Calculate the arc cross elasticity between Product B and Product A. Is B a substitute or complement for A? Explain. Does Product A follow the "law of demand'? Explain.
You are the manager of a monopolistically competitive firm. The present demand curve you face is P = 100 - 4Q. Your cost function is C(Q) = 50 + 8.5Q2 (That's Q squared). 1. What level of output sho
Consumers will feel that the camera with the longest warranty is high quality and that with the shortest warranty is low quality. The camera companies want to maximize the profit per camera. What's
a. What are the price and output if the firms set the price equal to the marginal cost? b. What are the profit maximizing price and output if the firms collude and act like a monopolist?
Question 1: Monopolistic competition differs from perfect competition because in monopolistically competitive markets:
The firm can purchase all the capital and labor it wants at prices r and w, respectively. 1) Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the cost function c(r,w,y). Find the average and marginal co
a. What is the firm’s optimal output? b. What price should the firm charge? c. How much should the production division charge the marketing division for each unit of the product?
1) Find the break even point in the original situation. 2) Find the break even point after the cost change. (Round the breakeven point to a whole number.)
a. Determine the marginal revenue product function. b. Determine the marginal factor cost function. c. Determine the optimal value of L, given that the objective is to maximize profits.
Determine the breakeven output and total sales revenues. Determine the output that would generate a total profit of 60,000 and the total sales revenue at that output level.
Describe the output and price effects that influence the profit-maximizing decision faced by a firm in an oligopoly market. How does this differ from output and price effects in a monopoly market?
One months ago, they added five workers, and productivity also increased by 50,000 pages. Copiers cost about twice as much as workers. Would you recommend they hire another employee or buy another co
The table above shows the weekly relationship between output and number of workers for a factory with a fixed size of plant. Using Excel, a. Calculate the marginal product of labor. b. Calculate the
Prepare a 400-500-word paper analyzing the current market conditions for Shell Oil Company and address the following topics in your analysis:
Requirement 1: Assume that only one product is being sold in each of the four following case situations:
a.) If fixed costs are equal to $1,000, derive the firm's total cost function and marginal cost function. b.) Derive a total revenue function and a marginal revenue function for the firm.
Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools rounding answers to 2 decimals places.
Problem: Why is the cost-allocation method used by an organization an important part of its cost accounting system?
As manager of BooBox you enjoy patented technology that permits your company to produce boxes faster and at lower cost than Flimflax. You use this advantage to be first to choose profit-maximizing o
Tinley Paper, Inc. produces uncoated paper used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Newsprint, a major product, is sold in a perfectly competitive market. The following relation exists bet
Calculate the opportunity cost of an increase in the number of hours spent studying in order to earn a 3.0 GPA rather than a 2.0 GPA.
Use the following equations to demonstrate why a firm producing at the output level where MR = MC will also be able to maximize its total profit (i.e., be at the point where marginal profit is equal
a). Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing output and price. b). Calculate the monopolist's profit. c). What is the Lerner index for this industry?
If firm A produces 100 record albums and 100 video cassettes, how might firm A be made better off by shifting its output mix?
Suppose marginal cost increases to 25 as a result of the imposition of a tax. What happens to the monopoly and competitive price and output?
