Microeconomics Homework Problem 1: C(Q) = 100 + 20Q + 15Q^2 + 10Q^3 a) Fixed Cost (doesn’t change depending on output produced) = 100 b) Variable Cost of producing Q = 10 units: 20*10 + 15*10^2 + 10*10^3 = 200 + 1‚500 + 10‚000 = 11‚700 c) Total Cost of producing Q = 10 units: C(10) = 100 + 20*10 + 15*10^2 + 10*10^3 = 11‚800 Alternatively‚ we have Total Costs of Producing Q=10 units = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs of producing Q = 10 units = 100 + 11‚700 = 11‚800 d)

Lions did relocate‚ and cut average ticket prices to the Cournot competitive levels. The Pistons’ demand function is given by: QP = 200 - 6PP + 2PL‚ while that of the Lions is given by: QL = 150 + 2PP - 5PL‚ where Q is thousands of patrons per week‚ and P is the average ticket price. a) Draw up a payoff matrix determining the revenue that the two teams made at their original locations‚ and when one or both were to relocate and charge the Cournot competitive price. b) What price would maximize the
