Cournot Oligopoly and Number of Firms In a Cournot oligopoly, each firm assumes that its rivals do not change their output based on the output that it produces. Ilustration: A Cournot oligopoly has two firms, YandZ. Yobservesthe market demand curve and the number of units that Z produces. It assumes that Z does notchange its output regardless of the number of units that it (Y) produces, so chooses a production level that maximizes its profits. The general effects of a...

Question 7 5 pts Let's say that you know the following information for an oligopoly firm: Total Revenue equals $200 million. Variable Costs are $170 million. Fixed Costs equal $20 million. The firm is currently producing 2,000 products at the MC = MR point (and the MC curve is rising). What recommendation do you have for this firm? Assuming the firm's costs remain the same, the firm should produce fewer products in order to decrease its marginal costs. The profit...

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the Sweezy model of oligopoly? Competitors match price increases but do not match price decreases. The flatter portion of the demand curve corresponds to the quantity range where competitors match price changes. The firm faces more elastic demand when it lowers its price than when it raises its price. None of the statements listed is correct. The marginal revenue curve of the firm is horizontal. Question 22 1 pts Assume that the...

Draw the demand and marginal revenue curves. Draw a vertical line at the market price. To the left of the vertical line, show the demand and marginal revenue curves for the firm before the elasticity shifted. To the right, show the demand and marginal revenue curves for the more inelastic assumption. Where does the kink in the demand curve occur? What happens to the marginal revenue curve?

If the market demand and supply functions for pizza in Sahiwal wereQd = 10,000 – 1,000PQs = -2,000 + 1,000P(A) Determine the algebraically equilibrium price and quantity of Pizza and (B) Plot the market demand and supply curves and label equilibrium point E and draw demand curve faced by Pizza Hutt in Sahiwal on the assumption that the market is perfectly competitive.Show also the marginal revenue curve on the same figure.
