An industry consists a firm which has sells its product for $30 and has a marginal cost of $18. Calculate the Lerner index for this firm? What it its mark up factor? Select one: A. Lerner Index = 0.6 and Mark up = 2.5 B. Lerner Index = 0.4 and Mark up = 1.67 C. none of the answers are correct D. Lerner Index = 0.4 and Mark up = 1.67 E. Lerner Index = 1.67 and Mark up =...
Suppose that a monopolist faces a constant marginal cost of 6 and a constant (firm) elasticity of demand of -2. Using the Lerner Index, what is the monopoly price and what is the mark-up (difference between price and marginal cost)?
5. (15 points) A firm with market power sells its product for $9/unit, and its marginal cost is MC per unit. (7 pts)(a) What is this firm's Lerner Index? $6 (8 pts)(b) Beginning with the way we write marginal revenue in terms of market price, show mathematically how we can obtain the formula for the Lerner Index. Explain what range of values the LI can take, and which value indicates more market power

If a monopoly charges $2.00 and its marginal cost of producing the good is $1.50, what explanation can be given about the elasticity of demand for the product? If a monopoly in another firm charges $2.00 and the marginal cost of producing the good is $1.00, what explanation can be given about the elasticity of demand for the product? What conclusion can be given about the mark-up of price over marginal cost and the elasticity of demand for the product?
Consider the problem facing two firms in the fast-food restaurant market, Firm A and Firm B. Each company has just come up with an idea for a new fast-food menu item, which it would sell for $6. Assume that the marginal cost for each new menu item is a constant $2 and the only fixed cost is for advertising. Each company knows that if it spends $12 million on advertising, it will get 2 million consumers to try its new...
A representative firm in a perfectly competitive, constant cost industry has a cost function T C = 100+4Q 2+ 100Q. (a) What are this firm fixed cost, variable cost and marginal cost? (b) What is the long-run equilibrium price for this industry? (c) If the market demand is Q = 1000 − P , how many firms will operate in this long-run equilibrium? (d) What is the most that this firm would be willing to pay for the exclusive right...
A bank offers your firm a revolving credit arrangement for up to $66 million at an interest rate of 1.65 percent per quarter. The bank also requires you to maintain a compensating balance of 2 percent against the unused portion of the credit line, to be deposited in a non-interest-bearing account. Assume you have a short-term investment account at the bank that pays 1.00 percent per quarter, and assume that the bank uses compound interest on its revolving credit loans....
