Suppose Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) is a natural
monopoly for electricity. That is the case where no firm can
produce the total quantity in a market more cheaply than multiple
firms because there is a large fixed cost or economies of scale in
this industry. The demand curve, average total cost curve, marginal
cost curve, and margin revenue for this firm are shown in the
picture below.

Suppose an industry has a duopoly structure. Duopolist 1 has a cost function given by: c1 (y1) = (y1)2 for y1 ≥ 0 . Duopolist 2 has a cost function given by: c2(y2 ) = 12y2 for y2 ≥ 0. Denoting total output produced in the industry by y = (y1 + y2), the inverse demand function for the good produced in the industry is given by: p = 100 – y Find the reaction function of each duopolist. Using...
