A homogenous product is produced by two rival firms. They have the same costs. The market demand is: P = 80 – Q P = 80 – Q1 -Q2 or The firms' total cost equations are: C1 = 50Q1 C2 = 50Q2 a.

Chapter 14: Oligopoly 1 23.Explain how the outcome of the Cournot model is achieved. 24.An essential assumption of the Cournot model is that each firm aims to maximize profits, based on the expectation that its own output decision will not have an effect on the decisions of its rivals. Critically evaluate this assumption. 25.In choosing the optimal output, the monopolist had only to consider its own costs and the demand curve that it faced. How do things change under duopoly and what does the Cournot model argue about how firms will behave? 26.What is the output level predicted by the Cournot model? Discuss this in terms of the different market models that have been surveyed so far. 27.Evaluate the following statement. The Cournot model basically assumes that the sole decision of each firm in a duopoly is one of determining how much to produce not which price to set. 28.What is price leadership?
2. During your next trip to the supermarket (or you may need to make a special trip) find two examples of different goods for which the market is oligopolistic. Make certain that you have chosen a â€˜goodâ€™ and not a brand name. Remember that several brand names compete in a market. List all the brand names (or at least four brands if there are dozens) and the parent company for each brand name (check the package carefully so that you donâ€™t confuse brand names with the actual producer.) For each good, what is your evidence that this market is oligopolistic? (number of producers; shelf space give to each one; identical pricing.)

I was hoping I could have some help on parts c-e of this problem I’m getting a little stuck on making sure my values are correct given this this is a cournot duopoly model.
Suppose that an oligopolistic is charging $21 per unit of output and selling 31 units each day. What is its daily total revenue? Also suppose that previously it had lowered its price from $21 to $19, rivals matched the price cut, and the firmâ€™s sales increased from 31 to 32 units. It also previously raised its price from $21 to $23, rivals ignored the price hike, and the firmâ€™s daily total revenue came in at $482. Which of the following is most logical to conclude? The firmâ€™s demand curve is (a) inelastic over the $21 to $23 price range, (b) elastic over the $19 to $21 price range, (c) a linear(straight) down sloping line, or (d) a curve with a kink in it?
Can you give us another Cinderella company successfully breaking into Oligopoly Jungle in the past and in the near future? Do you think the industry and exchange market of crypto currency (Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.) will be Oligopoly or Monopolistic competition in coming decade?
please answer both of the pictures and also please label which one is which. thank youuuu
Deviating from the collusive outcome Please check the image there is a graph Mays and McCovey are beer-brewing companies that operate in a duopoly (two-firm oligopoly). The daily marginal cost (MC) of producing a can of beer is constant and equals $0.60 per can. Assume that neither firm had any startup costs, so marginal cost equals average total cost (ATC) for each firm. Suppose that Mays and McCovey form a cartel, and the firms divide the output evenly. (Note: This is only for convenience; nothing in this model requires that the two companies must equally share the output.) Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and combined quantity of output if Mays and McCovey choose to work together. When they act as a profit-maximizing cartel, each company will produce cans $ and charge $ per can. Given this information, each firm earns a daily profit of $ , so the daily total industry…
10. please quikcly thanks ! Which of the following situations would create conducive environment for the practice of effective collusive oligopoly? A. Slow increase in the number of potential producers. B. Demand curve becomes less elastic for the collusive oligopoly's product. C. Rivals ignore price cuts but follow price increases. D. All firms avoid nonprice competition.
Somehow Im having trouble with parts a-c. Could I have help understanding and solving giving this is a Bertrand duopoly model.
