Market demand is given by 2Q = 100 - P or Q = 50 -0.5P.
Supply curve of fringe is Q = 0.5P
Hence residual demand is RD(P) = 50 - 0.5P - 0.5P or Q = 50 - P
Residual demand in inverse form is P = 50 - Q
Marginal revenue from this residual demand is MR = 50 - 2Q (it has same intercept but twice the slope)

2. Consider a dominant firm in a market with a competitive fringe. The market demand curve is given by P = 100 − Q.The supply curve of the competitive fringe is perfectly elastic and given by P=Pf. The dominant firm has a marginal cost c where Pf > c (a) For what value of Pf is the presence of the competitive fringe binding on the dominant firm? (b) Suppose the dominant firm has c = 0 and the competitive fringe...
Consider a market with demand curve ?=200−? and suppose that the industry consists of a dominant firm which has a constant marginal cost equal to $40 per unit. There are ten other fringe producers; each has a marginal cost curve ??=40+10?, where q is the output of a typical fringe producer. Assume there are no fixed costs for any producer. a. What is the supply curve of the competitive fringe? b. What is the dominant firm’s residual demand curve? c....
The market demand curve is given by Q = 200-2p. There is one dominant firm, which sets the market price and has a constant marginal cost of 5, and a competitive fringe of 10 price-taking firms, each of which has a marginal cost function MC (Q) = 10 +Q. Derive the equation of the dominant firm’s residual demand curve. What price will the dominant firm set to maximize its profits? At this price, how much does the competitive fringe produce?
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...
In a monopolistic competitive market for blood pressure monitor, suppose the market demand function for the monitor is P=160 – 3Q, where P is the price for monitor, Q and the quantity of monitor demanded. Marginal cost of producing it is MC: P = 20 + Q, where P is the price of the monitor and Q is the quantity of the monitor sold. Use the Twice as Steep Rule, form the marginal revenue function. What are the price and...
Name: Consider the market for a good where the demand curve facing a firm who has considerable market power is given by P = 80 -0.05Q, the marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 80 -0.1Q, and the firm's marginal cost curve is given by MC = 17 + 0.020. a. If the firm behaves like a competitive firm, find equilibrium price and quantity. Graphically identify and calculate consumer and producer surplus. b. If the firm behaves like a...
11. Problems and Applications Q11Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs:Total Cost: TC = 50 + Marginal Cost: MC = qThe market demand curve for this product is:Demand where P is the Price and Q is the total quantity of the good..What is each firm's variable cost?0.5q50+0.5qqWhich of the following represents the equation for each firm's average total cost?50q50+0.5q0.5qComplete the following table by computing the marginal cost and average total cost for qq from 5...
At&t is the dominant firm in the local telecommunication industry, which has a total market demand given by Q = 100 - 2P. AT&T has competition from a fringe of four small firms that produce where their individual marginal costs equal the market price. The fringe firms each have total costs given by TCi = 10 Qi + Qi^2. If AT&T's total costs are given by TCa = 10 + 10 Qa, how much does the industry as a whole...
The demand function for an oligopolistic market is given by the equation, Q = 275 – 4P, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price (Note: inverse demand for the dominant firm here is P = 50 - .2Q). The industry has one dominant firm whose marginal cost function is: MC = 12 + 0.7QD, and many small firms, with a total supply function: QS = 25 + P. In equilibrium, the total output of all small firms is
1. Dominant firm with competitive fringe Consider a monopolist with costs MCs 2+0.1qa and ATC-2+0.059a facing a market demand is P-28-0.1Q. At the price set by the dominant firm, what will be the output supplied by the fringe firms, combined and individually? Calculate. e. Calculate profits earned by the dominant and fringe firms. Comment on what you observe. Who earns more? How does the presence of competitive fringe affect the profit of the leading firm? f. Suppose that the dominant...
