Suppose Demand and Supply for a competitive industry in the short run can be described the following equations: QD=100 – 2P, and QS=40+2P. Suppose further that the total cost curve for a representative firm in the industry is given by TC = 100+4q+q2, with MC=4+2q. a.

...Principles of Microeconomics: At a Glance Description of the Examination The Principles of Microeconomics examination covers material that is usually taught in a one-semester undergraduate course in introductory microeconomics. This aspect of economics deals with the principles of economics that apply to the analysis of the behavior of individual consumers and businesses in the economy. Questions on this exam require test-takers to apply analytical techniques to hypothetical as well as real-world situations and to analyze and evaluate economic decisions. Test-takers are expected to demonstrate an understanding of how free markets work and allocate resources efficiently. They should understand how individual consumers make economic decisions to maximize utility, and how individual firms make decisions to maximize profits. Test-takers must be able to identify the characteristics of the different market structures and analyze the behavior of firms in terms of price and output decisions. They should also be able to evaluate the outcome in each market structure with respect to economic efficiency, identify cases in which private markets fail to allocate resources efficiently, and explain how government intervention fixes or fails to fix the resource allocation problem. It is also important to understand the determination of wages and other input prices in factor markets, and to analyze and evaluate the distribution of income. The examination contains approximately 80 questions...

...ECON 6110 MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS Take-Home Exam November 28, 2012 Question 1: In order for Amazon to maximize its profit, the Marginal Revenue needs to equal the Marginal Cost. * MR=MC P MC AC P1 MR D Q1 Q On the above graph we can see that Amazon maximizes its profit at P1 and Q1. Now lets find the values of Q1 and P1. Given information: MC=$7.25; Q=14.5-P; predicted orders =50 million; ATC=$5.50 (a) Is Amazon currently maximizing its profit? If Q=14.5-P => P=14.5-Q TR=P*Q => TR= (14.5-Q)*Q and MR=dTR/dQ=14.5-2Q If we take the second derivative d2TR/dQ2=-2. The negative number shows us that the company is currently maximizing profit. Since MC is given in order to find the maximizing quantity we can say that 14.5-2Q=7.25=>14.5-7.25=2Q=>7.25=2Q=>Q=3.625 (b) What will Amazon’s projected profit be for this season? P=14.5-Q => P=14.5-3.625=>P=$10.875 TR=P*Q=> TR=$10.875*3.625=$39.422 million TC=ATC*Q=>TC=$5.50*3.625=$19.94 million Therefore Amazon’s profit for this season will be as follows: Π=TR-TC=> Π=$39.422 - $19.94 => Π=$19.94 million (c) Consultant recommendation: Since the company is already maximizing profit, an increase in production and sales would not increase the profit, therefore producing more would not be recommended. The best scenario in this case would be price discrimination. In this way they would be able...
