Profit is maximized where P=MC.
Over the long run, the firm tends to operates at the minimum level of AC.
Hence,
P=MC=AC.
Hence, profit is zero.

Suppose two firms are engaged in price competition (also known as Bertrand competition). Neither firm has capacity constraints, and both firms have identical cost structures given by c(y)= 10+ 2y? What are the equilibrium profits for each firm?

Two firms in an industry engaged in Bertrand competition. The industry inverse demand function is p = 40 - 2Q, and marginal cost is MC = 10 for both firms. No firm faces capacity constraints. Find the BertrandNash equilibrium (prices, quantities, profits consumer surplus, total surplus, herfindahl index and lerner index)

5. Suppose there is a market of yellow umbrellas and there are two firms who are producing these umbrellas. Firm A has a marginal cost of 25. Firm B has a marginal cost of 10. The demand for yellow umbrellas is captured with the following inverse-demand function: P - 1000 - 200. What are the equilibrium price in Bertrand competition? As a reminder, Bertrand competition is the setting in which the firms directly pick the price. Knowing that can you...

Consider a market where n firms are engaged in quantity competition (also known as Cournot competition), where n is a natural number. Each firm has the same cost structures given by c(y)= 10 + 2y3 What will the profits for each firm be as n gets larger and larger? In other words, what will the profits of each firm be as n approaches infinity?

Sub King and GyroMart are the only two sandwich shops in town. Their goods are imperfect substitutes. Careful research has found that the demand function for the two firms are q1 = 30 − 3p1 + 2p2, and q2 = 30 − 3p2 + 2p1. In other words, while the price of Gyros affects demands for subs, consumers do not simply buy the cheapest item, some are willing to pay more to get a sub, and some are willing to...

Question 1. The Australian Boomerang Company (ABC) and the Boomerang Coperation Limited (BCL) pro- duce identical boomerangs that they sell to a market that has inverse demand p=600-Q, where Q is total market supply. Suppose each firm has a constant marginal cost of production of $6 per boomerang. The two firms are engaged in Cournot competition. (b) Suppose Banjo offers to sell the innovation to only one firm (ABC say). Suppose, moreover, that whether ABC buys the innovation is known...

4. Homogenous product Bertrand. Suppose that the demand for marbles is given by Q- 80 - 5P, where Q is measured in bags of marbles. There are two firms that supply the market, and the firms produce identical marbles (i.e., they are homogenous products). Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of $10.00/bag, while firm 2 has a constant marginal cost of S5.00/bag. The two firms compete in price. In Nash Equilibrium, what prices will the two firms set? How...

Suppose there are only two firms in the marker, firm A and firm B. They produce identical products. Firm A and firm B have the same constant marginal cost, MCA = MCB = ACA = ACB = 25. The market demand function is given by Q = 400 – 4P. a. If the firms practice under the Bertrand model, what will be the Nash equilibrium market price and output level? b. If these two...
