Consider a duopoly market with 2 firms. Aggregate demand in this market is given by Q = 500 – P, where P is the price on the market. Q is total market output, i.e., Q = QA + QB, where QA is the output by Firm A and QB is the output by Firm B. For both firms, marginal cost is given by MCi = 20, i=A,B. Assume the firms compete a la Cournot. a)Find the inverse demand in this market. Note that marginal revenue for both firms is given by MRA=500-2QA-QB, MRB=500-QA-2QB. b)Describe what a best-response curve is and how to find it. c)Derive the best-response function for each firm.
