P-TV and QRS-TV are planning their fall line-up. Suppose that sit-coms are more popular than reality shows, and so generate more advertising revenue than do reality shows, but they are more expensive to produce since real actors must be hired. In the following decision tree, QRS-TV announces its decision first and P-TV observes that choice before it decides whether to air a sit- com in the same time slot or a reality show. Both stations know all of the information shown in this diagram when they make their decisions. QRS-TV Sit-com Reality P-TV. P-TV Sit-com Reality Sit-com Reality -QRS-TV eams - $5 million; P-TV earns -$5 million QRS-TV earns +$5 million; P-TV cams +$20 million QRS-TV earns +$20 million, P-TV earns +$5 million QRS-TV earns +$10 million; P-TV eams +$10 million Given the information in this decision tree, this season programming in this time slot on QRS-TV and P-TV will be: Select one: O a. a sit-com on QRS-TV and a reality show on P-TV. O b. only sit-coms. O c. only reality shows. d. a reality show on QRS-TV and a sit-com on P-TV.

k : ces As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 50 percent chance of low demand and a 50 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P= 300,000-400Q and P= 500,000 -225Q, respectively. Your cost function is CQ) = 165,000+ 243,750Q.

As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 300,000 – 400Q and P = 500,000 – 275Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 140,000 + 240,000Q.

PQ 18.02 (and 18.03) Two businesses in a market can decide to increase the amount of stores they operate. If neither business adds new stores they will each earn $10 million in profit; if both add new stores they will each earn $4 million in profit; and if one adds new stores while the other does not, the business adding new stores earns profit of $10 million and the other earns profit of $5 million. If these businesses are not colluding we would expect: Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a both may or may not add new stores. b one business will add new stores and the other will not. c both will add new stores. d neither will add new stores.
As the manager of Smith Construction, you need to make a decision on the number of homes to build in a new residential area where you are the only builder. Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 80 percent chance of low demand and a 20 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 300,000 −300Q and P = 800,000 −200Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 180,000 + 260,000Q.

There is a Jexaco gas station right across the street from a Jalero station in Pennsylvania It is safe to assume that they compete locally for the same consumers and can observe the prices posted on each other's marquees. Demand for gasoline in this local market is Q = 80 − 6P, and both stations obtain gasoline from their supplier at $2.20 per gallon. On the day that both franchises opened for business, each owner was observed changing the price of gas advertised on its marquee more than 10 times; the owner of Jexaco lowered its price to slightly undercut Jalero's price, and the owner of Jalero lowered its price to beat Jexaco's. Since then, prices appear to have stabilized. Which of the oligopoly models is most suitable for explaining this behavior by these firms? Under current conditions, how many gallons of gasoline are sold in the market, and at what price? Would your answer differ if Jalero had service attendants available to fill consumers' tanks but Jexaco was only a…

For the past few months, an airline has had 25% empty seats (unsold roundtrip tickets) on its Boston to New York City route and is deciding whether to change the price of its roundtrip tickets. The costs to the airline of flying between Boston and New York City do not depend on the number of passengers. There are several competing airlines offering the same service between Boston and New York City and there are train and bus options available to travelers as well. Based on this information, your best advice is: A. Keep prices the same. B. Raise prices because total revenues will increase. C. Lower prices because total revenues will increase. D. Either raise or lower prices since total revenues are not being maximized.
