4. Consider demand function ?=600−100? in a market with two firms with constant marginal cost ??. Suppose a shareholder owns 60% of firm 1 and 30% of firm 2. If this shareholder has control over firm 1, how will s/he want firm 1 to choose its production level ?1 in response to firm 2’s production level ?2? For this question, the shareholder takes ?2 as given.

Consider a market with demand function D(p)=10-p and firms with
constant marginal cost MC=1. Assume that there is no fixed cost and
thus C(q1)=q1and C(q2)=q2
2. Suppose the owners of the two firms meet together secretly and agree to form a cartel. They choose a total level of production that maximizes their joint profits. They agree to split production and thus profits) equally (a) Suppose that both firms abide by their secret agreement. How much will each firm produce? What...

The market demand function is Q = 10000 - 1000p Each firm has a marginal cost of m=$0.28. Firm 1, the leader, acts before Firm 2, the follower. Solve for the Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities, prices, and profits. Compare your solution to the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities are q1 = ____ units and q2= ____ units. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium price is: p=$_____________ Profits for the firms are profit1=$_______________ and profit2=$_______________ The Cournot-Nash equilibrium...

A duopoly faces a market demand of p 180-Q. Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of Mc1 -S20. Firm 2s constant marginal cost is MC2 $40. Calculate the output of each firm, market output, and price if there is (a) a collusive equilibrium or (b) a Cournot equilibrium The collusive equilibrium occurs where q, equals and q2 equals (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places) Market output is The collusive equilibrium price is S The...

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...

Duopoly quantity-setting firms face the market demand p=210-Q. Each firm has a marginal cost of $15 per unit. What is the Cournot equilibrium? The Cournot Equilibrium quantities for Firm 1 (q1) and Firm 2 (q2) are: q1= __ units and q2 =__ units . (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.) The Cournot equilibrium price is p=$__ (two decimal places)
1. Consider a three firm (n = 3) Cournot oligopoly. The market inverse demand function is p (Q) = 24 Q. Firm 1 has constant average and marginal costs of $12 per unit, while firms 2 and 3 have constan...
1. Consider a three firm (n = 3) Cournot oligopoly. The market inverse demand function is p (Q) = 24 Q. Firm 1 has constant average and marginal costs of $12 per unit, while firms 2 and 3 have constant average and marginal costs of $15 per unit. a)Verify that the following are Nash equilibrium quantities for this market: q1 = 9 / 2 and q2 = q3 = 3 / 2 . b)How much profit does each firm earn...

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...

Q1: The following graph shows the current short-run average total cost (ATC), short-run marginal cost (MC), and long-run average cost (LATC) curves of a typical perfectly competitive firm that uses only labour and physical capital to produce its product and the current market price (PⓇ). S/unit MC ATC LATC B Pa E Q1 Q2 Quantity a) How many units of output would the firm choose to produce in the short run? Explain. b) Is the firm making an economic profit...

The market demand curve for mineral water is P=15-Q. Suppose that there are two firms that produce mineral water, each with a constant marginal cost of 3 dollars per unit. Suppose that both firms make their production decisions simultaneously. How much each firm should produce to maximize its profit? Calculate the market price. The quantity produced by firm 1 is denoted by Q1 The quantity produced by firm 2 is denoted by Q2. The total quantity produced in the market...
