There are two Cournot competitors, A & B. Each has total cost of 12x, where x is a firm’s output,
and demand is X = 400 – P, where P is market price. The Nash equilibrium for this game is
(a.) Both firms produce 119.9 units
(b.) Both firms produce 122.2 units
(c.) Both firms produce 129.3 units
(d.) Both firms produce 135 units
Graph it with labels, thanks!

Two firms sell identical products and compete as Cournot (price-setting) competitors in a market with a demand of p = 150 - Q. Each firm has a constant marginal and average cost of $3 per unit of output. Find the quantity each firm will produce and the price in equilibrium.

1. Consider a Cournot game between two firms. The firms face an inverse demand function described by the equation P(Q) = α − Q if Q ≤ α, P(Q) = 0 if Q > α, where P is the price of output and Q is the total output produced by the two firms. Firm 1 produces its output q1 at a constant unit cost c1 (i.e, the total cost to firm 1 of producing q1 units of output is c1q1)....

Cournot: Consider a Cournot duopoly in which firms A and B simultaneously choose quantity. Both firms have constant marginal cost of $20 and zero fixed cost. Market demand is given by: P = 140 − qA − qB. (a) Derive the best-response functions for each firm and plot them on the same graph.

1. Consider the following asymmetric version of the Cournot duopoly model. Two firms compete by simultaneously choosing the quantities (q, and q2) they produce. Their products are homogeneous, and market demand is given by p- 260-2Q, where Q-q +q2. Firm 1 has a cost advantage; Firm 1 produces at zero cost, while Firm 2 produces at a constant average cost of 40. (The difference in costs is what makes this an asymmetric game.) a.

Suppose Cournot duopolist firms operate with each having a cost of 30qi (i = 1,2) so that each firm's marginal cost is 30. The inverse market demand curve is P = 120 - Q where Q = q1 + q2. Suppose there were no barriers to entry and firms continued to enter so long as there were positive economic profits. At the Nash-Cournot equilibrium, the total output, Q, is Select one: a. 30. b. 45. c. 60. d. 90.
