- Two firms produce a homogeneous product. Let p denote the product’s price. The output levelof firm 1 is denoted by q1, and the output level of firm 2 by q2. The aggregate industry output isdenoted by Q, Q = q1 + q2. The aggregate industry demand curve for this product is given byp = 70 − Q.Assume that the unit cost of firm 1 is c1 = 10 and the unit cost of firm 2 is c2 = 20.a. Suppose the firms move simultaneously and compete on quantities. Derive the firms’ bestresponse functions, and find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. What are the profits of thefirms?b. Suppose the firms move sequentially with firm 1 setting its level of output before firm 2.Find the Stackelberg-Cournot equilibrium. What are the profits of firm 1 and firm 2?c. Now assume that firm 2 sets its level of output before firm 1. Find the Stackelberg-Cournotequilibrium. What are the profits of firm 1 and firm 2? Is there a difference in your findingsbetween part b and c? Explain why.Suppose the Boston to Philadelphia airline route is serviced by three airlines – US Airways (Firm A) and JetBlue (Firm B) and Continental (Firm C). The demand for airline travel between these two cities is Q = 150 – p. The cost function is C(Q) = 30Q. The cost function is the same for all three airlines. Assume that the three airlines are making investments in airline capacity. In other words, they are simultaneously choosing quantity. (Cournot Competition) Derive US Airways’ residual demand function given JetBlue’s output, qB, and Continental’s output, qC. What is the Marginal Revenue for US Airways? Derive US Airways reaction function Derive the market equilibrium quantity, Q*, price, p*, and Profit.Exercise 6.8. Two companies with cost functions C1 (q1 )=5q1 and C2 (q2)= 0.5 q2 ² supply the to the same market. If the inverse market demand function is given by P = 100 - 0,5Q , where Q = q₁ + q₂ , find a) The production level of each firm, the price and the profits if the companies compete according to the Cournot model. (b) The level of production of each undertaking, the price and the profits if the undertakings agree to jointly maximise their profits. Show the results with the help of graphs.
- please solve the question completely. Suppose an industry consists of two firms that compete in prices. Each firm produces one product. The demand for each product is as follows: q1 = 25 - 5p1 + 2p2 q2 = 25 - 5p2 + 2p1 The cost functions are C(qi) = 2 + qi for i = 1; 2. (a) Are the products produced by these firms homogenous or differentiated? (b) Find the best response function for each rm. (c) How does the price firm 1 sets change with its belief about the price of its competitor\'s product? (d) What are the Nash equilibrium prices? (e) What is the percentage markup of price over marginal cost here (this is called the Lerner index)? Do the firms have market power? Why does the Bertrand paradox of zero variable duopoly profits apply here? (f) Suppose the firms merged. What is the new price of products 1 and 2? (g) Explain intuitively why the price is higher under monopoly than under Bertrand duopoly? (h) Are total monopoly profits higher or lower than the sum of Bertrand duopoly…Consider a homogeneous good industry (such as an agricultural product) with just two firms and a total market demand Q = 400−P, so the inverse demand is P = 400 − Q. Suppose both firms have a constant marginal cost equal to $100 per unit of output and a fixed cost equal to $10,000. Suppose that the firms compete by simultaneously setting price, not simultaneously setting output. That is, suppose we consider the Bertrand model instead of the Cournot. Show that the two firms must earn lower profits. Hint: Create a two-by-two game using two different prices for each firm. One price should be the Cournot price (the Cournot is price of the good when firms produce the Cournot output you found above, which is 100 and 100, so the price is P = 400 − 100 − 100 = 200). The second price should be under 200 and over 150. Then show that the Nash equilibrium of this game is the lower of the two prices. When calculating profits, assume that each firm has equal sales (one half of demand) if they charge…Consider a market for energy drinks consisting of only one firm. The firm has a linear cost function: C(q)=4q, where q represents quantity produced by the firm. The market inverse demand function is given byr P(Q)=24-2Q, where Q represents total industry output. Based on the given information answer the following. a. Now suppose a second firm enters the market. The second firm has an identical cost function. What will be the Cournot equilibrium output for each firm? b. Whay is the Stackelberg equilibrium output for each firm of firm 2 enters second? How much profit will each firm make in yhe Cournot game? How much in Stackelberg? c. Which type of market do consumers prefer: monopoly, Cournot duopoly or Stackelberg duopoly?
- Suppose that firms A and B have the same product in the same market, where Qd = Qa + Qb = 300 - 2p is demand And the firms have a simple cost curves of TCa = 5Qa and TCb = 10Qb Find Cournot Equilibrium & Find the Stackelberg equilibrium if A is the leader. Thanks!An industry contains two firms producing homogenous goods, one whose costfunction is C(Q1) = 30Q1 and another whose cost function is C(Q2) = 30Q2. The demandfunction for the market is given by:P = 65 - QT where QT = Q1 + Q2. a. Assuming firms are choosing quantities according to the Cournot model, what iseach firm’s reaction function?b. Graph each firm’s reaction curve (on same graph).c. How much does each firm produce in the Nash equilibrium of Cournot's model?Two firms compete in selling homogeneous goods. They choose their output levels q1 and q2 simultaneously and face demand curve P=80-6Q, where Q=q1+q2. The total cost function of firm 1 is C1=8q1 and the total cost function of firm 2 is C2=32q2+2/3. a) Find and draw the reaction curves of the two firms. b) Compute equilibrium quantities, price and profits. Suppose now that firm 2, thanks to a technological innovation, becomes more efficient. The new total cost function of firm 2 is C2= 8q2 c) Compute the new equilibrium quantities, price and profits.
- Reference the following information about the market demand function for questions 1 to 15. These questions are on different types of market structures – monopoly, perfect competition, Cournot oligopoly market, and the Stackelberg oligopoly market. The market demand function is given the following equation: P = 2000 – Q where Q is the industry’s output level. Suppose initially this market is served by a single firm. Let the total cost function of this firm be given the function C(Q) = 200Q. The firm’s marginal cost of production (MC) is equal to the firm’s average cost (AC): MC = AC = 200. What is the difference in the industry output levels produced by the perfectly competitive industry (Qc) and the monopoly (Qm) industry? Group of answer choices Qc - Qm = 900 units Qc - Qm = 1800 units Qc - Qm = - 900 units Qc - Qm = 600 unitsQ. Three firms operate in a market with a Demand function p = 169 - 2Q. All three firms have identical Cost functions: TC = 1200 - 95q + 2q2.i) Given that the firms are able to collude, what is the equilibrium market price and output?ii) If all of the firms cheat and each increases output by two units, what would be the new equilibrium price and the impact on an individual firm’s profits?Assume the inverse demand function in a market is given by P ( Q ) = 500 − Q where Q is the total industry output, that is the sum of the output of all firms in the market. There are two firms (indexed by i = 1,2) who both have a cost of producing the good given by c ( q i ) = 10 ∗ q i The two firms are competing in the Cournot manner, that is they choose their quantities simultaneously in order to maximize profits. What is the best response of firm 1 if firm 2 chooses an output level of 200? (input a whole number:) The best response function of firm 1 with respect to firm 2's quantity choice takes the form: q 1 ( q 2 ) = w ∗ ( x − y ∗ q 2 − z ) where (w,x,y,z) are parameters of the problem. Solve for this best response function and provide the product (w*x*y*z) in the next blank: What is the Nash Equilibrium quantity produced by firm 1? (round to the nearest whole number)
