Suppose there are two firms operating in a market. The firms produce identical products, and the total cost for each firm is given by C = 8qi, i = 1,2, where qi is the quantity of output produced by firm i. Therefore the marginal cost for each firm is constant at MC = 8. Also, the market demand is given by P = 56 –4Q, where Q= q1 + q2 is the total industry output. The following formulas will be...

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. (i) What will be the Bertrand-Nash equilibrium price (pB) chosen...

Two firms sequentially choose quantities q1, q2 to produce an identical good. First, firm 1 chooses q1, then firm 2 chooses q2. The price per unit in the market is p(q1, q2) = 1 − (q1 + q2). Assume that both firms have a constant marginal cost of zero. Both firms seek to maximize their profit. a. Formulate this story as an extensive form game b. Find all Nash equilibria of this game. c. Find the Subgame Perfect Nash equilibria...

Two firms are producing identical goods in a market characterized by the inverse demand curve P = 120 – 4Q, where Q is the sum of Firm 1's and Firm 2's output, q1 + q2. Each firm's marginal cost is constant at $20. Graph the reaction function for each firm and indicate the Nash equilibrium.

Suppose that there are two firms in the industry, and they are competing in quantities. The amount of the commodity sold by firm i is qi, i =1,2. The market demand function is given by P = 50 − 3q , where q = q1+q2. The cost functions for each firm is given by TCi =25 + 5qi , i = 1,2. 3.1) Find the profit-maximizing quantity for each firm, and determine each firm’s profit level. 3.2) Suppose that both...

Suppose 2 firms compete in a market for widgets. Each of them produces identical widgets. Each firm incurs a cost of $10 per widget produced. The two firms simultaneously (and independently) decide how many widgets to produce. The inverse demand for widgets is given by P=100−3Q, where Q=q1+q2, where q1denotes the output of firm 1 and q2 denotes the output of firm 2. What is firm 1's best response to q2=2? What is firm 1's best response to q2=20? What...

Question 2: Simultaneous quantity choiceTwo firms F1 and F2 produce a homogeneous product and compete on the same market. The market price is described by the inverse demand curveP= 11−2Q, where Q is total industry output andPis the market price. To keep things simple, suppose that each firm can produce either 1 or 2 units (these are the only possible choices of production).Further suppose that both firms have a constant marginal cost equal to 2, so that the total cost...

Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The inverse market demand they face is P = 120-2Q. The total cost function for each firm is TC1(Q) = 4Q1. The total cost function for firm 2 is TC2(Q) = 2Q2. What is the output of each firm? Find: Q1 = ? Q2 = ?
