PA #1: Africa Apricots & The Apricot ValleyTwo apricot orchards African Apricots and The Apricot Valley sell seasonal apricots to the market. Assume that those apricots are both grown using the same organic practices in the neighboring orchards and do not differ in taste, size, color, or any other characteristics.The market demand is described by the following function: P=AB-Q. P is the price given per one bushel of apricots (a variable), Q is the quantity demanded at each price (a variable). Assume that both orchards have marginal costs that equal C $/bushel. A=1, B=9, and C=3 are the integer numbers given to you. 1.1. Write down the Demand function substituting A, B, and C with the given integer numbers. 1.2. Utilize the Cournot Model and find the Cournot-Nash Equilibrium for this oligopoly market. Demonstrate your algebraic solution. 1.3.

(Table: Demand Schedule for Gadgets) Examine the table Demand Schedule for Gadgets.
The market for gadgets consists of two producers, Margaret and Ray, who split the
production of output equally. Each firm can produce gadgets at a marginal cost and fixed
cost of $0. The table shows the market demand schedule for gadgets. If these two
producers formed a cartel and acted to maximize total industry profits, each firm's output
would be _____and each firm's profit would be
