CHAPTER 9 OLIGOPOLY AND FIRM ARCHITECTURE 1. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 370 – P The firm’s marginal cost function is given below: MC = 10 + 4Q Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Solution: P = 370 – Q so TR = 370Q – Q2 and MR = 370 – 2Q MR = 370 – 2Q = 10 + 4Q = MC so Q = 60 and P = 310 2. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 135 – 0.5P The firm’s marginal cost function is given

Supply and Demand The consumer market is driven by the Laws of Supply and Demand. Excess supply typically results in lower prices. Excess demand leads to higher prices. One example of elastic commodities is the purchase of a vacation to a theme park. Although the vacation is a viable luxury‚ there are numerous factors that can affect the cost. The comparable price of close substitutes as well as the supplemental costs of complements to the vacation must be taken into consideration. Various

Market definition plays a key role in competition analysis and has often proved controversial. However‚ it is merely a means to an end‚ the real issue being to establish whether or not firms have significant market power‚ i.e. the power to increase prices.
