- Two firms compete in selling identical widgets. They choose their output levels Q1 and Q2 simultaneously and face the demand curve P = 30 - Q where Q = Q1 + Q2. Until recently, both firms had zero marginal costs. Recent environmental regulations have increased Firm 2’s marginal cost to $15. Firm 1’s marginal cost remains constant at zero. TRUE-FALSE: Is the following statement true of false? ”As a result, the market price will rise to the monopoly level.” Solve for the Cournot equilibrium and write a convincing explanation of your answer.A community's demand for monthly subscription to a streaming music service is shown by the following table. Assume that there are only two firms serving this market (Firm A and Firm B), each firm offers the same quality of service and music selection, and that each firm’s marginal cost is constant and equal to 0 (zero). (please refer to table provided) If this market were highly competitive instead of a duopoly, the quantity of streaming movie subscriptions purchased each month would be ______ If the two firms agreed to each supply one half of the quantity a monopoly would supply, the contract would specify that each firm would supply ____Two firms compete by choosing price. Their demand functions are: Q1 = 20 -P1 +P2 and Q2 = 20 - P1 + P2 where P1 and P2 are the prices charged by each firm, respectively, and Q1 and Q2 are the resulting demands. Note that the demand for each good depends only on the difference in prices; if the two firms colluded and set the same price, they could make that price as high as they wanted and earn infinite profits. Marginal costs are zero.a. Suppose the two firms set their prices at the same time. Find the resulting Nash equilibrium. What price will each firm charge, how much will it sell, and what will its profit be? (Hint: Maximize the profit of each firm with respect to its price.) {15 Marks}b. Suppose Firm 1 sets its price first and then Firm 2 sets its price. What price will each firm charge, how much will it sell, and what will its profit be? {10 Marks}c. Suppose you are one of these firms and that there are three ways you could play the game: (i) Both firms set price at the same…
- Assume that there are two identical firms serving a market in which the inverse demandfunction is given byP =100-2Q. The marginal costs of each firm are $10 per unit.Calculate the Cournot equilibrium outputs for each firm, the product price, and the profitsof each firm.Consider a Cournot duopoly. The market demand function is P = 180 – 2(q₂ + q₂), where P is the market price, q₂ is the output produced by Firm 1 and q₂ is the output produced by Firm 2. The two firms have a constant marginal cost c = 30. What is the total output in this market? Round your answer to the nearest integer (e.g. 50)The market demand curve faced by Stackelerg duopolies is: Qd = 12,000 - 5P where Qd is the market quantity demanded and P is the commodity's price in dollars. Firm A's marginal cost is: MCa = 0.08qa where MCa is Firm A's marginal cost in dollars and qa is the quantity of output produced by Firm A. Firm B's marginal cost equation is: MCb = 0.1qb where MCb is Firm B's marginal cost in dollars and qb is the quantity of output produced by Firm B. Because of Firm A's lower marginal cost, Firm B has conceded the power to move first to Firm A. a. Given Firm B will move second, what is the equation for Firm B's reaction function with qb expressed as a function of qa? b. Given Firm A can move first, what quantity of output will Firm A produce? c. What quantity of output will firm B produce? What price will be established for the commodity?
- Consider a market for crude oil production. There are two firms in the market. The marginal cost of firm 1 is 20, while that of firm 2 is 20. The marginal cost is assumed to be constant. The inverse demand for crude oil is P(Q)=200-Q, where Q is the total production in the market. These two firms are engaging in Cournot competition. Find the production quantity of firm 1 in Nash equilibrium. If necessary, round off two decimal places and answer up to one decimal place.Consider a Cournot Oligopoly. One firm has costs C1(Q1) = 12Q1 while the other firm’s cost function is C2(Q2) = 10Q2. The demand for both firms’ products Q=Q1 +Q2 isQD(P)=200−2P. (a) Determine the equilibrium price P, the market shares s1, s2, and the quantities Q1, Q2 produced by both firms. (b) Suppose more firms with the lower cost technology, i.e., with cost function Ci(Qi) = 10Qi enter the market. How many firms with this technology must be in the market such that firm 1’s profit becomes negative. In other words, suppose there is one firm with the high costs, and n firms with the low costs. At what level n will profits of the high-cost firm be negative?There are two firms A and B. Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qA and qB. Inverse demand is P(qA + qB) = 18 − qA − qB and costs are C(q) = 3 ∗ q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s ∗ qB from the government.) (d) Solve for the equilibrium outputs (q∗A, q∗b).(e) Solve for the equilibrium price.(f) Solve for firm B profits.
- Boulder has several ski and snowboard retailers that sell similar brands. Prices across these retails are relatively stable during preseason (ski/snowboard season) and midseason, but become volatile postseason. For the past few years, when one retailer slashed prices (especially postseason), other retailers followed suit. All retailers behave as oligopolists. Suppose that retailer A faces an inverse demand of p = 1,500 – 1.5Q, when the other retailers match retailer A’s price changes, and p=1200 – 0.7Q, when the other retailers don't match retailer A’s price changes. Suppose also that retailer A's cost function is C(Q) = 20,000 + 10Q + 0.8Q2. Question: Under these conditions, what is the most profit retailer A can make?Two firms Intel and AMD in the CPU market have combined demand given by Q = 100 - P. Their total costs are given by TC Intel = 4 Q Intel + 2 Q Intel^2 and TC AMD = 4 Q AMD + 2 Q AMD^2. If they successfully collude, the market price will be??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)
