Assume that two firms (n=2) compete by choosing output levels. Firm 1 produces q1 units of output and firm 2 produces q2 units of output. Total output in the market is given by Q = q1 + q2. Market demand is given by the function P(Q) = 48 – 0.1Q, and the firms have constant marginal (and average) costs of $20 for firm 1 and $25 for firm 2. What is the Cournot profit-maximizing output level for firm 1?

The inverse demand for oranges is defined by P(q) = 282 – 9q, where q is the number of units sold. The inverse supply functions is defined by P(q) = 7 + 2q. A tax of $22 is imposed on suppliers for each of orange sold. What is the price received by suppliers (producers) after the tax is imposed?

Which of the following statements best characterizes second-degree price discrimination? Under second-degree price discrimination the monopolist _____________

The inverse demand function for cigarettes is given by P(q) = 186 – 6q where q is the quantity of packs of cigarettes that are sold. The inverse supply function is given by P(q) = 90 + 2q. In the past, cigarettes were not taxed, but now a tax of $32 per pack has been introduced. What is the total tax revenue collected by the government?

The inverse demand for oranges is defined by P(q) = 282 – 9q, where q is the number of units sold. The inverse supply functions is defined by P(q) = 7 + 2q. A tax of $22 is imposed on suppliers for each of orange sold. After the tax is imposed, the equilibrium quantity of oranges sold falls to

The inverse demand for oranges is defined by P(q) = 282 – 9q, where q is the number of units sold. The inverse supply functions is defined by P(q) = 7 + 2q. A tax of $22 is imposed on suppliers for each of orange sold. What is the price paid by consumers after the tax is imposed?

Suppose a firm has a monopoly over the sale of smartwatches in the U.S. The inverse demand for smartwatches in Florida is given by P1(q1) = 170 – 2q1, and the inverse demand in New York is given by P2(q2) = 280 – 5q2, where q1 and q2 are the total output of smartwatches sold in Florida and New York, respectively. The demand for smartwatches in each market is observable to the monopolist. The firm has a constant marginal cost of $50 and zero fixed costs. Assume that the firm can charge different prices in each market.  What is the profit-maximizing quantity sold to consumers in the New York market?
