Take this hypothetical situation: Suppose that the supply side of the market for for electric energy is comprised of two sellers: Seller 1 and Seller 2. Let P be the price of one unit of electric energy, and Q be the quantity of electric energy.
Seller 1 owns a hydropower factory with a constant marginal cost of $3 and can produce a maximum of 10 units of electric energy. In addition, the hydropower plant has a requirement of a minimum of 3 units of electric energy.
Seller 2 owns a solar factory to produce electric energy. This factory has a constant marginal cost of $5 and can produce a maximum of 5 units of electric energy.
With this given information, please sketch the market supply by aggregating the two individual supplies. Please label the graph clearly for slopes, kinks, intercepts, etc.

Demand for Thunder games in Seattle is given by: P (Q) = 490 -20 The marginal cost of production in both cities is
constant at MC = 70. Suppose that the Thunder faces an extra fixed cost of 10000 in Seattle because they need to build
a new stadium if they move. If the Thunder decides to stay in Oklahoma City, they don't need to pay the fixed cost. Cities
can still offer bids to attract the team. a) Will the Thunder move to Seattle? b) How much is the winning bid? c) What is
the profit plus bid for the Thunder? d) What is the value minus bid for the winning city?

The managers estimate that their total costs increase by $20,000 for each car they produce. They also estimate the demand curve they face; it is described by the equation: Q = -0.4 P + 16,000, where Q represents the quantity of Honda Accords they will sell and P represents the price they charge in US dollars. We can re-write that demand curve as: P = 40,000 - 2.5 Q. Take every possibly quantity that the managers might choose between and 7,000 in units of 100. For each possible quantity, calculate the associated price the managers would need to charge, the revenue they would earn, and the total costs. You can then calculate profits for each level of quantity. Highlight the cell that contains the highest value of profit. Finally, you can also approximate marginal revenue here as the change in total revenue after the next 100 cars are produced.

- Verizon can be viewed as a first mover. Now suppose both ATT and Verizon are considering whether and how to enter a potential market. Market demand is given by the inverse demand function p= 900−q1−q2, where p is the market price margin, q1 is the quantity sold by Verizon and q2 is the quantity sold by ATT. To enter the market, a retailer must build a store. Two types of stores can be built: Small and Large. The Small store requires an investment of $50,000, and it allows the retailer to sell as many as 100 units of the goods at zero marginal cost. Alternatively, they can pay $175,000 to construct a Large store that will allow it to sell any number of units at zero marginal cost. Assume Verizon enters and builds a Large store (i.e. chooses to build a Large store L1 at the first stage.) Calculate Verizon's profit for the following cases: a.) ATT chooses not to enter N at the second stage after viewing Verizon's choice. b.) ATT chooses to build a Small store S at the second stage…arrow_forwardConsider the competitive market for production of a chemical as shown in the diagram below.

It is well known that every gallon produced increases health costs in society, but there is a lot of argument over how much health costs increase. In reality the number is that health costs increase by $3 per gallon produced, but that it hard to discover.

On a per unit basis, the cost of producing and manufacturing a bag of potato chips rises by $1.50. The firms are citing higher labor costs and fewer potatoes are grown due to the poor climate. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity? Whichever curve you think a shift will occur, derive the new function. Suppose that a health news piece has been published indicating the ill effects of consuming potato chips. The news has been published after the firms incurred the higher costs of production. Consumers are being advised to consume popcorn or pretzels instead of potato chips. How would that affect the market for potato…arrow_forward
