1. This .situation .best .represents .producer-producer .rivalry. . Here, .Southwest .is .a
.producer .attempting .to .steal .customers .away .from .other .producers .in .the .form
.of .lower .prices.

2. The .maximum .you .would .be .willing .to .pay .for .this .asset .is .the .present .value, .which .is

a. Net .benefits .are .N(Q) .= .20 .+ .24Q .– .4Q2.
b. Net .benefits .when .Q .= .1 .are .N(1) .= .20 .+ .24 .– .4 .= .40 .and .when .Q .= .5 .they .are

they .are .MNB(5) .= .24 .– .8(5) .= .-16.
e. Setting .MNB(Q) .= .24 .– .8Q .= .0 .and .solving .for .Q, .we .see .that .net .benefits .are
maximized .when .Q .= .3.
f. When .net .benefits .are .maximized .at . Q .= .3, .marginal .net .benefits .are .zero. .That
.is,
MNB(3) .= .24 .– .8(3) .= .0.

a. Net .benefits .are .maximized .at .Q .= .107.
b. Marginal .cost .is .slightly .smaller .than .marginal .benefit .(MC .= .130 .and .MB .=
.140). .This .is .due .to .the .discrete .nature .of .the .control .variable.

a. The .net .present .value .of .attending .school .is .the .present .value .of .the .benefits
.derived .from .attending .school .(including .the .stream .of .higher .earnings .and .the
.value .to .you .of .the .work .environment .and .prestige .that .your .education
.provides), .minus .the .opportunity .cost .of .attending .school. .As .noted .in .the .text,
.the .opportunity .cost .of .attending .school .is .generally .greater .than .the .cost .of
.books .and .tuition. .It .is .rational .for .an .individual .to .enroll .in .graduate .school
.when .his .or .her .net .present .value .is .greater .than .zero.
b. Since .this .decreases .the .opportunity .cost .of .getting .an .M.B.A., .one .would
.expect .more .students .to .apply .for .admission .into .M.B.A. .Programs.
