Answer:

Oligopoly.

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

1. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

2. Market control by many small firms.

3. Difficult entry to new firms.

According to the concentration ratio, when a small number of companies control more than 40 percent of a market, it is called an oligopoly.

Suppose gold (G) and silver (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also th

maksim [4K]

Answer:

a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020

b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980

Explanation:

a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:

$P_g = 930-60 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1740 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,380\\P_s = 1,020$

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.

b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:

$P_g = 930-120 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1620 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,300\\P_s = 980$

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.
