1. Consider two Cournot duopolists. Each firm sells a homogenous product and has a MC = c per unit, and no fixed costs. Market demand is P = a−bQ, where market quantity sold Q = q1 +q2, where q1 is firm 1’s output and q2 is firm 2’s output. Each firm simultaneously chooses its quantity to sell, then lets price clear the market. a. What is firm 1’s best response function (or reaction function)? b. Solve for the profit maximising...

Scenario 14-4 The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for 540 per unit. • When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24.50. . When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24.55. Refer to Scenario 14-4. How does the firm's marginal revenue (MR) compare to its marginal cost (MC) when it increases its output from 150 units to 151 units?...

1. Assume that at a given level of output a monopoly firm has marginal revenue of $9, its ATC is $9, and marginal cost is $7. If this firm were to incrementally increase its output then A) profit will increase B) price will increase C) profit w decrease D) price will equal marginal revenue. 2. For a monopoly firm, if AVC = $20, P = $21, and ATC = $22, then the firm should: A) increase production. B) produce at...

A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is: Pa=100-Qa and the Japanese inverse demand function is pj=90-2Qj where both prices, Pa and Pj, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $25 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets? (Hint: The monopoly determines its optimal (monopoly) price in each country separately because customers cannot resell the...
