- Kinked demand curve model is useful in explaining price quantity stability that prevails in oligopolistic market agree? Or disagree use ilustrations to explainOnly typed answer In a duopoly, each firm has marginal cost MC = 100, and market demand is Q = 500 - 0.5p. Assuming average cost is the same as marginal cost. In which oligopoly, Cournot or Stackelberg, do firms have more market power? a. Cournot since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is twice as much as that in the Stackelberg model. b. Stackelberg since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is twice as much as that in the Stackelberg model. c. Cournot since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is about 1.08 times as much as that in the Stackelberg model. d. Stackelberg since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is about 1.08 times as much as that in the Stackelberg model.Explain what is Oligopoly and duopoly?

Market demand is given by P = 260 − 2Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Both firms have constant MC = AT C = 20.a. Solve for the Cournot equilibrium and find the Cournot equilibrium profits for each firm.b. Now suppose the two firms formed a cartel. What would be the profits for each firm then?c. If firm 2 sticks to the cartel agreement (quantity), then what is the best response for firm 1 (if firm 1 were to deviate)? Find the profits for firm 1 from deviating.d. How large must the probability-adjusted discount factor be in order for the cartel to be stable?e. How would the answer to part d. change if the two firms were competing in prices (Bertrand)?Please answer all steps, because no too much detailed answers required.
