Two firms with a constant MC and no fixed cost compete in a
Cournot fashion. Firm A's MC=20 and Firm B's MC=40.
Market demand is given by x=180-p. The government imposes a per
unit tax of ?=10 which the producer pays. What is market price?

Find the value of Q when Firms A and B Cournot compete to
maximize profits (i.e. when they simultaneously determine profit
maximizing output).
Firm A and Firm B compete in the sale of a product with market inverse demand given by P(0) = 260-Q, where Q is market output, and Q = 9A + 96 (9A = Firm A's output, 93 = Firm B's output). Firm A's Total Cost function is given by TCA9A) = 209A and Firm B's is...

Two firms, Acme and Roadco, produce anvils, and compete with each other as Cournot oligopolists (i.e. they compete in quantities). The (inverse) demand for anvils is given by P(Q)=500-3Q. Both firms have constant marginal costs of MC=50 and no fixed costs. Hint: the partial derivative of (c-bX-bY)X with respect to X is c-2bX-bY. What is the equilibrium consumer and producer surplus in the market? (5 points)

1. Consider the following asymmetric version of the Cournot duopoly model. Two firms compete by simultaneously choosing the quantities (q, and q2) they produce. Their products are homogeneous, and market demand is given by p- 260-2Q, where Q-q +q2. Firm 1 has a cost advantage; Firm 1 produces at zero cost, while Firm 2 produces at a constant average cost of 40. (The difference in costs is what makes this an asymmetric game.) a. Derive both firms' profit functions, as...
