Mr. X and Ms. Y have entered into the following contractual arrangement with D. M. Kreps. Between now and the end of next week, each will install a certain amount of capacity for the manufacture of square based tri-prong slot poiuyts. Then Kreps will assume control of the capacity provided to him and produce and sell poiuyts. Demand for poiuyts is given by the demand function D = 10-P. (To keep matters simple, assume that production takes place for a single period.) The marginal cost of production of poiuyts is zero up to the total level of capacity that Mr. X and Ms. Y install. That is, if Mr. X installs capacity kx and M­s. Y installs capacity ky, then Kreps can produce up to k, + ky poiuyts and sell them, at zero additional cost. Kreps can, however, produce less if he so chooses. The contract signed by X, Y, and Kreps calls for Kreps to act in the best interests of X and Y. (He receives a smallf'ixed fee for doing so, which you may ignore.) So that there is no…
Q1: Analytical part - 8% Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q) = 0.25x2. Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is Xm- 100-2Pm) and Salalah (Salalah demand is X 100-4Ps). Therefore, the total demand is x-xm+ Xs. If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location? Answer:
Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions:   Bangladesh                 Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka                     Q2 =   8 – P2   Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is   C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2)   A.Determine the company’s total profit function. Also, (i) What are the profit maximizing levels of price and output for the two markets? (ii) Calculate the marginal revenues in each market.   B.Now consider two cases:   (i)  Company is effectively able to price discriminate in thetwo markets. What will be the total profits? (ii)  Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging thesameprice in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price,output, and the total profits?…
