Chapter 12- 1) Calculate the profit maximizing price for the following scenarios: a) MC : $35 E: - 3.45 b) MC: $2.50 E: -1.05 c) MC: $350 E: - 35.50 2) The market elasticity of a product is determined to be -.50. The following firms compete in this area: Bob, Inc - 22% market share Bill, Inc. - 18% market share Jim, Inc. - 20% market share Calculate the individual firm elasticity for each. 3) Using the data from 2) assume that all 3 firms face a $10 MC calculate the profit maximization price. 4) Bill, Inc. has adopted lean management practices and reduced their marginal cost to $9.00. What are the implications to the price they can charge and for the firm?

Answer 1

1. When there is shortage in supply of a good , keeping demand unchanged,it creates a upward pressure on prices and lower quanity of good.

2.When there is shortage in demand of a good , keeping supply unchanged, it leads to lower prices and lower quantity of a good.
