Productive and Allocative Efficiency Analysis

Productive efficiency, also referred to as production efficiency is a term in economics describing the level at which a company is operating at its maximum capacity. Beyond this point, the entity will be unable to manufacture any additional goods without cutting down another product’s production level. This occurrence is an outcome of production happening alongside a Production Possibility Frontier (PPF).

Suppose there are two types of cable TV viewers. The first type places a high value on sports channels (e.g., ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Golf Channel) and a low value on all other channels. The second type places a high value on music channels (e.g., VH1, MTV3, and CMT) and a low value on all other channels. In this case, we would expect cable operators to: use fixed-cost pricing. use "à la carte" pricing. sell sports and music channels in one bundle to both types of viewers. sell only sports channels to the first type of viewers and sell only music channels to the second type of viewers.
You are selling printed textbooks and codes for online resources. Your marginal cost is zero and your customers' willingness to pay is listed below: Printed textbook $70 $80 $20 $40 Code for online resources Bundle Samantha Tylan Mikayla Simran $20 $30 $50 $40 What is the profit-maximizing price for textbooks and codes under individual pricing (no bundling)? What is the profit-maximizing price of a bundle (textbook+code) under pure bundling (only bundles can be sold)? Is it true that publishers sell bundles, as opposed to individual products and services, to make consumers better off? Discuss.
MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?
How do perfectly competitive firms, monopolists, monopolistically competitive firms, and cartels choose the profit -maximizing quantity?

Exercise 5.3 Sticky Stuff produces cases of taffy in a monopolistically competitive market. The inverse demand curve for its product is P = 50 - Q, where Q is in thousands of cases per year and P is dollars per case. Sticky Stuff can produce each case of taffy at a constant marginal cost of $10 per case and has no fixed cost. Its total cost curve is therefore TC = 10Q. a) To maximize profit, how many cases of taffy should Sticky Stuff produce each month? b) What price will Sticky Stuff charge for a case of taffy? c) How much profit will Sticky Stuff earn each year? d) In reality, firms in monopolistic competition generally face fixed costs in the short run. Given the information above, what would Sticky Stuff's fixed costs have to be in order for this industry to be in long-run equilibrium? Explain.

Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.
