Consider Atlanta as an oligopoly market with five airlines that behave in a Cournot Model fashion. The Atlanta market demand schedule is: P = 580 - 1.5*Q. The Cost schedule for Delta is: MC=AC=Scomp=110. The Cost schedule for the other four firms (United, Southwest, et al) is: MC=AC=Scomp=90. What is the Cournot Market Price

Consider a market that is a Bertrand oligopoly with 5 firms in the market. Each of these firms produce an identical product and each have the same cost function of C(Q) = 80Q. The inverse market demand for this product is P = 2480 – 2Q. What is the equilibrium market price?
Two identical firms currently serve a market. Each has a cost function of C(q) = 30q. Market demand is P(Q) = 80 − 0.01Q. The firms compete by setting prices simultaneously as in Bertrand competition. Let PB represent the equilibrium Bertrand duopoly price.The firms have proposed to merge, and they announce that this merger will result in considerable cost savings. The firms’ new cost function will have the form Cm(q) = cq + 100, 000. Note that the merged firm has positive fixed costs while the unmerged firms do not. (a) What is the merged firm’s profit-maximizing price if the merger is approved? Is it possible for the cost savings (via c < PB) to be sufficiently large for the merged firms’ profit-maximizing price to be below the duopoly equilibrium price? (b) Suppose that the Department of Justice permits the merger with the requirement that the new (post-merger) price must be no greater than the pre-merger price. Under what circumstances are the firms willing to go through with…
Consider a market that is a Bertrand oligopoly with 5 firms in the market. Each of these firms produce an identical product and each have the same cost function of C(Q) = 80Q. The inverse market demand for this product is P = 2480 – 2Q. How much does EACH firm produce at the equilibrium price?
Two firms, A and B, compete in a Stackelberg duopoly with constant marginal costs of $10 for Firm A and $12 for Firm B. The market demand is given by Q = 100 - P. Determine the equilibrium output levels, market price, and profits for both firms, assuming Firm A is the leader
