Consider a competitive market served by many domestic and foreign firms. The domestic demand for these firms’ product is Qd = 1200 - 2P. The supply function of the domestic firms is QSD = 200 + 1P, while that of the foreign firms is QSF = 250. Instructions: Enter your responses for equilibrium price rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). Enter your responses for equilibrium quantity rounded to one decimal place.

a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity under free trade. Equilibrium price: $ Equilibrium quantity: units

b. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity when foreign firms are constrained by a 100-unit quota. Equilibrium price: $ Equilibrium quantity: units

c. Are domestic consumers better or worse off as a result of the quota? Better off Worse off Neither better nor worse off

d. Are domestic producers better or worse off as a result of the quota? Neither better nor worse off Worse off Better off

Consider a market served by two firms: firm A and firm B. Demand for the good is given (in inverse form) by P(Q)=250−Q, where Q is total quantity in the market (and is the sum of firm A's output, qA, and firm B's output, qB) and P is the price of the good. Each firm has a cost function of c(q)=10.00q, which implies marginal cost of $10.00 for each firm, and the goods sold by firms A and B are...

#11.1 A competitive market system discourages growth unless government protects domestic firms from foreign competition. encourages growth by allowing producers to make profitable investment decisions based on market signals. discourages growth because firms busy competing have no time to innovate or invest. encourages growth by ensuring that everyone in society will receive a decent standard of living. #10.1 Other things equal, if a full-employment economy reallocated a substantial quantity of its resources to capital goods, we would expect labor productivity...

1 Consider two Cournot competitive firms – with the following market demand function P=100-Q. The firms face constant marginal costs, MC1 = 5 whereas MC2 = 25. However, if they merge then the marginal production costs would fall to 5. Calculate the costs and benefits due to the merger for either firm.    Is this merger Pareto improving for the economy? Explain.    A Bertrand competition does not necessarily gravitate towards competitive prices in the equilibrium, with imperfect substitutes. In...
