Case for Instructiecollege 3, Economics 1.2, Bedrijfskunde. From competition tomonopoly.
In this case we study the travel market. Several travel agencies offer their services to the
market. The weekly output of a travel agency is indicated by q and is measured in units of
10 travel kilometers. A travel agency has the following cost function that gives the
weekly costs as a function of the output level q:
1 2
C (q) q 5q 1000
10
The costs consist of a variable part and a fixed part. Within a year, the fixed costs cannot
be avoided. In the long run, the fixed costs can only be avoided by going out of business.
A. Indicate and graph the total costs, the variable costs, and the fixed costs.

characterizes the entry /exit decision.

They are all identical: they all face the same cost function given above. We
indicate the total market supply by Qs (again expressed in terms of units of 10
kilometers). Determine the market supply curve.
F. The other side of the market consists of the consumers who have a certain demand
for travelling. For the consumers the travel agencies are perfect substitutes: they
don’t care where they book their travel. The market demand curve (obtained by
