Suppose there are 10 apples and 10 oranges in the economy. Joe is currently consuming 4 apples and 5 oranges, and Jane is consuming 6 apples and 5 oranges. At this allocation, Joe's marginal utility of apples is 3, and his marginal utility of oranges is 5. Jane's marginal utility of apples is 6, and her marginal utility of oranges is 10. The current price of apples is R4 per unit and the current price of oranges is R5 per unit. To reach a competitive equilibrium, the required price adjustment is: A. No change in the relative prices. B. A decrease in the apple price relative to the orange price. C. An increase in both prices. D. A decrease in the orange price relative to the apple price.

Consider a monopoly where consumers are currently consuming where the marginal utility is 10 units of utility for the good. The price of the product is $5. The marginal cost of producing the good is $2.00. Then consider perfectly competitive firms where consumers are currently consuming where the marginal utility is 20 units of utility for the perfectly competitive product. The price of the product is $10. At current production levels, the marginal cost of producing the good is $10.Question 10.19HomeworkUnansweredDue Apr 12th, 11:59 PMBased on the text above, calculate the marginal utility per dollar spent by consumers in a monopolistic industry.

A consumer faces the following situation. Her marginal utility of a luxury good with a price of $100 is 100 utils. An alternative good has a marginal utility of 75 utils and a price of $50. What should she do if she wishes to increase her total utility?Selected answer will be automatically saved.

Consider an industry with two products A and B. There are 100 consumers who value product A at vA=160 and product B at vB=290. The incumbent firm 1 produces both goods. Its marginal cost of production for good A is cA=90 and cB1=120 for good B. Suppose the incumbent firm 1 offers the two products as a bundle at a price p1. There is also a potential new entrant, firm 2, who only produces good B at a marginal cost of cB2>0. This firm has to pay K=20 to enter the market. If it enters, it set a price p2 for good B and competes with the incumbent in prices for the consumers. Consider a game where the entrant decides whether to enter or not. Then if entry occurs, firms compete; otherwise firm 1 remains a monopolist. Which of the following statements is correct? [There may be more than one correct statement.] Suppose firm 2 has entered the market. If cB2=70, consumers buy from the incumbent at an equilibrium price of 220. Suppose firm 2 has entered the market. If cB2=30, consumer buy from the entrant at an equilibrium price of 50. The entrant makes a profit of 24,000. Suppose firm 2 has not entered the market.Monopoly profits of firm 1 are 45,000. Suppose firm 2 has not entered the market. Monopoly profits of firm 1 are 24,000. If cB2<50, then entry always occurs. If cB2=20 and K=2,000, then entry occurs. If cB2=40 and K=500, then entry occurs. If K=4000 and cB2<10, then entry occurs. If there is no cost of entry for the entrant (K=0), the incumbent remains a monopolist if cB2=60. If there is no cost of entry for the entrant (K=0), the incumbent remains a monopolist if cB2=40.

If goods P and Q are jointly demanded, an increase in the price of p will likely*1 pointA. leave the demand for Q constant but reduce the quantity demanded of P.B. reduce the quantity demanded of P but increase the price of Q.C. increase the quantity supplied of QD. decrease the quantity demanded of Q

Assume that the market for lemonade is perfectly competitive and currently in equilibrium. Lemons are key ingredients in lemonade. If the price of lemons decreases, how will the lemonade market be affected? aSupply will shift leftward, increasing the equilibrium price and decreasing the equilibrium quantity of lemonade. bSupply will shift rightward, increasing the equilibrium price and increasing the equilibrium quantity of lemonade. cDemand will shift leftward, decreasing the equilibrium price and decreasing the equilibrium quantity of lemonade. dSupply will shift rightward, decreasing the equilibrium price and increasing the equilibrium quantity of lemonade. eDemand will shift rightward, increasing the equilibrium price and increasing the equilibrium quantity of lemonade.
