BP said it would cut prices by around 2p at many of its sites, and would continue to respond to local competition.A spokesman for the AA said: “Asda’s price drop marks the start of a new price war. Others will have no choice but to follow.”Asda’s Commercial director David Miles said: “There is no justification for any major retailer selling fuel above £1 per litre – that is why we are delighted to be able to reduce both petrol…COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Stackelberg ModelIn a given market good there are only 2 firms that satisfy the demand, and their respective total cost functions are: CTi = 400 and the demand that is estimated is P = 120 - 2QIf the exception variable of both firms is the quantity they will produce, such that the decisions to produce are made sequentially firm number 1 will be the leader who decides the quantity to produce and firm number 2 (follower) decides based on the production of firm number 1, we ask:(a) quantity produced by each firm and its equilibrium price in the market.(b) Profit of each company at equilibrium and (c) Graph your results
- Please no written by hand and no emage Answer all parts (a) to (e) of this question. A profit-maximising firm produces quantities q1 and q2 of two goods, with total costs given by: C = q 2 1 + 2q 2 2 − αq1q2. The goods are sold in competitive markets at prices p1 and p2. (a) Write down an expression for the profit of the firm. Obtain and provide an economic interpretation for the first-order profit-maximising conditions. (b) Find the quantities q1 and q2 that satisfy the first order conditions. (c) Find the second-order conditions for profit maximisation. For what values of α are the second-order conditions satisfied? (d) Assuming that the second-order conditions are satisfied, obtain the firm’s profitmaximising outputs of the two goods.
