Can someone help with the problem below?
Suppose two oligopolistic firms face a market (inverse) demand curve P(Y + Y2) = 20 - (Y1 + Y). Both firms produce at constant marginal cost, but they are not symmetric: firm 1 has marginal cost 2 and firm 2 has marginal cost 4. For each of the following competitive situations below, compute: • The equilibrium price. • The equilibrium quantities produced by each firm. • The profits received by each firm. (a)...

Suppose that demand in a given market is given by P = 439 - Q and marginal costs are constant, with MC = 147. Assume that fixed costs are zero (so ATC also are constant at 147). If there are only two firms in the market, one can construct a matrix as shown below representing the payoffs to strategies: Firm 2 Collude (92=73) Compete (92=97) Collude (qı=73) 10658, 10658 8906, 11834 Firm 1 Compete (qi=97) 11834, 8906 9506, 9506 a.)...

For questions 14: Market demand for widgets is Q = 100 - p. Whether there is just one firm 10- selling widgets or many firms selling widgets, the marginal cost and average cost is 10. 10 2 Assume there is one firm selling widgets. What is the equilibrium price (p) and quantity sold (Q)? 2 Assume there are two firms selling widgets acting as Cournot duopolists (Firm 1 and Firm 2). What is the quantity sold for each firm? 122...

Suppose we have a market demand Q = 18 – P and a cost C(Q) 9) = 3Q?. (10 points) Suppose the two firms cannot collude and instead compete in the Cournot Model in the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q 18 – P) with the same cost (C(q) = -23. 2 a. Set up firm 1's profit maximization. b. Solve for firm 1's best response function. C. Solve for firm 1's quantity, firm 2's quantity,...

Suppose a second firm enters the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q = 18 – P) with the same cost (CQ) = Q?). a. If the two firms successful collude what is the equilibrium market quantity and price? b. If the two firms successfully collude what is the joint profit? c. What do we call a collusion of firms? d. Why do we not usually see successful collusion of firms?
The market for widgets consists of two firms that produce identical products. Competition in the market...
The market for widgets consists of two firms that produce identical products. Competition in the market is such that each of the firms 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 is known to have a cost advantage over firm 1. A recent study found that the (inverse) market demand curve faced by the two firms...

Suppose we have a market demand Q = 18 – P and a cost C(Q) 9) = 3Q?. Suppose a second firm enters the market described in question 1 (market demand is 1 still Q = 18 – P) with the same cost (cle) = 109. a. If the two firms successful collude what is the equilibrium market quantity and price? b. If the two firms successfully collude what is the joint profit? C. What do we call a collusion...

Problem 1: Suppose that the market demand function is given by q-80-2p. All firms in the industry have marginal cost of 10 and no fixed cost. In this problem, the firms compete in quantities. (a) What is the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, profit (producer surplus) and deadweight loss if there is only one firm in the industry? (b) Now answer the same question if there are two firms in the industry (duopoly). How does your answer compare to the...

Suppose the two firms cannot collude and instead compete in the Cournot Model in the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q=18-P) with the same cost (C(Q)=1/2 *Q^2). Set up firm 1’s profit maximization. Solve for firm 1’s best response function. Solve for firm 1’s quantity, firm 2’s quantity, the equilibrium market quantity, and price. Show your work. Is this a Nash equilibrium? Do consumers prefer the Cournot competition equilibrium over the collusion of the two firms...
