Suppose the demand for taxis in a town is p = 10 - Q. There are only two taxi companies, and each has a cost function TC = 2 + q (Hint: Q=q₁ + 92). What is the Cournot equilibrium quantity for each taxi firm? q1 q2=1.8 q1=q2=3 q1=q2=9 q1=q2=7.2
Consider two firms, referred to as firms 1 and 2, who compete in a market by choosing quantities produced and face the following inverse demand: P(Q) 10-20 Each firm has a marginal cost of production of $4.00. Suppose these firms collude by agreeing to produce quantities to maximize their joint profits. Firm 1 sticks to the agreement, but firm 2 does not. If firm 2 can secretly change its produced quantity, how much would it produce?
Consider a Cournot duopoly. The market demand function is P = 180 – 2(q₂ + q₂), where P is the market price, q₂ is the output produced by Firm 1 and q₂ is the output produced by Firm 2. The two firms have a constant marginal cost c = 30. What is the total output in this market? Round your answer to the nearest integer (e.g. 50)
Consider a market that is a Bertrand oligopoly with 5 firms in the market. Each of these firms produce an identical product and each have the same cost function of C(Q) = 80Q. The inverse market demand for this product is P = 2480 – 2Q. What is the equilibrium market price?

The demand function for a truckload of firewood in a small town with a college is Q = 200 - 1.5p for non-students and Q = 200 - p for students, where p is the price of firewood, in $/truckload. The (inverse) demand curve for the town as a whole has a kink at Q which equals?
Question 3:Suppose the inverse demand for a good is given by P = 50 – 4Q, where Q is the totalquantity supplied by all firms in the market. Suppose each firm in the market has a constantmarginal cost of 18.Q3 a) Assume the market consists of two firms that set their quantities simultaneously.Calculate the duopoly levels of production and the equilibrium price. Q3 b) Now assume firm 1 chooses its production level before firm 2 does. What will be theequilibrium quantities, price and profits in this case?Q3 c) Now instead suppose that the two firms compete over prices rather than quantities.What will be the equilibrium price and profits of firms 1 and 2 in this case? Finally, if firm 1manages to lower its marginal cost to 14, what will be the new equilibrium price, quantitiesand profits?
Consider a Leader-Follower duopoly, the firms face an (inverse) demand function: Pb = 530 - 17 Qb.The marginal cost for firm 1 (The Leader) is given by mc1 = 12 Q.The marginal cost for firm 2 (The Follower) is given by mc2 = 9 Q.

Suppose Giocattolo of Italy and American Toy Company of the United States are the only two firms producing toys for sale in the U.S. market. Each firm realizes constant long-term costs so that the average total cost (ATC) equals the marginal cost (MC) at each level of output. Thus, MCo = ATCO is the long-term market supply schedule for toys. Suppose Giocattolo and American Toy Company operate as competitors, and the cost schedules of each company are MCo = ATCO = $10. On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to identify the competitive market equilibrium. Then, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to identify consumer surplus in this case. Note: Select and drag the point from the palette to the graph. Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. Then select and drag the shaded region from the palette to the graph. To resize the shaded region, select one of the points and move to the desired position. ? PRICE (Dollars per toy) 20 18 16 14 10 00 6 4 2 0…
Suppose the inverse market demand for manufactures is P(Q) = A – Q, where P and Q denote price and total goods produced and the parameter A denotes the size of the domestic market. Suppose any firm has a cost function, c(q) = cq, where A > c. Suppose there are two firm in the market which produce q1 and q2, where Q = q1 + q 2 a. Solve for the Cournot equilibrium levels of output (Q*), price (P*) and markups. b. What is the impact of an increase in market size, A, on Q*, P* and markups when there are two firms? Provide some intuition for these predictions. c.…
