2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Wonka's reaction function with qw expressed as a function of qh?c.

Draw the graph. If the monopoly is a price-discriminating monopoly charging some customers P1= $950 and other customers P2=$400, then: 1. At the price P1= $950, the monopoly will sell a quantity Q1 = ______ 2. At the price P2= $400, the monopoly will sell a quantity Q2 = ______. (Obs: calculation required here!)3. Total quantity sold at both prices is Q3 = Q1 + Q2 = ___________. 4. The profit earned from selling the quantity Q1 at P1 is Profit1 = ____________________(identify the area on the graph and calculate it).5. The profit earned from selling the quantity Q2 at P2 is Profit2= ____________________(identify the area on the graph and calculate it).6. The total profit earned by the price discriminating monopolist is Profit = Profit1 + Profit2 = _______.

The figure to the right shows an industry composed of a single monopolistic domestic firm. Initially, the firm sells its output exclusively in the domestic market. According to this figure, the profit-maximizing output level is units and the price is $ Now suppose that this domestic monopolist begins to sell in foreign markets as well, where it faces a perfectly elastic demand at $6.00. In the figure, using the line drawing tool, draw the demand curve this firm faces in its foreign markets. Label this line DF- Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. Now that this firm is operating in two segmented markets, the firm produces units of output and is accused of dumping because: O A. more output (4 units) is sold in foreign markets than at home (2 units). O B. the foreign price of $6.00 is less than the domestic price of $8.00. 10.00- 9.00- 8.00- 7.00- 6.00- 5.00- 4.00- 3.00- 2.00- 1.00- 0.00- 0 Cost, C and Price, P 1 MRDOM MC DDOM 4 9 Quantities produced…
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
