Question
Two television networks (X and Y) are considering paying for the right to show movie A and/or movie B. Network X would be willing to pay $18,000 for movie A and $22,000 for movie B, while Network Y would be willing to pay $17,000 for movie A and $25,000 for movie B. Should the movie distributor sell the movies separately or as a pure bundle, and what will the profit be for the movie distributor?
Select one:
a.
Sell as a bundle, profit will be $80,000
b.
Sell separately, profit will be $78,000
c.
Sell as a bundle, profit will be $84,000
d.
Sell separately, profit will be $94,000

- The following table shows the maximum amount five potential car buyers are willing to pay for each level of sales. Suppose that the cars are being sold by a car dealer operating as a monopoly (perhaps because there are no other car dealers in the market). Maximum Amount He or She Would Pay for the Car Buyer 1 $40,000 Buyer 2 $35,000 Buyer 3 $30,000 Buyer 4 $25,000 Buyer 5 $20,000 a) If the price of the car is $30,000, the revenue will be $............thousand.b) If the marginal cost of each car is $20,000. The monopolistic car dealer will want to sell 3 cars and the price will be $................. thousand.c) In a perfectly competitive market, the number of cars sold would be 5 cars.

We are currently charging a 10 percent premium over its price, but there are rumors that it is contemplating a 10 percent price increase to bring its price in line with ours. We don’t know its cost structure, so we don’t know whether its price increase is driven by rising costs or a strategic move to gain margin. Historically, when we both charge the same price, our market share is about 65 percent. When we charge a 10 percent premium over its price, our market share declines to about 60 percent. It appears that in those instances when it charges a 10 percent higher price than us, our market share is about 70 percent. Please provide a recommendation regarding whether we should maintain our current price or reduce our price to $79.95. Please factor into your recommendation that we pay programming fees that amount to…arrow_forwardDemonstrate graphically why persuasive advertising which makes consumers more loyal Demonstrate graphically why persuasive advertising, which makes consumers more loyal to the advertised brand, is likely to increase a firm’s market power (its ability to raise price above marginal cost).

- 11. Consider the interaction between a retailer and a manufacturer. The manufacturer's marginal cost is 2 and it sets the price p in the first stage of the game. The retailer purchases the product from the manufacturer at this price (so the retailer treats p as its marginal cost) and sells the product at price r in the second stage of the game (this makes the retailer's profit function (r p)g). The market demand is q = 12 – 2r. What will be the prices set by the manufacturer and by the retailer?arrow_forwardhere are two firms in the market, Pepsi and Coke. Strategies: Low price (price promotion, LP), Medium price (regular price, RP), high price (new price strategy, HP).

- List three factors that make collusion possible?arrow_forwardProfit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.75 per can. Your friend Rajiv says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the…arrow_forwardUsing a graph, explain why a firm might not want to spend A on advertising, even though it shifts the firm's demand curve to the right. In the figure to the right, let D¹ and MR¹ be demand and marginal revenue before advertising. Assume the monopoly has a constant marginal cost with no fixed cost such that MR¹ = AC¹. Then, suppose the monopoly advertises and that the advertising shifts demand and marginal revenue to D² and MR². Assume advertising is a marginal cost, such that the new marginal cost after advertising is still a constant and still equals a new average cost. Using the line drawing tool, graph the marginal cost curve, reflecting the cost of the advertising, such that the monopoly breaks even from advertising. Label this curve 'MC².!

You woke up this morning to a troubling advertisement on TV: A+ Rental Cars' local competitor is discounting their economy rentals. After doing a little digging, you discover that your competitor has launched an aggressive advertising campaign, reducing the price on their economy line from $32.99 to $24.99. Based on your knowledge of previous pricing practices, you expect a similar price reduction across all vehicle types.arrow_forward
