An investor is considering three strategies for a $1,000 investment. The probable returns are estimated as follows: Strategy 1: A profit of $10,000 with probability of 0.15 and a loss of $1,000 with probability 0.15 Strategy 2: A profit of $10,000 with probability of 0.50, a profit of $500 with probability 0.30, and a loss of $500 with probability 0.20 Strategy 3: A certain profit of $400 Determine which strategy has the highe
Monopoly a. Show that if the market inverse demand function is P(Q), the profit maximizing monopoly will charge a price equal to , where MC is the firm’s marginal cost of production and is the price elasticity of market demand. b. Calculate the deadweight loss to monopoly when the demand function is given by Q=100-P and C(Q)=4Q.
The production function of a firm is given as f(x)=20x-x2 The price of output is equal to 1. Let w be the price of the x-input. We must have x > 0. a) What is the first-order condition for profit maximization if x > 0? b) For what values of w will the optimal x be zero? c) For what values of w will the optimal x be 10? d) What is the factor demand function? e) What is the profit function? f) What is the derivative of the profit function with respect to w?
Evaluate and explain these two statements. 1. An increase in fixed cost increases the minimum-cost output. 2. An increase in fixed cost increases marginal cost.
Airbus makes 50 planes a year, which sell for $50 million each. If Airbus raises its price, Boeing will leave its prices unaltered, so Airbus loses market share. It faces an elastic demand curve. However, if Airbus cuts its price below $50 million, Boeing is forced to match the price cut, so quantity demanded increases only to the extent that additional plane orders are placed when planes are cheaper. Each company faces inelastic demand when it cuts the price. Draw the demand curve that Airbus thinks it faces.
