Suppose That the Inverse Demand for a Downstream Firm Is

question 60

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the inverse demand for a downstream firm is by P = 150 - Q.Its upstream division produces a critical input with costs of C_U(Q_d) = 5(Q_d ) ².The downstream firm's cost is C_d(Q) = 10Q.When there is no external market for the downstream firm's critical input, the net marginal revenue for the downstream firm is

• A)NMR_d = 140 - 2Q.
• B)NMR_d = 150 - 2Q.
• C)NMR_d = 140 - Q.
• D)NMR_d = 150 - Q.
