The Coffee Company Will Raise Drink Prices in October, Even as Other Chains Crowd the Market with Similar (and Cheaper) Products Starting on Cctober 3, the prices on lattes, cappuccinos, drip coffee, and other drinks will go up 5 cents at company-operated stores in North America. Starbucks is also jacking up the price of its coffee beans by roughly 50 cents per pound, or an average of 3.9 percent. The timing is certainly odd. For a while now, Starbucks has been struggling with labor disputes. Rivals McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, and Canadian restaurant chain Tim Horton's are steaming into its turf.... A Confident Company If Starbucks were really worried about any of these issues, the last thing its senior execs would consider is a price hike.

Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + q2 Marginal cost: MC = q where q is an individual firms quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand:QD = 120 P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market. a. What is each firms fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. b. Graph average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve for q from 5 to 15.

Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

Would you rather have efficiency or variety? That is, one opportunity cost of the variety of products we have is that each product costs more per unit than if there were only one kind of product of a given type, like shoes.
