Happyland would set a price of $ 40 per ticket (price corresponding to the quantity where MR = MC1)
Kinked demand curve theory:
If one firm increases its price, other firms will not follow suit, but if one firm decreases its price, other firms will do likewise to retain their market share. Therefore, if Happyland decreases its price below $ 40 per ticket, its competitors will also decrease their prices.
D2 portion of the kinked demand curve is relatively less elastic than the D1 portion.
If Happyland's marginal cost = MC2
It would still charge the same price i.e. $ 40

Happyland is one of five amusement parks on Sunshine Island. The following graph shows Happyland's kinked demand curve (D1D2) and the resulting marginal revenue curve (MR1MR2). The graph also shows two possible marginal cost curves (MCI and MC2).
in Kinked Demand curve theory" , if a company increases its price, how do its competitors react to it? If a company cut its price, how do its competitors react to it? Can you explain the shape of Kinked Demand curve? Can you describe the shape of MR(marginal Revenue) curve under Kinked Demand curve? Would be greatly appreciated if it answered in 5sentences
Please answer me in detail. Thank you.
Question 9 Suppose that a monopolist faces a demand curve given by P 120-2Q. A monopolist producing only one product has two plants with the following marginal cost functions: MC1 20+2Q1 and MC2-10+502, where MCi and MC2 are the marginal costs in plants 1 and 2, and Q1 and Q2 are the levels of output in each plant, respectively. (a) Find the monopolist's optimal total output (quantity) and price. b) Find the optimal...

1. The following graph depicts the demand curve,
marginal revenue curve, and marginal cost curve that an oligopolist
faces. The firm is currently charging the cartel price, P*, and
producing the cartel quantity, Q*.
Suppose input prices fall and marginal cost decreases
from MC1 to MC2. Based on this event alone, the firm depicted in
the figure above will
