5) (30 pts) The Sunshine Food Processing Company produces three canned fruit products: mixed fruit (21), fruit cocktail (x2), and fruit delight (x3). The main ingredients in each product are pears and peaches. Each product is produced in lots and must go through two processes: mixing and canning. The resource requirements for each product and each process are given in the following LP formulation: max z = 4.61 + 10.22 +853 (profit) s.t. 5.0 + 4.02 + 4.63 < 200...

In a market, demand is given by P = 100 − Q and the (private) marginal cost of production for the aggregation of all firms (the industry supply curve) is given by MC = Q. Pollution by the industry creates external damages given by the (constant) marginal external cost curve MEC = 30. (a) Calculate the output and price of if the industry operates under competitive conditions without regulation. (b) Calculate the socially efficient price and output of the industry...

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...

2. (15 points). The demand function for an oligopolistic market is given by the equation, Q 180-4P, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price. The industry has one dominant firm whose marginal cost function is: MC 12+1Qp, and many small firms, with a total supply function: Qs 20+ P. (a) Derive the demand equation for the dominant oligopoly firm. (b) Determine the dominant oligopoly firm's profit-maximizing out- put and price. (c) Determine the total output of the small...

You are an industry analyst that specializes in an industry where the market inverse demand is P = 300 - 5Q. The external marginal cost of producing the product is MCExternal = 8Q, and the internal cost is MCInternal = 14Q. a. What is the socially efficient level of output? ______ units b. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would a competitive industry produce? ______ units c. Given these costs and market demand, how much output would...

2. SHOW YOUR WORK The demand curve is given as P = 15 - 0.15Q. Calculate Q, when the price is $9/unit. (5 points) Calculate the own-price elasticity of demand then the price is $9. You will need to have Q = f(P) in order to have the ΔQ/ΔP. (10 points) Explain why the price should be raised or dropped in order to increase total revenue. (5points) 3. There are a number of different demand elasticities that each tell a...

4. In a market for dry cleaning, the inverse market demand function is given by P=160-10 and the (private) marginal cost of production for the aggregation of all dry dleaning firms is given by MC- 10+1Q. Finally, the pollution generated by the dry cleaning process creates external damages given by the marginal external cost curve MEC 1Q Calculate the output and price of dry cleaning if it is produced under competitive cond tions without regulation. The competitive equilbrium quanity is...

4. Exercise 16.6 The industry demand function for bulk plastics is represented by the following equation: P=800−20Q where Q represents millions of pounds of plastic. The total cost function for the industry, exclusive of a required return on invested capital, is TC=300+500Q+10Q2 If this industry acts like a monopolist in the determination of price and output, the profit-maximizing level of price and output will be(------) $ and (------) million respectively. The total profit at this price-output level is ($-------) million....

3) Suppose that there are only two firms in the industry for printers, HP and Xerox, making the industry a Cournot duopoly. The demand for printers is given by the equation, P = 300-4Q1-402, where P is the market price, Q1 is the quantity demanded from HP, and Q2 is the quantity demanded from Xerox. The marginal cost for each firm is constant at $60. a) Derive the equation for HP's revenue....
