Suppose the government proposes a relief package in an urgent attempt to bail out virtually all industries across the board and offset the economic damage unleashed by the 3-month long coronavirus [COVID-19] crisis episode, and indeed, keeps its promise. Required: By approximately what factor [in the long-run] are businesses likely to discount their negative cash flows, to work out how much is needed to level their current losses? Further Instructions: Generally, I expect to see 'some kind' of formula or general rule, without much emphasis on quantitative values. Remember, this is an essay question, so, please feel free to express yourself as you please. I have allowed 40 lines per attempt (the maximum permitted by the system). All kinds of attachment file types are accepted. Though, voice notes are only considered supplementary at best (i.e. for support purposes). After all, I would much prefer to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times

A large mountain area in Western Norway has very favorable wind conditions and opportunity to establish a wind farm for the production of electric power which can be sold in the European power market. The company Power has previously gained the exclusive right to develop the area for power production. Let x be the number of dmøller set up in the area. The area is used by many people as recreation area, and is close to a major city. Power's profit depends on how many wind turbines set up. Let the profit be given by IP (X) = 100x - 5x 2 Two groups are negatively affected by the wind turbine development, the local population gen and the local tourism industry that sells adventure travel to foreign countries tourists. The value of the local population of the area given by the following function 1 V L (x) = V 0 - 30x - X 2 2 The tourism industry's profit is given by the following function πτ(x) πο- 10x- 1 X 2
Pre-mixed concrete is an important input for the construction industry. Concrete cannotbe stored or transported over long distances as it begins to set after only a few hours. Forthis reason, only the three local firms—Aggregate Inc., Big Industries and ConCorp—arein a position to compete in the market. Moreover, the capital and regulatory requirementsfor constructing a new concrete plant are substantial, creating an effective barrier to entry.Pre-mixed concrete is regarded as a homogeneous good by the construction industry.Inverse demand in the market has been estimated to be,P = 600 −Q/50,where P represents the price of a cubic metre of concrete in dollars, and Q is the totalnumber of cubic metres of concrete supplied into the market on a given day.At present the three firms appear have identical production costs, with each firm facingfixed costs of $400,000 per day and a marginal cost of $180 per cubic metre.Big Industries and ConCorp estimate that the proposed merger would reduce…
32.23 Millie Bush has written a best-seller. Revenues net of production costs are $3007¹/34¹/3 where T is the number of publicity trips Millie takes and A is the number of ads for the book that appear. Millie has to pay for all of her own publicity trips, which cost $100 each. Her publisher pays for the advertising, which costs $100 per ad. Revenues from the book are split equally between Millie and her publisher. Let T1 be the number of trips that Millie would choose to make in a Nash equilibrium where she chooses the number of trips and the publisher chooses the amount of advertising. Let T2 be the number of trips that Millie should make if trips and advertising are determined so as to maximize total profits net of trip and ad costs. (a) T1 = 1 and 72 = 1. (b) T1 = 1 and 72 = 2. (c) T1 = 2 amd T2 = 1. (d) T1 = 1 and T2 = 1/8. (e) T1 1/8 and T2 = 1.

1) Your firm must decide whether or not to introduce a new product. If you introduce the new product, your rival will have to decide whether or not to clone it. If you don't introduce the new product, you and your rival will earn $1million each. If you introduce the new product and your rival clones it, you will lose $5million and your rival will gain $20 million (you have spent a lot on R&D and your rival will not have to spend any R&D in order to clone it). If you introduce the new product and your rival does not clone, you will make $100million and your rival will make $0. a) Draw the extensive form (the tree diagram) of this game, carefully labeling each node and outcomes associated with each action. b) Should you introduce the new product? c) How would your answer change if your rival has "promised" not to clone your product? d) What would you do if patent law prevented your rival from cloning your product?

Acme Drug Co. has a patent on the drug A-rene, the annual demand for which can be described by the demand curve: Q = 4500 - 300P. Production of the drug requires an annual fixed cost of $3,000 and a per unit marginal cost of $5. (i) How many units of the drug will Acme produce each year, and what price will it charge, in order to maximize its profits? What will be its annual profits? (ii) Now suppose that the Better Drug Co. has discovered B-rene, a new drug which seems to be identical to A-rene in all its effects. If Better enters the market, competition with Acme will conform to a Cournot duopoly. Better’s costs are identical to those of Acme. What would be the equilibrium outcome of this duopoly? Specifically, how much would each firm produce and what would be the price? How much profit would each firm make? Would Better find it profitable to enter the market? (iii) Would it be in the interests of society as a whole for Better Drug to enter into production? Identify the gainers and…
