- Suppose there are only two gas stations in the remote town of Nome, Alaska and they are competitors. If one of them goes out of business, what will happen to the demand curve for the remaining gas station? In addition, what do you think will happen to prices? The graph below shows a demand for gasoline, with the price of gas and the sales of gas shown below on the graph. P P1 14 22 P2 32 D2 D1 Q1 Q2 Q3 The demand curve will pivot from D1 to D2 and prices will rise as demand becomes more inelastic. The demand will shift to the left, indicating lower demand when there are fewer stations. The demand curve will not change since everyone needs gas no matter what the price. The demand curve will pivot from D2 to D1 and prices will rise as demand becomes more inelastic. 00Economics Remove flag Anna, Bill, and Charles are competitors in a local market, and each is trying to decide whether it is worthwhile to advertise, If all of them advertise, each will earn a profit of $5000. If none of them advertise, each will earn a profit of $8000, If only one of them advertises, the one who advertises will earn a profit of $10,000 and the other two will each earn $2000. If two of them advertise, those two will each earn a profit of $6000 and the other one will earn $1000. If all three follow their dominant strategy, what will Anna do, and how much will she earn? Select one: a. Anna will advertise and earn $5000. b. Anna will advertise and earn $6000. C. Anna will not advertise and will earn $8000, d. Anna will advertise and earn $10,000.If two businesses are selling the same good or service, who would benefit if theycooperated on pricing? Who would benefit if they competed based on pricing?
- The Internet decreases the threat that new competitors will enter the market. Select one: O True O False IS PAGEGary's Gas and Frank's Fuel are the only two providers of gasoline in their town. Below is the demand schedule for the market of gasoline. Assume that the cost of producing gasoline is zero per gallon (AC-D0, FC-0). Suppose that the two producers collude (split production and profits evenly), what are the profits of each firm? Q demanded (in gallons) 4 6 7 8. 10 Market price (in dollar) $22 $20 $18 $16 $14 $12 $10 $8 $6 $0 $70 $72 O $36 O $76 $64 3. 2. 1,Using the information from the previous question, assume that Mytown engages in free trade in the dolls markets with Yourtown, who also faces a market with monopolistic competition. Because of this we can expect that, (a) The numbers of firms operating in this market will not change. (b) At equilibrium the profit of firms will increase. (c) The quantity of types of dolls available to consumers will increase. (d) All the above answers are correct. 2.
- Isolated Island has three natural gas wells. Three firms each own one. The table gives the demand schedule for gas on this island. The marginal cost of producing gas is $6 a unit. The table gives the demand schedule for gas on this island. Price (dollars per unit) Quantity demanded (units per day) 36 0 33 3 30 6 27 9 24 12 21 15 18 18 15 21 12 24 9 27 6 30 3 33 0 36 3 tries left If the three firms form a cartel and maximize their joint profit, what will be the price of gas, and what quantity will they produce? The price of gas will be $ Type a unit, and the quantity produced will be Type units a day.The market for fidgets has only three firms, (A, B, and C), that compete in quantities. The market shares of the firms are sA = 60%, sB = 30%, and sC = 10% respectively. The demand in the market is P = 1 − Q. The marginal cost of firm A is zero. (a) Calculate the HHI in this market (in the year of your data). (b) Suppose that firm B buys firm C. (i) What type of merger would this be? (ii) According to EU rules (on HHI level and change), would this merger be concerning? (iii) According to US rules (on HHI level and change), would this merger be concerning? (c) Call the merged firm BC. Suppose that, after the merger, A and BC compete a la Cournot again and the market shares of the firms are in equilibrium sA = 60% and sBC = 40%. What must be the marginal cost firm BC? Comment on your answerTwo street vendors (Vendor Y and Vendor Z) with mobile carts produce the same good which they sell at the same price. Customers are located along a linear boardwalk with six locations (Location A through Location F), with a different number of customers in each location, given by the number beneath each letter, as pictured below: A B C D E F 3 4 6 6 8 8 So, there are 3 customers in location A, 4 in B, 6 in C, 6 in D, 8 in E and 8 in F. The vendors simultaneously choose their location, and cannot move once their choice has been made. Customers will make a purchase from whichever vendor is closest to them, and equally close customers will be split evenly between Vendor Y and Vendor Z. The vendors CAN locate in the same location (so, both could locate in location A). How many customers will Vendor Y capture in equilibrium? (Assume that it is possible to capture half a customer, if necessary).
