Assume that two companies (A and B) are duopolists who produce identical products. Demand for the products is given by the following linear demand function:P = 200 - QA -  QBwhere QA and QB are the quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the sellingprice. Total cost functions for the two companies areTCA = 1500 + 55QA + Q2ATCB = 1200 + 20QB + 2Q2BAssume that the firms act independently as in the Cournot model (i.e., each firmassumes that the other firm’s output will not change).a. Determine the long-run equilibrium output and selling price for each firm.b. Determine Firm A, Firm B, and total industry profits at the equilibrium solutionfound in Part (a).
