CHAPTER 9 OLIGOPOLY AND FIRM ARCHITECTURE 1. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 370 – P The firm’s marginal cost function is given below: MC = 10 + 4Q Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Solution: P = 370 – Q so TR = 370Q – Q2 and MR = 370 – 2Q MR = 370 – 2Q = 10 + 4Q = MC so Q = 60 and P = 310 2. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 135 – 0.5P The firm’s marginal cost function is given

the study of macroeconomics‚ takes a broader approach such as the nations’ economy or the GDP. Nevertheless‚ both micro- and macroeconomics provide fundamental tools when studying the economy. This paper will discuss the examples of the supply and demand curves as they were presented in the simulation. In addition‚ factors affecting these curves such as changes in population‚ government‚ employment‚ and trend all take part in shifting these curves causing pricing or rental rates to increase and decrease

A classic novel is one which relates to and questions aspects central to our lives‚ and can be related to for generations to come. To Kill a Mockingbird‚ by Harper Lee‚ is one of the most common examples of this‚ as it conveys one of the most important ideas of our era‚ racism. The racial prejudice present at the time the novel was based‚ all of which can still be seen in many places today over 50 years on‚ is mostly what makes this a classic novel. Lee uses the themes of racial prejudice‚ the Mockingbird

DETERMINANT OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY Determinants of Demand Demand curve shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The determinants of demand are income‚ price of other goods‚ tastes and preferences‚ expectations about future prices and incomes‚ taxes and subsidies. a) Income Income is a key determinant of demand. If the income level for a society rise‚ the demand for goods sure will increase. For example‚ when individuals’ income rises‚ they can afford to buy more goods (either

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is a measure of how much the quantity demanded changes when there is a change in the price of the product. It can be calculated using the formula: PED= Percentage change in Qd of the product/ Percentage change in price of the product. When determining the price elasticity of demand‚ there are many possible outcomes which range from zero to infinity. If the PED value is between zero and one‚ then elasticity is said to be “Inelastic”‚ meaning there would be less

Deriving Demand Functions - Examples1 What follows are some examples of different preference relations and their respective demand functions. In all the following examples‚ assume we have two goods x1 and x2 ‚ with respective prices p1 and p2 ‚ and income m. 1 Perfect Substitutes For perfect substitutes‚ we have to look at respective prices. After all‚ if goods are perfect substitutes‚ then the consumer is indifferent between them‚ and will have no problem adjusting consumption to get

Demand can be defined as the quantity of particular good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various price levels at a given point in time. Market demand for a product can be illustrated on a demand curve. Other factors such as a change in the level of income and a movement along a demand curve. Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness or sensitivity of the quality demanded of a particular product to change in its price. There are a number of factors that affect

Price Elasticity Of Demand is a measure of the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in its price. Price elasticity of demand is a term in economics often used when discussing price sensitivity. The formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is: “Price Elasticity of Demand = % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price”. If a small change in price is accompanied by a large change in quantity demanded‚ the product is said to be elastic
