10)Consider two firms producing the same good for a common market. Firm 1 has the cost function ofc(q1)=2q1 and firm 2 has the cost function of c(q2)=q2. Assuming they compete as Bertrandduopolists, what price would you expect to prevail?
a)1
b)2.5
c)2
d)3
need explain！
Homework Answers
Under the Bertrand Model, firms compete until price becomes equal to MC of production.
MC1 = 2
MC2 = 1
Firm 2 is more efficient , so it will survive the competition. Actual price will be $ 1

3. Two firms in the market, 1 and 2, face an inverse demand function given by P(Q1 +Q2) = 400 – 2Q1 – 202 where Q1 is the level of production of firm 1 and Q2 is the level of production of firm 2. The cost function of firm 1 is C1 (Q1) = (Q1) and the cost function of firm 2 is C2 (Q2) = (Q1). The two firms compete in quantities (i.e., Cournot competition). (a) Set up the...

Consider two firms (Firm A and Firm B) competing in this market. They simultaneously decide on the price of the product in a typical Bertrand fashion while producing an identical product. Both firms face the same cost function: C(qA) = 12qA and C(qB) = 12qB, where qA is the output of Firm A and qB is the output of Firm B. The demand curve is P = 30 - Q.

Two profit-maximizing firms compete in a market. Firm 1 chooses quantity qı > 0 and Firm 2 chooses quantity 42 > 0. The market price is: p(91,92) = 8 - 2q1 - 42. The cost to Firm 1 of producing qi is C1 = 41. The cost to Firm 2 of producing 92 is C2 = 42 + 42. a.) * Calculate the best-response function for each firm. b.) Suppose the two firms choose their quantities simultaneously. What is the...

Suppose two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) are producing a product. The total demand is: Q = 110 –10P, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Each of the two firms has the cost function TC = 5Q. Based on the information given, calculate the equilibrium P, Q, Q1, Q2, Profit1 and Profit2 under monopoly (collusion), Cournot, and Stackelberg. For the Stackelberg model, assume that Firm 1 is the leader and Firm 2 is the follower. Show all your workings...

Questions 10-12 rely on the following prompt: Firm 1 and Firm 2 compete as Cournot duopolists, producing q1 and q2 units of output respectively, such that market output Q=q1+q2. They face market inverse demand of P = 400 − 2Q. Firm 1’s Total cost is given by TC1=2q1^2. Firm 2’s by TC2=2q2^2. 10. What is Firm 1’s equilibrium profit maximizing output level, q1*? 11. What is market output in the Cournot equilibrium for this market (so, what is the value...

Now consider a typical Cournot duopoly situation such that the market is being served by two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) that simultaneously decide on the level of output to sell in the market, while producing an identical product. The total output of the industry is Q = q1 + q2, where q1 and q2 are the output of Firm 1 and 2, respectively. Each firm has a symmetric cost function: C(q1) = 12 q1 and C(q2) = 12...
