- Consider a Bertrand duopoly where market demand is P(Q)=107-5Q. Each firm faces a marginal cost $18 and no fixed cost. what is one market price that can occur in a Nash equilibrium?In a Bertrand duopoly with homogenous goods and symmetric and identical constant marginal costfunctions the Nash equilibrium has:.Consider a Bertrand duopoly. Market demand is P(Q)=41-3Q, and each firm faces a marginal cost of $4 per unit. How much is the sum of firms' total revenue in the Nash equilibrium?
- Three electricity generating firms are competing in the market with the inverse demand given by P(Q) = 20 – Q. All firms have constant marginal costs. Firm 1’s marginal cost is MC = 5; it has a capacity constraint of K1 = 5 units. Firm 2’s marginal cost is MC = 8; it has a capacity constraint of K2 = 2.5 units. Firm 3’s marginal cost is MC = 10; it has a capacity constraint of K3 = 2.5 units. A. The three firms compete in the style of Cournot. Please compute the Nash equilibrium quantities. Also compute the price in the Nash equilibrium. B. Which of these firms would have produced a larger quantity if it had a larger capacity?In a duopoly market firms face the market demand curve P=280-Q where Q=q1+q2. Each firm has a marginal cost of 40 taka per unit. What is the Cournot equilibrium?How do pricing strategies vary across markets that are characterized bymonopolistic, oligopolistic, monopolistic competition, and purecompetition?
- Suppose the market demand curve for a Bertrand duopoly is downward-slopping. What happens to the Nash equilibrium price and quantity when the constant marginal cost decreases? price [increase, decrease, stay the same] total quantity [increase, decrease, stay the same]Determine the unique Nash equilibrium by eliminating dominated strategiesTwo 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 two firms that compete according to the Cournot model. Inverse demand is P (Q) = 16 − Q. Their cost functions are C (q1) = 2q1 and C (q2) = 6q2 (a) Solve for Nash equilibrium quantities of each firm (b) Suppose firm 2 becomes more inefficient and its cost function changes to C (q2) = xq2 where x > 6. How large must x be to cause firm 2 to not want to produce anything in equilibrium?Consider a Bertrand duopoly. Both firms produce an identical good at the same constant marginal cost of $0.80. Demand is given by Q=100−P. If the two firms charge the same price, they share market demand equally. The firms are located in Singapore, where the smallest currency denomination is $0.05. The firms thus can only choose prices in increments of $0.05. a) Suppose that both firms choose the same price, P. What is the profit of a firm as a function of P? b) Now suppose that one firm unilaterally deviates from the arrangement in (a) by charging a price $0.05 lower than P. What is that firm’s profit as a function of P? c) A Nash equilibrium occurs when no firm has an incentive to deviate by lowering its price. Using your answers in (a) and (b), set up an inequality that characterizes the Nash equilibrium. Then solve for the Nash equilibria in this game. (Hint: there are three equilibria)Suppose two companies, Apples and Dell, are a competing duopoly. If both companies charge the high price, they each earn $700 million in economic profit. If both companies charge the low price, they each earn $500 million in economic profit. If one company charges a high price and the other a low price, the company charging the higher price earns $450 million in economic profit and the company charging the lower price earns $800 million in economic profit. 1. What is the Nash equilibrium? Select all possible answers from the answer list. 2. Thinking back to your answer for the Nash equilibrium, can firms do better than the outcome you identified? Explain.
