In two companies making the same product and with the same total
sales and total expenses, the contribution margin ratio will be
higher in the company with a higher proportion of fixed expenses in
its cost structure.
If there are two companies making the same model of cellphones.
Assuming the demand for the cellphones produced by Company 1 is D1,
and the demand for the cellphones produced by Comp nay 2 is D2, are
described by the following two functions:
D1=200-P1-(P1-P)
D2=170-P2-(P2-P)
where P is the average price over the prices of the two companies,
i.e., P=[P1+P2]/2. Each company has the cost of C1=C2=10 for
producing one cellphone. Suppose each company can only choose one
of the...
Suppose there are two firms making the same product. The demand
curve for the product is Q = 500 - 5P. Suppose both firms have to
select how many items they make at the same time. Once they produce
they make the items, they take them to market and sell them for the
market clearing price. Assume both firms have the same cost
function C = 100 + 10q. What is the optimal output for each firm?
What is each...
