0.) Why is revenue maximized at a larger quantity than profit? Show the revenue curve. In the figure to the right, let D be demand and MR be marginal revenue. The quantity at which revenue is maximized is Q = 10 units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) Revenue is maximized at a larger quantity than profit because A. costs are decreasing in output. OB. marginal costs can be negative. C. marginal revenue is decreasing in output. OD. D. revenue is greater than profit. OE. profit is decreasing in output. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, graph the monopoly's revenue curve. Label this curve 'R.'

In first-degree price discrimination, a monopolist manipulates market price by altering the quantity of product supplied to that market. Select one: True False A natural monopoly arises when the firm's technology has economies of scale small enough for it to supply some of the markets at a lower average total production cost than is possible with more than ane firm in the market. Select one: True False If a firm's production function is defined as, y=f(x;,X2Xa), the firm's profit is; II(x,,x, ,x,) = p(y)-w,x, - w,x, - w,x. Select one: True False
