Best response, Firm 1: q1 = 28 - 0.5q2.........(1)
Best response, Firm 2: q2 = 35 - 0.5q1.........(2)
(Part e)
Plugging (2) into (1),
q1 = 28 - 0.5 x (25 - 0.5q1)
q1 = 28 - 12.5 + 0.25q1
0.75q1 = 15.5
q1 = 20.67
q2 = 35 - (0.5 x 20.67) = 35 - 10.34 = 24.66
Q = 20.67 + 24.66 = 45.33
P = 80 - 45.33 = 34.67

7. There are two firms that compete according to Cournot competition. Firm 1 has a cost function C1(91) = 2491 +5. Firm 2 has a cost function C(92) = 1022 +10. These firms cannot discriminate, so there is just one price that is determined by the aggregate demand. The inverse demand equation is P(Q) = 80 - Where total supply Q = 91 +92.

Exercise 5: Two firms compete in a centralized market by choosing quantity produced (91,92) simultaneously. Aggregate production determines price, according to the following inverse demand function: p = [85 - 2 (91 +92)]. Firm l's total costs of production) are TC = 541.
