In doing so, he estimated the following profit outcomes (in thousands of dollars) resulting from the strategies that he and Mortons might implement: Morton's Marketing Target Enter Don't Enter -$200, -850 $50, $100 $105, $0 Businesses $90, $0 Тоm…

2. Two cereal firms that set prices and sell differentiated products propose to merge. Firm 1sells CrunchyCrunch for a price of $10 with a marginal cost of $6. Firm 2 sells FibryFibre for aprice of $12 and a marginal cost of $6.(a) When the price of CC rises, 20% of its lost demand goes to FF. What is the marginal costreduction for CC that is required to offset the upwards pricing pressure on the CC price?(b) You are employed as a consultant by the merging firms. You know that the DOJ knowsthat the marginal cost of FF will fall by 50 cents as a result of the merger, but that the agency isunsure of the diversion between FF and CC. How small will you need to claim that the diversionis in order for there to be no net upwards pricing pressure on the CC price?
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.
