Consider a flower shop that uses sunflowers (s) and daisies (d) to produce bouquets. The cost for a sunflower is Ps and the cost for a daisy is Pd. The quantity of bouquets is q. The flower shop sees these flowers as perfect substitutes such that bouquets are produced as: F(s,d) = 4s+2d (e) If p, 1.5, what is the long run minimized cost? (2 points)
3. Consider a flower shop that uses sunflowers (s) and daisies (d) to produce bouquets. The cost for a sunflower is Ps and the cost for a daisy is pd. The quantity of bouquets is q. The flower shop sees these flowers as perfect substitutes such that bouquets are produced as: F(s,d) 4s+2d (a) Suppose the delivery of sunflowers is delayed and are stuck with a certain number of sunflowers. In particular, they have s 40 sunflowers. Setup the short...
1. Consider a flower shop that uses sunflowers (s) and daisies (d) to produce bouquets. The cost for a sunflower is p, and the cost for a daisy is pd. The quantity of bouquets is g. The flower shop sees these flowers as perfect substitutes such that bouquets are produced as: F(s.d) = 2s +50 (a) Suppose the delivery of sunflowers is delayed and are stuck with a certain number of sunflowers. In particular, they have 5 = 10 sunflowers....
Consider the cost function C(Q) = 400 + 0.5Q2 for RussCo to produce its new Phone. Using that cost function for the Phone, determine the profit-maximizing output, price and profit (or loss) for the RussCo Phone, and discuss its long-run implications, under three alternative scenarios: a. RussCo Phone is a perfect substitute with a similar product offered by Apple, Samsung and several other Phones that have similar cost functions and that currently sell for $400 each. b. RussCo Phone has...

1.Consider an industry with only two firms that produce identical products. Each of the firms only incurs a fixed cost of $1000 to produce and marginal cost is 20. The market demand function is as follows: Q=q1+q2=400-P a. Assuming that the firms form a cartel, calculate the profit-maximizing quantity of output, price and profits b. If the firms choose to behave as in the Cournot model, what would be the profit- maximizing quantities of output, price and profits? c. if...
Consider a market that faces the following market supply and demand functions Q^S = −2 + 2p Q^D = 16 − p where identical firms face the total cost function of T C = 8 + 3q + 1/2q^2 a) What is the market price? b) Derive the average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost functions. c) In the short run, how much does each firm produce? d) In the short run, how much economic profit or loss...
Consider a firm facing market demand qa p with a > 0; its cost of production c0 (a)(2pt] Find the optimal price p for this firm. In the questions below, consider only pure strategies Assume next for the questions that follow below that there are two firms, each with zero cost of production, who together face the market demand q 1 p. Firm l supplies the quantity q1 to the market. After observing this quantity, Firm 2 sets the price...
5. Assume a market demand curve of D(P) = 60−2P and a fringe supply curve of S(P) = P − 5. Assume a cost curve for the incumbent of C(Q) = 10 + 4Q. Find the market outcome in terms of price and quantity both for a monopolist not facing a fringe and a large dominant firm facing a fringe. Be sure to both solve for and graph the dominant firm’s demand and marginal revenue curves [in both the regions...
36) When a monopolist sells the same product at different prices and the prices are not related to cost differences, we have B) price differentiation. D) monopoly pricing A) price discrimination C) marginal cost pricing. 37) 37) Monopolies misallocate resources because A) price does not equal marginal cost B) profits are usually positive. C) marginal cost does not equal average total cost. D) price does not equal average total cost. 38) 38) Which of the following assumptions is true about...
