a) Find the two-firm cournot equilibrium for identical products with the following demand and cost function for both firms:
P=40-Qd
C(q)=4q+x [ where x is a positive integer
b) suppose a third firm was considering entering this market(with the same cost function as the two current firms). For which values of X would the third firm decide not to enter the market?

14. Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The demand they face is P = 100 - 2Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q) = 4Q. In equilibrium, the deadweight loss is: (a) $128, (b)$256, (c) $384, (d) $512, (e) none of them are true.. 15. Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The demand they face is P = 100 - 2Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q) = 4Q. The equilibrium output...
Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The inverse market demand they face is P = 128 - 4Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q) = 8Q. The price charged in this market will be: a. $32. b. $48. c. $12. d. $56.
Assume that two companies (A and B) are Cournot duopolists that produce identical products. Demand for the products is given by the following linear demand function: ? = 200 − ?A − ?B where ?c and ?d are the quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the price. Total cost functions for the two companies are ??A = 1,500 + 55?A + ?A2 ??B = 1,200 + 20?B + 2?B2 a. Determine the equilibrium price and quantities sold...
Two firms sell identical products and compete as Cournot (price-setting) competitors in a market with a demand of p = 150 - Q. Each firm has a constant marginal and average cost of $3 per unit of output. Find the quantity each firm will produce and the price in equilibrium.
Consider two identical Cournot firms that have zero marginal cost facing the market inverse demand function: P = 100−1/2 Q What is the quantity produced by each firm? Round your answer to the nearest 1 decimal places.
Suppose a market has two firms that sell identical products. These firms face an inverse market demand function of P=120 – Q. Firm 1 has a constant MC=20. Firm 2’s marginal cost is MC=30. Find the Cournot equilibrium price, quantities, and profits for each firm. If these firms were able to perfectly collude, what would be the monopoly equilibrium?
Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The inverse market demand they face is P = 120-2Q. The total cost function for each firm is TC1(Q) = 4Q1. The total cost function for firm 2 is TC2(Q) = 2Q2. What is the output of each firm? Find: Q1 = ? Q2 = ?
In the market of cournot competition, the aggregate market demand is P 100 4Q a. There exists two firms in the market, with identical production technology, i.e. mci = m2-20. Calculate the cournot equilibrium in this case. Also, draw the best response functions for firm 1 and firm 2 in the((2) plane b. There exists two firms in the market, with different production technology, i.e. mci = 10 and m2-30. Calculate the cournot equilibrium in this case. Also, draw the...
Suppose there are two firms competing in a market. Both firms produce identical products. Firm One is an efficient firm and has total cost function C1=5q1; Firm Two is a less efficient firm and has total cost function C2=10q2 . Market demand for this product is given by Q=150-2p. If two firms compete in quantities of production, find out the best response function of each firm and the equilibrium output level of each firm.
Consider two identical Cournot firms that each have a marginal cost of 20, facing the market inverse demand function: P=120-Q What is the quantity produced for each firm? Round your answer to the nearest 1 decimal places.
