How did GE lose $507 billion (more than 85 percent) of its market valuation since its peak? What went wrong?
Assume that Gas & Minerals is the only copper mining firm in Chile. The national demand for copper in thousands of tonnes per month is: q^d(p) = 15 - pThe total costs in millions of dollars are: c(q) = 5q(a) What would be the profit-maximising level of production for this firm? Determine the monopoly price and quantify the profits. Graph the demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost, identifying their values along with determining the social loss generated and identifying it in the graph above.
Assume now that due to a bad internal restructuring, the operations manager was fired and a professional with little mining experience was hired. The new manager does not know environmental protocol and mining waste (tailings) has gotten out of control and has been dumped into a river. This generated a negative externality on copper production. The estimated damage is US$5 million per 1,000 tonnes.(b) Obtain the social marginal cost of this mining activity.(c) What level of production will…

The market demand for a monopoly firm is estimated to be:
Qd = 100,000 - 500P + 2M + 500PR
where Qd is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good. The manager has forecasted the values of M and PR will be $50,000 and $20, respectively, in 2016. The average variable cost function is estimated to be
AVC = 520 - 0.03Q + 0.000001Q2
Total fixed cost in 2016 is expected to be $4 million. The profit-maximizing price for 2016 is
$80.

Her manufacturer faces a market demand for Bedox of Q = 1,000 – 0.2P. She has a cost function of C = 300,000 – 1,000Q + 10Q^2.Suppose the government considers this “unfair to consumers” by allowing Bedox to charge such a high price. As such, the government has decided to impose a lump-sum tax of $200,000 on Bedox. Explain whether this policy can help alleviate the “unfairness to consumers”.arrow_forward14-2 German Brothels German brothels recently began offering a monthly subscription service for multiple purchasers.

The city faces competition from independent renewable power producers who also have licences to sell electricity to the public. The city however has cost advantages due to its size, but it is concerned of the political and economic ramifications of raising its tariffs, in these uncertain economic times. As a result, it is highly likely that tariffs will remain unchanged over the next financial year. The city’s marginal revenue is given as R3 000, and its costs are given as follows: TC = R82 000 + R1 000 + 0.01q2 MCMC= R1 000 + R0.02q Assess the efficiency arguments in favour of and against the renewable energy generation in South Africa?arrow_forwardA major South African city generates electricity and sells it to its consumers.
