Coke and Pepsi compete in price competition. However, their products are differentiated – people can taste the difference!
Demand for Coke is given by Qc= 28-4Pc+0.1Pp.
Demand for Pepsi is given by Qp = 24-2Pp+0.1Pc.
The (constant) marginal cost for Coke is 3.
The (constant) marginal cost for Pepsi is 4.
What is the equilibrium price of Coke in this one-shot, simultaneous move game? Give your answer to two decimal places, for example, XX.XX.

Coke and Pepsi compete in price competition. However, their products are differentiated – people can taste the difference! Demand for Coke is given by Qc= 28-3Pc+0.1Pp. Demand for Pepsi is given by Qp = 23-3Pp+0.1Pc. The (constant) marginal cost for Coke is 2. The (constant) marginal cost for Pepsi is 3. What is the equilibrium price of Coke in this one-shot, simultaneous move game? Give your answer to two decimal places, for example, XX.XX.

Suppose the demand for Pepsi is qp = 54 - 2pp + 1p. The demand for Coke is qc = 54 - 2pc + 1pp. Each firm faces a constant marginal cost of zero. Determine the Bertrand equilibrium prices. What happens to the Bertrand equilibrium prices and profits if increased differentiation causes the demand for Pepsi to become qp = 104 - 2pp + 1pc while the demand for Coke remains unchanged?

Differentiated Bertrand competition versus price leadership. The demand for two brands of laundry detergent, Wave (W) and Rah (R), are given by the following demands: Qw =80–2pW +pR QR =80–2pR +pWThe firms have identical cost functions, with a constant marginal cost of 10. The firms compete in prices. (a) What is the best response function for each firm? (that is, what is firm W's optimal price as a function of firm R’s price, and vice-versa?) What is the equilibrium to...

5. Consider two firms selling differentiated varieties of a product, e.g., Coke and Pepsi. Each firm j chooses a price pj for its own variety. Since these varieties are close substitutes, the demand that each firm faces depends not only on its own price, but also the price of its competitor. Specifically, the demand for j’s variety is given by Dj (pj , p−j ) = max 0, 60 + p−j − 2pj Suppose that both firms can produce any...

6. Price competition in simultaneous move differentiated product duopoly: There are only two gourmet food restaurants in a town. Their menus are not identical, but not totally different either. The price for each entree in a restaurant is the same. The restaurants pick their prices and sell according to their demand. The demand curve faced by restaurant 1 is given by: 100 - 4P + 2p2 and by restaurant 2 is given by: y = 100 - 4p2 + 2p....
