Defendo has decided to introduce a revolutionary video game. As the first firm in the market, it will have a monopoly position for at least some time. In deciding what type of manufacturing technology to employ, it has two alternatives. Technology A is publicly available and will result in annual total cost TC29) = 10 + 89. Technology B is a proprietary technology developed in Defendo's research labs. It involves a higher fixed cost of production but lower marginal cost: TC(q) = 60 + 2q. Market demand for the new product is p = 20 - Q. Suppose Defendo were certain that it would maintain its monopoly position in the market for the entire product lifespan without threat of entry. Which technology would Defendo adopt? Explain. What would be Defendo's profit given the choice?
