Assuming perfect competition in the market for Good A, let's assume that the equilibrium market price has been established. Assuming all other conditions remain constant (under the ceteris paribus assumption), let's suppose that the price of Good B, which is a substitute for Good A, increases. In this case, how does the equilibrium market price and quantity of Good A change? Show with the help of a graph.

Imagine a market with demand p(q) = 100 − q. There are two firms, 1 and 2, and each firm i has to simultaneously choose its price pi. If pi < pj , then firm i gets all of the market while no one demands the good of firm j. If the prices are the same then both firms split the market demand equally. Imagine that there are no costs to produce any quantity of the good. (These are two large dairy farms, and the product is manure.) Write down the normal form of this game.
