A profit seeking monopolist has three choice variables: output level q, marketing intensity m, and newequipment e. The cost of producing q units of output is cqe, where c > 0 is a constant. Equipment ispurchased in a competitive market at the price r. The cost of marketing intensity level m is h(m, ?), where? is parameter and h is increasing in both of its arguments. The maximum price at which q units of outputcan be sold with marketing intensity m is P(q, m), where Pq 0. (Subscripts denote partialderivatives.) a. Assume here and below that hm? > 0. Interpret this condition and give a possible economic interpretationfor the parameter ?. b. Under what condition on P does higher marketing intensity increase marginal revenue? From now on,assume that this condition holds. c. Suppose that in the short run, the amount of new equipment, e > 0 is fixed. How do the firm's shortrun choices of output level and marketing vary depending on the parameter ?? depending on e? Be asspecific as possible and interpret your conclusions. d. In the long run, the firm is free to choose any nonnegative levels of q, m and e. How does the firm'slong run choice of e vary depending on ?? Interpret your conclusion. e. Compare the short and long run responses of q to a change in ?. Interpret the comparison. f. Show how the firm's long run profit changes in response to changes in r. Does the answer depend on ??If so, in what way. Interpret the results. This answer requires very little computation (why?).

General Electric paid its line workers $10 per hour last year when the Consumer Price Index was 100. Suppose over the past year that deflation occurred and the aggregate price level fell to 80.

What happens to the supply curve for beef if producers expect the price of beef to fall in the future? What happens to the supply curve for Televisions if new technology makes TVs cheaper to produce?

Suppose the money demand in an economy in which no interest is paid on money is Md/P=500+0.2Y-100i P=100,Y=1000 and i=0.10 find real money demand

The market for nutmeg is controlled by two small island nations, Penang and Grenada. The market demand for bottled nutmeg is given by P = 100 ? qP ? qG, where qP is the quantity Penang produces and qG is the quantity Grenada produces. Both Grenada and Penang produce nutmeg at a constant marginal and average cost of $20 per bottle. Suppose that Grenada transforms the nature of competition to Stackelberg competition by announcing its production targets publicly in an attempt to seize a first-mover advantage. How much output should Grenada announce it will produce as the Stackelberg leader? 45 40 35 30

Suppose the Reserve Bank sells $50 million of government securities to Bank A. Explain and show the effect of this action on the balance sheets of the Reserve Bank and Bank A.

The short-run aggregate supply curve (AS) is upward sloping because: an increase in the aggregate price level will cause an increase in the interest rate and a reduction in output. a reduction in the aggregate price level causes a reduction in nominal money demand and a reduction in the interest rate. an increase in the nominal wage causes a reduction in the amount of output that firms are willing to produce. an increase in output causes an increase in employment, a reduction in unemployment, an increase in the nominal wage and an increase in the price level. When the price level is equal to the expected price level, we know from our theory that: everyone who wants a job is working. the goods market is in equilibrium. the unemployment rate is equal to the natural rate of unemployment. both the price level and the expected price level are equal to one. financial markets are in equilibrium. The natural level of employment will increase when which of the following occurs? an increase in the markup of prices over costs an increase in unemployment benefits an increase in the actual unemployment rate all of the above none of the above
