Three firms with identical marginal cost of 30 compete in a market with inverse
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Consider a market with four firms. Firms A and B have a marginal cost of $7. Firm C has a marginal cost of $11. Firm D has a marginal cost of $5. What occurs if the firms compete in the Bertrand model? Group of answer choices None of the other answers are correct. Firm D will capture the entire market with a price of $6.99. All four firms will each have one quarter of the market with a price of $11. Firms A and B will each have half the market with a price of $7.00. Firm D will capture the entire market with a price of $5.00.In the Bertrand model, suppose that each firm has a marginal cost of £5 and that firm 1 sets a price of £5, which of the following a best-response for firm 2? Click all the correct answers. £5.00 £4.98 £4.99 £5.20 £5.01This pertains to the Cournot model except that a. Both firms maximize profit b. Each firm anticipates the price movement of the other c. There are only 2 firms in the industry d. Each firm takes the output as given
- 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.This is a Microeconomics problem. Two firms A and B operating in the same market must choose between a collude price and a cheat price. Answer the following questions in order. (a) Does Firm A have a dominant strategy? Explain your answer. (b) Does Firm B have a dominant strategy? Explain your answer. (c) Is there an equilibrium solution to the above game? (d) Is this equilibrium solution to the game the most "ideal" outcome for the players? Explain clearly why or why not.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?
- In the Cournot model, each firmʹs ________ shows the firmʹs optimal, profit-maximizing output as it depends on its rivalʹs output. a ) price leadership decision b ) dominant strategy c ) reaction d ) collusive responseWhich of the following statements is correct? a. In the Stackelberg model, the first mover’s ability to commit may afford it a big strategic advantage. b. In incomplete information games, another possible first-mover strategic advantage is the ability to signal. c. The incomplete-information model of entry deterrence has been used to explain why a rational firm might want to engage in predatory pricing. d. All of the above.LuLu Restaurant (LR) and Lucy Café (LC) have an implicit agreement to keep prices high so that both can earn $30,000 profit a year. Below is their complete payoff matrix in terms of thousands of dollars of profit per year and strategic actions a and b. LR’s payoffs are on the left and LC’s are on the right. However, in 2014 new owners/managers have taken over both LR and LC and have to decide whether to abide by the implicit agreement or to cheat. LC a b LR a 30, 30 25,32 b 32, 25 26, 26 Would this be a Nash equilibrium? Why or why not? Is this game a prisoner’s dilemma? Why or why not?

LC a b LR a 30, 30 25,32 b 32, 25 26, 26 What strategy will each firm choose and what will be its profit? Is this a Nash equilibrium? Why or why not? Would it be worth it for these new owners/managers to find reach an accommodation and go back to the old implicit agreement? Would this be a Nash equilibrium? Why or why not? Is this game a prisoner’s dilemma? Why or why not?Price competition between firms, from the firms’ perspective, can be similar to the prisoners’ dilemma. The best outcome for all firms would be for all to charge a high price. However, if the other firms charge a high price, any individual firm has incentives to charge a low price and steal the market. Additionally, if any other firm chooses a low price, each firm should charge a low price too so that it doesn’t get priced out of the market. Explain how price-matching (firms announcing a policy where they match the lowest price a customer can find or will honor a competitor’s coupon) can help firms avoid the Nash equilibrium in which they all charge a low price. Is it misleading for a firm to advertise price-matching as being beneficial to consumers? (Hint: What outcomes of the game are ruled out by the price-matching policy? How does ruling out these outcomes change the game and the decision the firms face?)Price competition between firms, from the firms’ perspective, can be similar to the prisoners’ dilemma.
