Two firms commercialize two products that they both compete for. Each firm currently has 50 % of the market share. As the two products have been recently improved, both firms are planning to launch an advertising campaign. If neither firm advertises, their market share remains the same. If one of them launches a more powerful advertising campaign, the other loses a proportional percentage of its customers. Market research indicates that it is feasible to reach 50 % of potential customers by TV, 30 % through the press and 20 % on the radio. a. Develop the payoff matrix b. Indicate the most appropriate advertising strategy for both firms c. Determine the game value
Economics: Industrial Economics Question: In a market operating under quantity competition there are 2 firms (Cournot duopoly). The cost structure of firm 1 is given by C1(q1) = 675 + 60q1 + (q1)^2 and that of firm 2 is given by C2(q2) = 375 + 20 q2 + 5 (q2)^2. The inverse demand function is P = 300 - 2 Q1, where Q = q1 + q2.

(Dominant Firm with Fringe Competition) The structure of competition in the market for product A follows the dominant firm model with competitive fringes, where there is one company that is a dominant player and there are many fringes companies that compete competitively. The total demand for product A in this market is expressed by P = 1200 - Q, while the supply function of the competitive fringe is expressed by Sf: qf = P - 240. If the dominant firm is known to have marginal costs as follows: MCd = 240 + 0.25qd b. What is the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity for the dominant firm? Show your answer mathematically and graphically. c. In that equilibrium, what is the supply of competitive fringes? How many total products are there on the market? What is the market share of the dominant company and the fringe company? Show your answer mathematically and graphically Thank you Bartleby!

10Two firms produce differentiated products. The demand for each firm’s product is as follows:  Demand for Firm 1: q1 = 20 – 2p1 + p2  Demand for Firm 2: q2 = 20 – 2p2 + p1 Both firms have the same cost function: c(q) = 5q. Firms compete by simultaneously and independently choosing their prices and then supplying enough to meet the demand they receive. Please compute the Nash equilibrium prices for these firms.
