Debbie makes porcelain plates in her home and sells them to the Opus gallery. She spent $400 last month on supplies and made 50 plates. She sold the plates to the gallery at $25 per plate. The gallery sells all the plates for $40 each. For all of the 50
plates, what is Debbie's total value added? For all the 50 plates, what is the gallery's total value added?
What will be an ideal response?
To determine Debbie's value added, we must find the additional market value she gives to the plates. For each plate, this is the difference between the price she charges the gallery and the cost of her raw materials. Her cost per plate is $400/50 or $8. Her value added per plate is $25 - $8 or $17. Her total value added for all 50 plates is $17 × 50 or $850. The gallery's value added per plate is $40 - $25 = $15. The total value added of the gallery for all 50 plates is 50 × $15 = $750.

Consider an incumbent that successfully links the pre-entry price and post-entry profit to prevent entry. The incumbent's monopoly profit is $10 million. If a rival successfully enters the market, the incumbent's profits will fall to $4 million. If the incumbent lowers output to 25,000 units, its rival will stay out of the market, resulting in an infinite stream of profits of $8 million annually. Due to a recent loan default, the current interest rate is whopping 210 percent. Is limit pricing profitable for the incumbent?
A. No since $4 million is less than $4.2 million. B. No, since $1.905 million is less than $2 million. C. Yes, since $19.05 million is greater than $2 million. D. Linking the pre-entry price to the post-entry profit is sufficient to guarantee the profitability of limit pricing.
