    Empire Theatre Research Paper

    When traveling in Canada, you'll want to see the sites and attractions that Belleville has to offer. One of the most iconic attractions in the city is the Empire Theatre. It originally opened in 1938 as the McCarthy Theatre. It featured films as well as live performances within its walls. The theater closed in 1962 and stayed closed until 1974. It didn't become a theater again though. It was turned into a sports and hobby store, but the owner didn't want to stop it from becoming a theater in the future. Minimal changes were made to the interior. Thankfully, it was purchased, renovated and reopened in 2003 as a 700 seat theater. The Empire Theatre has musicals, comedy shows and concerts. http://www.theempiretheatre.com/…

    Quadptex Market Power

    Even though QuadPlex Cinema has market power, it is losing money. Even though a firm has market power, when they increase price the demand will fall. The measurement of market power is based on the availability of substitutes. Since there are no more cinemas extremely close by, QuadPlex inherently has some degree of market power. As a way of measuring market power, they can use the Lerner index. It states L= (Price - Marginal Cost)/ Price. The higher the index number, the more market power the firm has. However, they cannot raise prices indiscriminately because thanks in part to today’s technology there are readily available substitutes to those willing to use them. We have Netflix, RedBox, cable, satellite TV with pay per view and others. There is also the availability of streaming TV and movies over the internet from the comfort of our home. QuadPlex can either increase the price or decrease their expenses in order to increase profits. As we learned previously, the price can only be raised as high it will allow until the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost. If the management just tries to raise prices up as high as they can reasonably get away with, business may in fact suffer even more than it already has. I think there are several other options for QuadPlex cinemas to increase their profit margin. The best way is obviously to reduce their operating expenses. In an effort to increase consumer patronage, could they offer special deals for certain…
