QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)

Table 3. This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide how much output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A. Profit for Firm B). Firm A Q=5 Q=6 Firm B Q=5 (24, 24) (30, 10) Q=6 (10,30) (19, 19) Refer to Table 3. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce Select one: O a. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. b. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. c. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. d. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.
MCQ 27 Consider the following game in which two firms (OLD and NEW) are considering whether or not to advertise to increase sales. Each firm knows that the impact on profits depends on what the other firm chooses to do. The possible profit outcomes of the game are shown below, with OLD's profits shown as the first number in each pair and NEW's profits shown as the second number: NEW Advertise Not Advertise Advertise 10, 5 15, 1 OLD Not Advertise 5, 8 20, 3 Assuming the firms aim to earn as much profit as possible, which of the following is TRUE for the game? A I do not want to answer this question. OLD's dominant strategy is to advertise C OLD's dominant strategy is not to advertise NEW's dominant strategy is not to advertise E NEW's dominant strategy is to advertise F the dominant strategy for both OLD and NEW is to advertise
8)Consider a market in which 5 companies operate, whose marginal and average costs are equal to c. The demand function is given by P(Q)= 1-Q, where P is the price and Q indicates the total quantity. Assume that companies compete with Cournot in choosing production levels. Assume that the game is repeated an infinite number of periods, that companies adopt trigger strategies and that the punishment is represented by Nash Reversion. 1)What is the value of the discount factor that allows companies to sustain tacit collusion in a balanced situation? 2) Assume now that companies are able to discover the defection of a rival company with K periods of delay. What do you think the effect on the sustainability of collusion can be? 3) Do you think that in this market collusion would be more easily sustainable if the companies compete with Bertrand? 4) If in a price-competitive market (Bertrand) N symmetrical companies operate, what would be the critical value of the discount factor that would…

Starbucks and Krispy Kreme are trying to decide whether or not to open a shop in the new Mall of Africa. They both prefer if the other firm opens a shop because they can draw bigger crowds but neither wants to be the only American-branded coffee shop in the Mall.
