How does the channel captain idea differ among corporate, administered, and contractual vertical marketing systems with particular reference to the use of the different forms of influence available to firms

Need with my trade theory homework. i doubt what i wrote was right.consider a monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks in which n symmetric firms face the following demand function: q=s(1/n-b(p-(p with the straight line on which implies the marginal revenue functionmr=p-(q/sb)finally, suppose firms face the total cost functiontc=900,000+100qsuppose the market size, s, is 27,000,000, and the elasticity parameter b is 0.003.diagram the price and the average total cost in the market as a function of the number of firms. what are the equations for each curve, and why does each curve slope up or down? label the equilibrium number of firms and the equilibrium price in the diagram. why is this the equilibrium?

You estimate that your cattle farm will generate $0.15 million of profits on sales of $3 million under normal economic conditions and that the degree of operating leverage is 2. (leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. do not round intermediate calculations. enter your answers in millions.) a. what will profits be if sales turn out to be $1.5 million?

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
