Q:3 a,b and c
Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.
QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)
Two firms A and B produce a product jointly. The total value to the two firms from the joint venture is given by V = √iA + √iB where iA and iB are the firms’ respective investment levels. After the investment levels have been chosen, the firms divide V equally. a) Find the Nash equilibrium investment levels, and the payoffs for each firm. b) Suppose that A and B merge. Find the optimal investment levels and the payoffs for the merged firm. Do the firms benefit from the merger? Why?

Suppose that Firm 1 and Firm 2 are Stackelberg competitors in the market for popsicles. Firm 1 is the leader and Firm 2 is the follower. They have the same cost functions such that MC = 4. Market demand for popsicles is given by QD = 38 – 0.5P. Use this information to answer questions #1 and #2. 1. How many popsicles will Firm 1 produce in the SPE of this game? a. 91 6 b. q1 = 9 12 91 d. 91 с. 18 e. q1 = 36 %3D 2. If these firms were Cournot competitors, then compared to the outcome in #1 (Hint: No calculations necessary.) a. Firm 1 would earn more profit, and Firm 2 would earn less profit. b. Firm 1 would earn less profit, and firm 2 would earn more profit. c. Both firms would earn less profit. d. Both firms would earn more profit. The firms' profits would be the same, but industry-wide profit would be lower.
