(10 points) For each of the following production functions, find out whether it has increasing, decreasing or constant return to scale. a. f(L,K) = L1/SK2/5 b. (L,K) = 3L + K 2. (20 points) Assume that a firm in a monopolistic market sells a product with a total cost function TC=2000+0.503 and a marginal cost function MC=Q. The market demand curve is given by the equation P=200-0.5Q. a. Calculate the profit maximizing Q", P*, and the profit. Graph the demand, MR, MC, and ATC. Mark Q", P*, ATC* (you'll have to calculate the values). b. Calculate the deadweight loss that occurs in this market because it is a monopoly instead of perfect competition. 3. (10 points) Suppose both automobile and book markets are monopolized. An automobile market has the demand elasticity is -2 while a book market's demand elasticity is -0.5. For both markets, MC is fixed at $25. Which market has a higher mark-up? Explain (Lerner Index: (P-MC)/P = - 1/Ed). 4. (30 points) A competitive firm's total cost function is TC = 503 + 40, fixed sunk costs are $20, and MC = 10Q. There are 100 firms in the market, and the market demand is given as P = 60 - 0.5Q. a. Find an individual firm's supply function. b. Calculate the profit maximizing q*, P*, and the profit of an individual firm. 5. (20 points) Billy's income is equal to I=100 and his utility function is U = 1. There is a 10% chance that he will be in an accident next year with his skateboard that will cause $70 worth of damage. a. Risk premium = Expected Value - Guaranteed income. Get the risk premium for Billy. b. An insurance company offers a policy that will cover all the damages if an accident occurs. Calculate the fair price for the insurance (Fair price = Good outcome - Expected Value). 6. (10 points) Below are the willing prices for buyers and sellers in a used-car market. Assume that buyers believe that 30% of cars are Lemons and 70% are Plums. How much are they willing to pay? If a buyers suggest their willing price, which cars will be sold? Plum Lemon Buyer's Highest $2400 $1200 Willing Price Seller's Lowest Willing Price $2000 $1000
