The BCY Corporation provides accounting services to a wide variety of customers, most ofwhom have had a business association with BCY for more than five years.BCY's demand is: P = 24,000 – 20Q, and BCY's marginal cost of service is: MC = 40Q.a. If BCY charges a uniform price for a unit of accounting service, Q, what price must itcharge per unit, and how many units must it produce per time period in order to maximizeprofit? Calculate the consumer surplus.b. If BCY could enforce first-degree price discrimination, what would be the lowest pricethat it would charge and how many units would it produce per time period?c. With perfect price discrimination and ignoring any fixed cost, what is total profit andwhat is the amount of consumer surplus?
The soluation avilible I believe it is wrong so please solve it carefully Carl and Simon are the only sellers of pumpkins at the market, where the total demand function for pumpkins is q =3 ,200−1,600p. The total number of pumpkins sold at the market is q = qC + qS, where qC is the number that Carl sells, qS is the number that Simon sells. The cost of producing pumpkins for each farmer is $.50 per pumpkin; the fixed costs are zero. .a. Find the Cournot equilibrium price and quantities. .b. Find the Bertrand equilibrium price and quantities. . .c. Suppose now that every spring the snow thaws off of Carl’s pumpkin field a week before it thaws off of Simon’s. Therefore, Carl can plant his pumpkins one week earlier than Simon while predicting Simon’s choice based on the previous year information. Simon observes Carl’s choice and chooses how much pumpkin to plant. Find the new equilibrium price and quantities. .d. Compare the quantities and prices in parts a, b, and c. Rank these outcomes…
The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for fitness trackers. Hint: Once you have positioned the rectangle on the graph, select a point to observe its coordinates. PRICE(Dollars pertracker) 100 90 70 60 50 40 20 10 0 0 MO ATC AVC 50 60 70 80 10 20 30 40 QUANTITY (Thousands of trackers per day) 90 100 Profit or Loss In the short run, given a market price equal to $45 per tracker, the firm should produce a daily quantity of trackers. On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $45 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run thousand per day for the firm.
