- With formulaarrow_forwardLe Jouet is a French firm, and it is the only seller of toy trains in France and Russia. Suppose that when the price of toy trains increases, Russian children more readily replace them with toy airplanes than French children. Thus, the demand for toy trains in Russia is more elastic than in France. The following graphs show the demand curves for toy trains in France (Dr) and Russia (DR) and marginal revenue curves in France (MRF) and Russia (MRR). Le Jouet's marginal cost of production (MC), depicted as the grey horizontal line in both graphs, is $12, and the resale of toy trains from Russia to France is prohibited. Assume there are no fixed costs in production, so marginal cost equals average total cost (ATC).

- Suppose that firm Alphabet is the only company that sells all-inclusive vacation packages in the UK. It faces two markets with demand curves given by P₁ = 200 - Q₁ and P₂ = 100-Q2. Assume that Alphabet's total cost function is C = 400 + 200 1) What is the market structure of the all-inclusive vacation packages in the UK? Is firm Alphabet a price taker or price maker? Explain. 2) If Alphabet can price discriminate and could tell which consumer belongs to which market before the purchase happens, what is the type of price discrimination that Alphabet is practising? Explain. Give another example of the same type of price discrimination. 3) If Alphabet can charge different prices at those two markets, what price should it charge in each market in order to maximise profits? What are the quantities it should produce in each market? 4) What if he cannot price discriminate? Then what price should he charge? What is the quantity produced?arrow_forwardConsider a market with four firms. Suppose the first firm has a 54% market share, the second firm has a 30% market share, the third firm has a 15% market share, and the fourth firm has a 1% market share. Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), what is this market's level of concentration? —- . (Enter a numeric response using an integer.)arrow_forwardQ2: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC - 2Q -(1) - Firm B TC - 10 + 2Q - -(2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten bateches of 8,000. Use the information given about firms A and B and appropriate diagrams/figures to explain how the equilibrium for both firms will change if a rival company increases its prices.arrow_forward
- Suppose that the market consists of 6 identical firms , that the market demand curve is P=200-2Q and that each firm's marginal cost is 32. The cournot equilibrium quantity per firm is q=_____________________ and the equilibrium quantity in the market is Q=______________________. The market price is P=$______________ per unit.arrow_forward8.1. Bertrand in the real world. The Bertrand model of price competition suggests that, under a given set of conditions, firms make zero economic profits even if there are only two firms. However, there are many instances of industries with a small number of competitors where firms appear to earn more than zero economic profits. Give an example of an industry dominated by a couple of firms where profits are significant. Explain why the predictions of the Bertrand model are not borne out. (Cabral, 20170224) Cabral, L. B.

The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50. The Cournot price is lower than the Bertrand price by 25. The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50/3. Equilibrium prices under Cournot and Bertrand are the same, so the difference is zero.arrow_forward
