E1 Find Bertrand equilibrium and its outputs for the following asymmetric duopoly:q 1(p1, p2) = 16 - p1 + 0.5 p2, C1(q1) = 4q1;q 2(p1, p2) = 16 + 0.5 p1 - p2, C2(q2) = 6q2.(Note that the average and marginal costs are: AC1=MC1 = c1 = 4, AC2=MC2 = c2 = 6)

Suppose the iceberg lettuce industry is a Cournot duopoly with two firms: Xtra Leafy (a) and Yummy Farms (y). Xtra Leafy produces q units of output and Yummy Farms produces qy units of output. Aggregate market output is Q = x + y. The (inverse) market demand schedule is: p = 176 - 2Q Both firms have identical cost structures: MC = MC₁ = ATC₂ = ATC₁ = $12 Find Xtra Leafy's Cournot reaction function of the form: 9x = a + bay Where "a" is the reaction function's intercept and "b" is its slope. Note: Please review the formatting instructions above. If any value is negative, be sure to include its negative sign. a. a= b. b = Hint: One of your answers will be negative. Think about why.

2. Consider a standard Cournot triopoly model, i.e., inverse demand p(Q) = a - bQ, where Q = -19i and a, b>0, output cost function ci(qi) = cqi for i = 1, 2, 3, c> 0. qi (a) Find the symmetric equilibrium output (q*), price (p*), and profit levels (*). (b) Suppose that firms 1 and 3 merge horizontally, i.e., form a single larger firm, call it firm 1, and compete against firm 2 as in a Cournot duopoly. The newly formed firm 1 and firm 2 have identical cost functions, which are the ci(qi) discussed above, and face the same inverse market demand p(Q). Assume that firm 1 and firm 3 split equilibrium profits. Find for i = 1, 2, 3 and compare with part (a). Are firm 1 and firm 3 better-off after the merge?
The market demand in a homogeneous-product Cournot duopoly is P = 113 - 2.2Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2 (Firm 1 and Firm 2), and the costs functions for each firm are: TC1 = 25 + 16.3Q1 and TC2 = 29 + 27.7Q2. Instructions: Use no decimals. Use the average cost to calculate monopoly profits. Do not round if values are used to complete other calculations. Complete the following table.
