All question are with regards to the following set up. There are two firms A and B. Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities q4 and qB. Inverse demand is P(9A + 9B) = 18 - 9A-9B and costs are C(q) = 3 * q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages n a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s* qB from the government.) You must show your work at each step, unless the questions is followed by "No work required."
