Consider a Bertrand duopoly. Market demand is P(Q)=41-3Q, and each firm faces a marginal cost of $4 per unit. How much is the sum of firms' total revenue in the Nash equilibrium?
Question Consider a market with an inverse demand Function p = 60 -4*Q. There are two firms, an incumbent and an entrant. There is a constant variable cost of 6 and a unit capacity cost of 6. In the first stage, the incumbent chooses capacity. In the second stage, the entrant decides whether or not to enter and all active firms choose quantities (where the entrant also has to simultaneously choose its capacity in the second stage, if it enters). a. For a capacity of 5 units, what is the best response function of the incumbent in the second period? b. What is the Cournot-Nash equilibrium of the second stage if the incumbent chose a capacity of 5 units in the first stage conditional on the entrant entering? c. For a capacity of an arbitrary k units, what is the best response function of the incumbent? d. What is the Cournot-Nash equilibrium of the second stage if the incumbent chose a capacity of k units in the first stage conditional on the entrant entering? e. Solve for the subgame…

Answer questions a, b, c
Firm 1 and firm 2 are Bertrand duopoloists. Firm 1 has a marginal cost of $6.00 per unit, and firm 2 has a marginal cost of $8.01 per unit. The demand for their product is p=23.00−Q, where Q is the total quantity demanded. How much does each firm sell in equilibrium? Assume that prices can only be set to the nearest cent, firms split the market if they set the same price, and there are no fixed costs. Firm 1 production:______ Firm 2 production:______ What are the profits for each firm in equilibrium? Firm 1 profit: $______ Firm 2 profit: $______

Suppose we have two identical firms A and B, selling identical products. They are the only firms in the market and compete by choosing quantities at the same time. The Market demand curve is given by P=477-Q. The only cost is a constant marginal cost of $16. Suppose Firm A produces a quantity of 66 and Firm B produces a quantity of 49. If Firm A decides to increase its quantity by 1 unit while Firm B continues to produce the same 49 units, what is the Marginal Revenue for Firm A from this extra unit? Enter a number only, no $ sign. Don't forget to include the negative sign if revenue decreases.
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?
Consider the following inverse demand function, p(Q) = 5 – 7Q, Q = q1 + 92, where q; denotes firm i's output, i = 1,2. Assume that the total cost of firm i is cq:/2, with e > 0. Firms choose quantities simultaneously and non cooperatively. The game described above is infinitely repeated. Firms use grim trigger strategies (infinite Nash reversion). Firms discount future profits at a rate r > 0. а) b) profit maximization) is sustainable as a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium (SPNE) of the infinitely repeated game. Compute the cartel profits.
