a competitive firm can sell any amoun if the firm set a price equal to the market price
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- A competitive firm can sell any amount if the firm set a price equal to the market price. True or false?The firm should be shut down if the market price isSuppose market demand for mobile operators is expressed by Q=90-3P where Q is measured by calls in hours. There are three firms that supply the market: TRCell,VFone, and Avea .Avea provide hourly calls at a unit cost of 20$, where as TRCell& VFone has a unit cost equal to 10 Suppose firms are competing in price( no capacity constraints ) a) What is the market price? Why? b) How much does each firm sell in Bertrand equilibrium? c) What are firms’ profits? Is there any way for all firms to get higher profits
- Based on Zangwill (1992). Murray Manufacturing runs a day shift and a night shift. Regardless of the number of units produced, the only production cost during a shift is a setup cost. It costs $8000 to run the day shift and $4500 to run the night shift. Demand for the next two days is as follows: day 1, 2000; night 1, 3000; day 2, 2000; night 2, 3000. It costs $1 per unit to hold a unit in inventory for a shift. a. Determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. (Note: Not all shifts have to be run.) b. After listening to a seminar on the virtues of the Japanese theory of production, Murray has cut the setup cost of its day shift to $1000 per shift and the setup cost of its night shift to $3500 per shift. Now determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of setup and inventory costs. All demand must be met on time. Show that the decrease in setup costs has actually raised the average inventory level. Is this…The firm would attract new entrants into the industry if the price isImagine you are the owner of the Omaha Surfboard Company. You have a branch in Omaha and in Long Beach CA. After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?
- Explain why the profit maximising price and quantity for a price-setting firm (in a market where it can only set one price) will result in an outcome that can be considered Pareto inefficient.The market for Ramen noodle bowls is perfectly competitive.
