Winston uses the high-low method. it had an average cost per unit of $10 at its lowest level of activity when sales equaled 10,000 units and an average cost per unit of $6.50 at its highest level of activity when sales equaled 20,000 units. what would winston estimate its total cost to be if sales equaled 8,000 units?

Assume the government imposes a $2.25 tax on suppliers, which results in a shift of the supply curve from s1 to s2. the price the seller receives for the product after paying the tax is

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers.firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
