Chapter 1
The Fundamentals of Managerial Economics
Answers to Questions and Problems

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.

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
N(5) ,= ,20 ,+ ,24(5) ,– ,4(5)2 ,= ,40.
c. Marginal ,net ,benefits ,are ,MNB(Q) ,= ,24 ,– ,8Q.
d. Marginal ,net , benefits ,when , Q ,  ,1 , are ,MNB(1) ,= ,24 ,– ,8(1) ,= ,16 ,and ,when , Q
,  ,5
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.

110 2750 2100 650 110 160 -50


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.


7.
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.

, a. Her ,accounting ,profits ,are ,$170,000. ,These ,are ,computed ,as ,the

,under ,her ,next ,best ,alternative. ,This ,implicit ,cost ,of ,$110,000 ,is ,in ,addition ,to
,the
$30,000 ,in ,explicit ,costs. ,Since ,her ,economic ,costs ,are ,$140,000, ,her ,economic
,profits ,are ,$200,000 ,- ,$140,000 ,= ,$60,000.

e. Marginal ,cost ,when ,Q ,= ,2 ,is ,MC(Q) ,= ,4(2) ,= ,8. ,When ,Q ,= ,10 ,MC(Q) ,=

f. The ,level ,of ,Q ,that ,minimizes ,total ,cost ,is ,MC(Q) ,= ,4Q ,= ,0, ,or ,Q ,= ,0.
g. Net ,benefits ,are ,maximized ,when ,MNB(Q) ,= ,MB(Q) ,- ,MC(Q) ,= ,0, ,or ,20 ,–
,4Q ,– ,4Q ,= ,0. , Some ,algebra ,leads ,to ,Q ,= ,20/8 ,= ,2.5 ,as ,the ,level ,of ,output
,that ,maximizes ,net ,benefits.
