You are the manager of a firm that competes against four other firms by bidding for government contracts. While you believe your

product is better than the competition, the government purchasing agent views the products as identical and purchases from the firm offering the best price. Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P and all five firms produce at a constant marginal cost of $50. For security reasons, the government has imposed restrictions that permit a maximum of five firms to compete in this market; thus entry by new firms is prohibited. A member of Congress is concerned because no restrictions have been placed on the price that the government pays for this product. In response, she has proposed legislation that would award each existing firm 20 percent of a contract for 100 units at a contracted price of $70 per unit. Would you support or oppose this legislation? Explain.

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P

marginal cost (Mc) = $50

contracted price (cp) = $70 per unit

Therefore;

Marginal Revenue ( MR ) = Marginal Cost ( MC)

Q = 800 -10P

800 - Q = 10P

Divide through by 10, where Q = 1

800/10 - 1/10 = P

80 - 0.1Q = P

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ

TR = 80 - 0.1Q

MR = MC

where MC = $50

80 - 0.1Q = 50

Collecting like terms

80 - 50 = 0.1Q

30 = 0.1 Q

Divide both side by 0.1

Q = 300

Price would be

P = 80 - 0.1Q

P = 80 - 0.1(300)

P = $50

MC = 40

Producing Q units

Total Cost (TC ) = 40 * ( 300 )

= $12,000

Total profit

= TR - TC

= ( P * Q ) - $12,000

= ( $50 * 300 ) - $12,000

= $15,000 - $12,000

= $3,000

Changes caused by regulations

Contracted price = $70

Quantity = 100Units

TT’ = ( P * Q ) - TC

= ( 70 * 100 ) - ( 50 * 100 )

= $7,000 - $5,000

= $2,000

TT - TT’ = $ ( 3000 - 2000 )

= $1,000

If legislation is passed all profit would reduce by $1,000

Why has America been referred to as " the land of opportunity"?
kozerog [31]

Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.

Grace [21]

Answer:

$27,500

Explanation:

Revenue from the sale of  Product C = $36 × 2500

                                                             = $90,000

Cost to produce Product C = $14 × 2500

                                             = $35,000

Revenue from the sale of Product M = $47 × 2500

                                                              = $117,500

Differential Total Net Revenue of producing Product M

= $117,500 - $90,000

= $27,500
