- At a time when demand for ready-to-eat cereal was stagnant, a spokesperson for the cereal maker Kellogg's was quoted as saying, “. for the past several years, our individual company growth has come out of the other fellow's hide." Kellogg's has been producing cereal since 1906 and continues to implement strategies that make it a leader in the cereal industry. Suppose that when Kellogg's and its largest rival advertise, each company earns $0 billion in profits. When neither company advertises, each company earns profits of $10 billion. If one company advertises and the other does not, the company that advertises earns $52 billion and the company that does not advertise loses $2 billion. For what range of interest rates could these firms use trigger strategies to support the collusive level of advertising?

Why do monopolistically competitive firms spend funds for the product development and advertising when this practice only adds to the firm’s costs? Explain how concentration ratios and barriers to entry into the market relate to Monopolistic Competition and OligopolySuppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve for the firm. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Nex place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost. (?)

During your next trip to the supermarket (or you may need to make a special trip) find two examples of different goods for which the market is oligopolistic. Make certain that you have chosen a ‘good’ and not a brand name. Remember that several brand names compete in a market. List all the brand names (or at least four brands if there are dozens) and the parent company for each brand name (check the package carefully so that you don’t confuse brand names with the actual producer.) For each good, what is your evidence that this market is oligopolistic? (number of producers; shelf space give to each one; identical pricing.)
