By how much should< the price increase if there's a shock to the firm's cost that makes the marginal cost increase by 21 percent?
2 (10 points). A drug company has a monopoly on a new patented medicine. The product can b, made in either of two plants. The costs of production for the two plants are MCI = 20 + 2Ql, an< MC2 = 10 + 5Q2 . The firm's estimate of the demand for the product is P = 20 - 3(Ql + Q2 )
How much should the firm plan to produce in each plant, and at what price should it plan to see) the product?

7 (20 points). Explain why the kinked demand approach was not accepted for solving a dynamic, duopolistic competition problem and what was proposed as an alternative for solving such problem·
Explain in detail what this alternative approach is, what is the problem it tries to solve, what are, the variables involved, and what is the mechanism (technicalities) used for solving.
