- Your task is to show what the profit of this firm might look like using a key economics diagram. To make graphing easier, we will consider the price of the Ozempic drug for the middle-income country Bangladesh, which is $38 (assumed the profit-maximising price). For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.Using a graph, explain why a firm might not want to spend A on advertising, even though it shifts the firm's demand curve to the right. In the figure to the right, let D¹ and MR¹ be demand and marginal revenue before advertising. Assume the monopoly has a constant marginal cost with no fixed cost such that MR¹ = AC¹. Then, suppose the monopoly advertises and that the advertising shifts demand and marginal revenue to D² and MR². Assume advertising is a marginal cost, such that the new marginal cost after advertising is still a constant and still equals a new average cost. Using the line drawing tool, graph the marginal cost curve, reflecting the cost of the advertising, such that the monopoly breaks even from advertising. Label this curve 'MC².

- Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls Excel. Both can be produced at zero marginal cost. There are two types of consumers for these products, who exist in roughly equal proportions in the population: authors, who are willing to pay $120 for Word and $40 for Excel, and economists, who are willing to pay $50 for Word and $150 for Excel. a. Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell Word and Excel separately. What price should Microsoft set for Word? What price should Microsoft set for Excel? What will Microsoft's profit be from a representative group of one author and one economist? c. Suppose that Microsoft decides to bundle together Word and Excel in a package called Office, and not offer them individually. What price should Microsoft set for the package? Why? How much profit willI Microsoft generate from a representative group of one author and one economist? d. Does bundling allow Microsoft to generate higher profit…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…Verizon can be viewed as a first mover.

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…
- To answer this question, you will want to work out the answer using a graph on a piece of scratch paper (not turned in). You are going to compare the outcomes in the case where there is perfect competition to the monopoly case. So, as an intermediate step, you will need to compute the equilibrium outcomes under competition and monopoly. Suppose that you have the following information about the demand for oil. Price ($/barrel) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 Suppose that the marginal cost to produce a barrel of oil is $20. What is the deadweight loss if the oil market is a monopoly?

The marginal cost for the average unit of physician service in your group is approximately $536. A. Using the economic pricing model formula, calculate your profit-maximizing price for each unit of physician services. B. Suppose that your medical group is considering new contracts with two particular businesses to provide physician services to their employees. If the marginal cost for each service unit is the same as with the rest of your customers, but the price elasticity of demand from the first new business customers is −0.9, and the second group of business customers is −4.4, how would that change your profit-maximizing price for each of the new groups? Would you recommend that your medical group obtain contracts with both new groups, just one of them or none? Explain your reasoning. C. In order to maximize your profits, what specific…Question 1: Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls Excel.

Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell Word and Excel separately. What price should Microsoft set for Word?

- Suppose, in a small city, a large share of the supply of COVID vaccine comes from USA and UK. Suppose that the marginal cost of vaccine is constant at $2 per vaccine and the demand for vaccine is described by the following schedule: Price ($) Quantity 70 5 4 80 3 90 100 1 110 a. If there were many suppliers of vaccines, what would be the price and quantity? b. If there were only one supplier of vaccines, what would be the price and quantity? [Hint: profit]Question 1 The market for sunglasses has one dominant firm, Luxottica, and 10 small firms. The total market demand curve is given by Qp = 310- 1.5P. The total market supply curve for the 10 small firms is given by Qs = 10 + 1.5P, and Luxottica has a constant marginal cost of S36 per sunglass. According to the price leadership model, what price will Luxottica choose to sell its sunglasses at, and how many will they produce and how many will the 10 small firms produce together? Price: $ Luxottica Quantity: sunglasses 10 small fims combined Quantity: sunglassesSuppose that managers at Honda are deciding how to price the new Honda Accord. 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. At what quantity does marginal revenue roughly equal marginal cost?…
