Please explain area wise explanation of above mcq, like what is a and what is b, what is marginal revenue and why you select a particular option..?
Homework Answers
The problem with cartel is that every firm has an incentive to cheat by lowering price and increasing the market share. And by doing this the firm that is cheating can earn higher revenues than what it was earning in the cartel. Since any deviation from a particular Price quantity point is giving greater value to the firm that is cheating, that's why the initial Cartel price quantity point is not a Nash Equilibrium.
The dotted line above A and B is the price at which the quantity is sold say P. The dotted line below A and B is the MC line. Thus (P-MC) is the mark up. since this is not a perfectly competitive market P not=MC.
selecting a particular option would be difficult since Cost functions are not mentioned. But the concept I have mentioned , I am confident about it

3. Cournot model: Quantity competition in simultaneous move homogeneous product duopoly explain in words. The market for bricks consists of two firms that produce identical products. Competition in the market is such that each of the firms simultaneously and independently produces a quantity of output, and these quantities are then sold in the market at a price that is determined by the total amount produced by the two firms. Firm 2 has a patented technology that provides it with a...

16. An industry has two firms. The cost function of Firm 1 is ci(q) 2q + 500, and the cost function of Firm 2 is cz(g) - 2q + 400. The demand function for the output of this industry is a downward-sloping straight line. In a Cournot equilibrium in which both firms produce positive amounts of output: a. Total output of both firms is less than the cartel (joint-profit maximizing) output b. Firm 1 and Firm 2 produce the same...

Cournot Oligopoly and Number of Firms In a Cournot oligopoly, each firm assumes that its rivals do not change their output based on the output that it produces. Ilustration: A Cournot oligopoly has two firms, YandZ. Yobservesthe market demand curve and the number of units that Z produces. It assumes that Z does notchange its output regardless of the number of units that it (Y) produces, so chooses a production level that maximizes its profits. The general effects of a...
