While there is a degree of differentiation between major grocery chains like Albertsons and Kroger, the regular offering of sale prices by both firms for many of their products provides evidence that these firms engage in price competition. For markets where Albertsons and Kroger are the dominant grocers, this suggests that these two stores similtaneously announce one of two prices for a given product: a regular price or a sale price. Suppose that when one firm announces the sale price and the other annoucements the regular price for a particular product, the firm announcing the sale price attracts 1,000 extra customers to earn a profit of $5,000, compared to the $3,000 earned by the firm announcing the regular price. When both firms announce the sale price, the two firms split the market equally (each getting an extrs 500 customers) to earn profits of $2,000 each. When both firms announce the regular price, each company attracts only its 1,500 loyal customers and the firms each earn…
4)The result with unspecified N firms can be applied to N approaching infinity. Q2) Which of the following statements about the classic Cournot duopoly model is incorrect? 1)The products of the two firms are homogeneous. 2)It is a static game with complete information. 3)The two firms decide on their prices and let their quantities be dictated demand conditions. 4)There exist examples that have unique Nash equilibrium points
You are the manager of BlackSpot Computers, which competes directly with Condensed Computers to sell high-powered computers to businesses. From the two businesses’ perspectives, the two products are indistinguishable. The large investment required to build production facilities prohibits other firms from entering this market, and existing firms operate under the assumption that the rival will hold output constant. The inverse market demand for computers is P = 5,900 − Q, and both firms produce at a marginal cost of $800 per computer. Currently, BlackSpot earns revenues of $4.25 million and profits (net of investment, R&D, and other fixed costs) of $890,000. The engineering department at BlackSpot has been steadily working on developing an assembly method that would dramatically reduce the marginal cost of producing these high-powered computers and has found a process that allows it to manufacture each computer at a marginal cost of $500. How will this technological advance impact…
Q1) Which one of the following statements about Cournot oligopoly model with N firms is incorrect? 1)The result with unspecifed N firms can be applied to N=1. 2)If N>1 and there exists a unique Nash equilibrium, then the market price cannot depend on N. 3)If the model is symmetric and there exists a unique Nash equilibrium and N approaches infinity, then the market price approaches to the marginal cost, i.e., the perfectly competitive price. 4)The result with unspecified N firms can be applied to N approaching infinity. Q2) Which of the following statements about the classic Cournot duopoly model is incorrect? 1)The products of the two firms are homogeneous. 2)It is a static game with complete information. 3)The two firms decide on their prices and let their quantities be dictated demand conditions. 4)There exist examples that have unique Nash equilibrium points.
Suppose that two firms produce mountain spring water and the market demand for mountain spring water is given as follows: P= 254 - 91 - 92 Firm 1 and Firm 2 have a MC = 50 a) Find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium price and quantity of each firm. b) Assume now that firm 1 becomes the Stackelberg leader. What will be the market price, output by each firm? Compared to part a, who gains? c) If Firm 1 chooses a quantity, then Firm 2 chooses a quantity (having observed Firm 1's quantity), then Firm 1 has an opportunity to revise its quantity (having observed Firm 2's quantity), then payoffs are determined, does either firm stand to gain relative to the case of simultaneous quantity choice? Why or why not? (hint: there is no need to do any calculation here).

A homogeneous products duopoly faces a market demand function given by Q = 20-2P, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Both firms have a constant marginal cost MC = 4. 1. Suppose the two firms set their quantities simultaneously by guessing the other firm's quantity choice. Derive the equation of each firm's reaction curve and then graph these curves. 2. What is the Cournot equilibrium quantity and price in this market for each firm? 3. What would the equilibrium price in this market be if it were perfectly competitive? 4.

The figure below shows the market conditions facing two firms, Brooks, Inc., and Spring, Inc., in the domestic market for large utility pumps. Each firm has constant long-run costs, so that MC0 = AC0. As competitors in a duopoly, there are a number of models to determine output and prices. Assume that the Bertrand duopoly model applies, so that they both set price equal to their marginal cost. Initial output in this market will be 16,000 per year (this is split between the two firms), at a price of $300. (a) At the initial equilibrium, what is total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus)? Suppose that Brooks, Inc. and Spring, Inc. form a joint venture, River Company, whose utility pumps replace the output sold by the parent companies in the domestic market. Assuming that River Company operates as a monopolist and that its costs equal MC0 = AC0, what is: (b) The price? (c) The output? (d) Total profit?
