North Lake currently has one In‐n-­Out franchise. Daily demand for hamburgers in North Lake is given by Q=200-­10P. All In-­n-­Out franchises have costs of TC=50+3Q for producing Q hamburgers.Suppose a second In‐n-­Out opens, and the two stores compete by choosing output sequentially, with the current owner choosing first (Stackleberg). How will the equilibrium price for hamburgers change if the new franchise were to open.

Solutions

Expert Solution

* In Stackelberg model firms move sequentially. In this model one firm will set output first and other firms will follow after observing the output of leader. In this model leader recognizes that it can influence followers action because followers reaction curve is known to leader. Therefore reaction curve of follower will be substituted into profit function of model before maximizing it.

Consider again Worked-Out Problem 14.2. The daily demand for pizza is          Qd=32,900−600P,Qd=32,900−600P,where P is the price of a pizza. The daily costs for a pizza company include $845 in avoidable fixed costs and variable costs equal to          VC=5Q+Q2/80,VC=5Q+Q2/80,where Q is the number of pizzas produced each day. Marginal cost when producing Q pizzas is          MC=5+Q/40.MC=5+Q/40.Recall that the price is $11.50, and the total quantity demanded is 26,000 pizzas per day. In a long-run equilibrium, each active firm produces 260 pizzas...

Fort Collins daily demand for gasoline in gallons is given by the equation Q = 200,000 – 10,000P or equivalently P = 20 – Q/10,000. The marginal private cost of producing a gallon of gasoline is $2. Meanwhile, the marginal external cost of consuming a gallon of gasoline is also $2, because combusting gasoline increases traffic congestion, wears down public roads, and contributes to climate change. a. Draw a figure of Fort Collins’ consumers daily demand for gasoline, the marginal...
