- COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibriumQuestions: A) How much less do each of these firms earn in the Nash equilibrium than if they jointly maximize profits? Please provide me with the correct answer, complete with a detailed explanation and calculations; otherwise, I will give multiple downvotes.Please avoid using ChatGPT and refrain from providing handwritten solutions; otherwise, I will definitely give a downvote. Also, be mindful of plagiarism. Answer completely and accurate answer. Rest assured, you will receive an upvote if the answer is accurate.Please solve D and E part only. Thankyou. Consider three firms, each with cost function C(qi)=4qi, currently competing Cournot. Market demand is P = 20 – Q. a. a. Find the quantities, price, and profits of each firm in equilibrium. b. Imagine firms1 and 2 merged to become one, so after the merger there are now two firms left in the market, firm 1&2 and firm 3. Assume there are no cost efficiencies expected and assume that the two firms play Cournot as before. Find the quantities, price, and profits of each firm in equilibrium c. Was it profitable for firms 1 and 2 to merge in the first place? d. Continuing with b., imagine that firms did not play Cournot after the merger, but rather that the merged firm 1&2 became a Stackelberg leader after the merger and firm 3 became the Stackelberg follower. If this were the case, find the quantities, price, and profits of each firm in equilibrium. e. Was it profitable for firms 1 and 2 to merge in the first place? Did price…
- Question 1 (40 points) Consider a homogeneous duopoly market where two firms compete in prices. Demand is given by D 8-2p, where p is price. Marginal cost of production is 2. a)lf the individual capacity of both firms is 2, is there an equilibrium in pure strategies? If so, what are the equilibrium prices? If not, provide a proof. b) Consider then that a third firm enters the market and that all three firms have a capacity of 2. Does an equilibrium in pure strategies exist? If so, what are the equilibrium prices? If not, why not? c) Does you answer under b) change if the firms' capacities are respectively equal to 1, 2 and 3?.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 resultsconsider a market with inverse demand P(Q) = 10 − Q and two firms with cost curves C1(q1) = 2q1 and C2(q2) = 2q2 (that is, they have the same marginal costs and no fixed costs). They compete by choosing quantities. Suppose that Firm 1 chooses quantity first and is able to credibly commit to this choice. Then firm 2 choose its quantity after observing firm 1’s quantity. In the SPNE of this game, what is the price faced by consumers?- p = 3- p = 4- p = 5- p = 6- p = 7
- For each of the following pairs of firms, explainwhich firm would be more likely to engage inadvertising.a. a family-owned farm or a family-ownedrestaurantb. a manufacturer of forklifts or a manufacturer of carsc. a company that invented a very comfortable razoror a company that invented a less comfortable razorJ 4 (Cournot Model) There are two firms (N=2), Airbus and Boeing, in the market. Each firm’s cost is MC=AC=20. The market demand is Q=100-(1/2) P. Both firms simultaneously select quantities. a) Find each firm’s reaction function. b) Find a pure Cournot Nash Equilibrium (NE). Show the market quantity and price (Q and P), each firm’s quantity and profit (qi and I, i=Airbus, Boeing), producer surplus (PS) and consumer surplus (CS) in the NE.Firms J and K produce compact-disc players and compete againstone another. Each firm can develop either an economy player (E)or a deluxe player (D). According to the best available marketresearch, the firms’ resulting profits are given by the accompanyingpayoff table.a. The firms make their decision independently, and each is seeking itsown maximum profit. Is it possible to make a confident predictionconcerning their actions and the outcome? Explain.Firm KE DE 30, 55 50, 60 Firm JD 40, 75 25, 50b. Suppose that firm J has a lead in development and so can move first.What action should J take, and what will be K’s response?c. What will be the outcome if firm K can move first?
- Three firms compete in the style of Cournot. All firms have a constant returns to scale technology: There are no fixed cost and each firm's marginal cost is constant. The market demand is given by Q(P) = 9 - P. Firm 1's marginal cost is MC1 = 1, firm 2's marginal cost is MC2 = 2. Let MC3 be the marginal cost of Firm 3. Which of the below is a necessary condition so that q > 0 for all three firms in a Nash equilibrium? a. MC3 < 1 b. MC3 < 4 c. MC3 < 3 d. MC3 > 1 e. MC3 < 2Let ci be the constant marginal and average cost for firm i (so that firms may have different marginal costs). Suppose demand is given by P=1-Q. Calculate the Nash equilibrium quantities assuming there are two firms in a Cournot market. Also compute market output, market price, firm profits, industry prof- its, consumer surplus, and total welfare. Represent the Nash equilibrium on a best-response function diagram. Show how a reduction in firm 1’s cost would change the equilibrium. Draw a representative isoprofit for firm 1.Show that that there exists an equilibrium in dominant strategies. (Hint: show that the strategy of producing one unit (Wk = 1 for all k) of wheat (strongly) dominates all of a profit-maximizing farmer’s other strategies by setting up the profit function, deriving the first order condition and solving it for Wk ).
