Answer 18: 11
P = 8+2z
it is given price is 10 for type 1 consumer
therefore Z = 1 unit
For type 2 consumer price will be 10 +4z = 10+4 = 14
Profit is equal to price - cost
14- 3 (price of z is given to be 3 per unit) = 11
Answer 19: c) 18
Price to be taken from type 1 consumer = 10 and from type 2 consumer 14
total revenue = 10+14 = 24
Total cost = 6 (3*2 = 6)
Profit = 24-6 =18

Use the following information in answering questions 14 - 19. Assume persons of type 1 value quality level z and the product itself such that the reservation price for one unit is 8 + 2z. Similarly, for a person of type 2 the reservation price is 10 + 4z. The cost of producing the product is 2 and the cost of each unit of z is 3. Assume that z can be either equal to 1 or 2. This same...
Use the following information in answering questions 1 - 9. Assume persons of type 1 value quality level z and the product itself such that the inverse demand for the product is given by P, = 10 - Q. + 2z. Similarly, for a person of type 2 the inverse demand for the product is given by P2 = 24 - 2Q2 + 6z. The AC and MC of producing the product with quality z is MC = AC= 2...
Use the following information in answering questions 9- 13. Assume persons of type 1 value quality level z and the product itself such that the reservation price for one unit is 5+3z. Similarly, for a person of type 2 the reservation price is 10 + z. The cost of producing the product is 2 and the cost of each unit of z is 2. Assume that z can be equal to 0 or 1 or 2 9. The optimal quality...

Consider the following relationship between firm A and firm B. Firm A wishes to buy an input I from B. Firm A wants an input that is specialised to its production processes; a specialised input I costs B $10 to make. Alternatively, B can deliver a low-quality product that costs $0 to produce, but is of no benefit to A. The timing is as follows: if A decides to trade, A agrees to pay firm B a price of p...
