Need detailed explanation for question 6.
5. Suppose there are two firms, Boors and Cudweiser, each selling nonalcoholic beer. Suppose Boors and Cudweiser are not viewed as perfect substitutes but rather demand for Boors is QB = 5000 − 1000PB + 100PC and demand for Cudweiser is QC = 3000 − 1500PC + 100PB. For simplicity, assume zero marginal costs. Which is the more preferred beer?
a. Boor's b. Cudweiser c. they are equally preferred d. neither are preferred
6. Consider the market for nonalcoholic beers from the previous question. Which of the following is the best-response function for Boors from the Bertrand game?
a. PB = -2.5 + .05PC b. PB = 2.5 + .05PC c. PC = 2.5 - .05PB d. PB = 2.5 - .15PC
7. Consider the market for nonalcoholic beers from the previous question. Boors’ price in a Nash equilibrium (assuming Bertrand competition in these differentiated beers) is about
a. 1.71 b. 2.55 c. 3.55 d. 4.29

Need a detailed explanation to question 2. I have the answer. 1. Suppose there are two firms, Boors and Cudweiser, each selling identical-tasting nonalcoholic beer. Consumers of this beer have no brand loyalty so market demand can be expressed as P = 5 − .001(QB + QC). Boors’ marginal revenue function can be written MR = 5 − .001(2QB + QC) and symmetrically for Cudweiser. Boors operates with out-of-date technology and has constant cost of $2 per unit , whereas...

Suppose there are two firms in a market producing differentiated products. Both firms have MC=0. The demand for firm 1 and 2’s products are given by: q1(p1,p2) = 5 - 2p1 + p2 q2(p1,p2) = 5 - 2p2 + p1 a. First, suppose that the two firms compete in prices (i.e. Bertrand). Compute and graph each firm’s best response functions. What is the sign of the slope of the firms’ best-response functions? Are prices strategic substitutes or complements? b. Solve...

PRACTICE PROBLEMS FOR WEEK 6 Question: [Collusion when firms compete over time] Suppose two firms producing differentiated goods compete every day through prices. The demand for the good produced by firm i E {1,2} is qi = 24 – 5pi + 2p;. Firms can produce the goods with a constant marginal cost of production of O per unit. Hence, firm i's profit is given by T(Pi, p;) = (pi – 0) (24 – 5p; + 2p;). (a) What are firm...

5. Consider two firms selling differentiated varieties of a product, e.g., Coke and Pepsi. Each firm j chooses a price pj for its own variety. Since these varieties are close substitutes, the demand that each firm faces depends not only on its own price, but also the price of its competitor. Specifically, the demand for j’s variety is given by Dj (pj , p−j ) = max 0, 60 + p−j − 2pj Suppose that both firms can produce any...
