You are the manager of a firm in a new industry. You have gotten the jump on the only other producer in the market. You know what your competitor's cost function is, and it knows yours. Your products, although different to experts, are indistinguishable to the average consumer. Your marketing research team has provided you with the following market demand curve: Q = 1,250 − .5P. Your cost function is CA(QA) = 8QA. Your competitor's cost function is CB(QB) = 6QB. Your diligent effort will allow you to decide how much of your product to provide and will allow you to place it on the market shortly before your competitor will be able to make its product available for sale. What output level will you choose, and what price will you charge? Explain.

You are the manager of Airbus and your sole competitor is Boeing. Prospective buyers regard the airplanes produced by the two firms as identical. The inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P = 1300 – 2Q where Q = QA+QB. Boeing and Airbus have identical cost functions: C(Qi) = 100Qi, for i = A,B. The two firms make production decisions, and the market price for airplanes depends on the total amount produced by each firm....

You have just bought out your only competitor in the region for the supply of electrical power. With the acquisition you now have a second power generation plant (Q2), but one that operates slightly differently to the one you already had (Q1). Both power plants will generate an identical electrical product (voltage and frequency) and can be combined to supply the market, i.e. QT otal = Q1 + Q2. The inverse demand function you are faced with can be represented...
