There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job. Assume Asphalt, Inc. has a marginal cost of $100 per driveway and Blacktop Bros. has a marginal cost of $150. Answer the following questions: Determine each firm’s reaction curve and graph it. How many paving jobs will each firm produce in Cournot equilibrium? What will the market price of a pave job be? How much profit does each firm earn?
Three firms are producing a good and are competing in prices: consumers buy from the firm that has the lowest price, and each firm on its own can satisfy the entire market. If more than one firm choose the same price the demand is divided equally among them. There are no other firms in the market. Two firms have the same constant marginal cost cL and the third one has a higher marginal cost cH : cL < cH . Explain what will be the equilibrium price in this market.
Consider the market for Atlantic salmon. Petuna, Tasmania’s smallest salmon farm, and Huon Aquaculture, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of Atlantic salmon. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the graph below: If the market price is $13 per kilo of salmon, how many kilos of salmon would Petuna supply? What about Huon Aquaculture? How many total kilos would they collectively supply? Is this allocation the most productively efficient way to produce this quantity of salmon? i will give thumbs up thanks
Suppose there are in total 3 firms in the market. Firm 1 decides its output first, then Firm 2 and Firm 3 decide their outputs simultaneously. The inverse demand function is p = 14 – 3q, where q = q1 + q2 + 43, and each firm's cost function is c(q.) = 2q?. What is the quantity that Firm 1 produces? Round your answer to 2 decimal points. Answer: The correct answer is: 1.04
