Consider a Cournot duopoly with a demand function of  p=10-Q(where Q=q1+q2) and a constant marginal cost of c>0.   a)    Find the two firms’ best-response functions. b)    Find the Nash equilibrium output. c)    What happens to the equilibrium market price as c increases (assuming that c remains below 10)? d)    What happens to the equilibrium market price if c increases above 10?
How would the Cournot equilibrium change in the airline example if​ American's marginal cost were $90 and​ United's were ​$180​? The demand the duopoly​ quantity-setting firms face is Q=339−p with an inverse demand function of  p=339−1qA −1qU  where qA is the quantity produced by American and qU is the quantity produced by United. The​ Cournot-Nash equilibrium occurs where qA equals ? enter your response here  and qU equals? enter your response here. (enter numeric responses using​ integers) ​​Furthermore, the equilibrium occurs at a price of ?  ​ (round your answer to the nearest​ penny)
