A confectioner (a candy maker) and a dentist run their business in two separate but adjacent houses. The confectioner operates two loud machines in his house. The noise from the machines had gone unnoticed for years until the neighboring dentist decided to move his office to the room closest to where the confectioner operated his machines. The noise from the machines makes the dentist’s work impossible. The dentist sues the confectioner in court.
Suppose now that confectioner has three ways of dealing with the
problem
of his noisy machines interfering with the dentist’s business: 1)
to sound-proof the wall
between the houses at a cost of $20K; 2) to switch to quieter, but
more expensive,
machines, at a cost of $30K; or, 3) to relocate at a cost of
$100K.
The dentist, on the other hand, has two ways of dealing with the
noise problem: 1) to
sound-proof his entire office for $25K; or, 2) to remodel his house
again and move his
office back to the previous side of the house and away from the
noise at a cost of $40K.
Suppose that in this scenario a merger is not possible, and that
the transaction costs are
zero.
c. If the court rules in favor of the dentist, then what would be
the resulting
outcome? Explain.
d. Assuming away subjective considerations of justice, morality,
etc., did the court
make the economically efficient ruling here? Why or why not? (You
must relate
your answer here to part (c) above).
e. Briefly, state the outcome if the court rules in favor of the
confectioner instead?

List and explain the factors that influence price elasticity of demand. What will make demand more or less elastic?
Explain the relationship between price elasticity and total revenue.
Define and explain how marginal, total and average values are related in general and specifically for utility, product, cost, revenue and profit.
Explain why diminishing marginal utility is related to the Law of Demand.
Explain the difference between economic and accounting profit.
Explain why increasing MC is related to the Law of Supply.
Explain how differences in market structure (perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly) affects how a firm perceives the demand curve and marginal revenue, and thus profit maximizing output and overall efficiency (price relative to marginal cost).
Explain how barriers to entry and long term price and profitability (P-AC) are related, and how that might impact antitrust and regulatory policy.

A confectioner (a candy maker) and a dentist run their business
in two separate but adjacent
houses. The confectioner operates two loud machines in his house.
The noise from the machines
had gone unnoticed for years until the neighboring dentist decided
to move his office to the
room closest to where the confectioner operated his machines. The
noise from the machines
makes the dentist’s work impossible. The dentist sues the
confectioner in court.
Now, consider the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Suppose that the value of the dentist’s clinic is worth
$130K,
whereas the value the confectioner’s candy business is worth
$70K.
Scenario 2: Suppose that the value of the dentist’s clinic is worth
$150K,
whereas the value the confectioner’s candy business is worth
$180K.
Consider each of the scenarios above when answering the following
questions. Assuming
that it is possible for either business to buy the other (i.e. to
merge) or to buy the
nuisance rights after the court decision (i.e. the right to emit
sound or to demand quiet),
what would be the outcome if…
a. …the court rules in favor of the confectioner, and transaction
costs amount to
25K.
b. …the court rules in favor of the dentist, and transaction costs
amount to $60K.
