assume a market consists of two upstream firms, and they are the sole suppliers of their respective products. Each of these monopolists sell at a linear price to one downstream duopolist each. What would be the effect of vertical integration on the final good price.
It is hot a day and Bert is thirsty ,here is the value he places on a bottle of water
Value of first 7$
Value of second bottle 5$
Value of third bottle 3$
Value of fourth bottle 1$
a)from this information derive Bert,s demand schedule graph his demand curve for bottled water.
b)if the price of bottle of water is $4 how many bottle does Bert buy?how much consumer surplus does Bert get from his purchases ? Show Bert,s consumer surplus in your graph.
c)if the price fall to$2 how does quantity demanded change how does Bert's consumer surplus change show these changes in your graph

Suppose that applying fertiliser to a crop in a particular region results in water pollution in a nearby water body, and that the pollution is of concern to the community. We could identify two different "optimal" fertiliser rates: one that is optimal from the perspective of the community as a whole (considering pollution) and one that is optimal for the farmer (ignoring pollution). How do these two rates compare?
