Calculation Question 5 Suppose a market demand is given by Q = 300 – 4p, where p represents the product price and Q represents the output level. The market consists of two firms with identical costs given by C – 20 + 5q, where q represents the output level of a firm. Both firms produce an identical product and do not collude with one another. a) Derive the reaction functions of each firm. b) What is the Nash equilibrium output level for each firm? Show your calculation. c) What is the price charged by each firm for the product? Show your calculation. d) Calculate the profit (if any) obtained by each firm and for the industry as a whole.
Time remaining: 00:09:51 Economics The market demand function is Q=10,000-1,000p. Each firm has a marginal cost of m=$0.16. Firm 1, the leader, acts before Firm 2, the follower. Solve for the Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities, prices, and profits. Compare your solution to the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities are: q1=___________ units and q2=____________units The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium price is: p=$_____________ Profits for the firms are profit1=$_______________ and profit2=$_______________ The Cournot-Nash equilibrium quantities are: q1=______________units and q2=______________units The Cournot-Nash equilibrium price is: p=$______________ Profits for the firms are profit1=$_____________ and profit2=$_______________

12. Consider a duopoly market. Two firms are selling identical products and all costs are assumed to be zero for simplicity. Market demand schedule is given in the following table. Note that firms always choose an integer value for the quantity of production. Quantity Price Total Profit 3 $12 4 11 5 8 6 6. 7 4 8 2 1 10 a. Fill in the column of total profit.
4. Two Stackelberg-competitors with no costs face the common market demand curve P=30−Q, where Q is the combined output of both firms. Firm 1, the leader, picks its output first. Then Firm 2, the follower, picks its output. How much output does Firm 2 produce in their sequential-move game? a) 3 units. b) 15 units. c) 15/2 units. d) 30 units.

6. Two identical firms that have the cost function C(q) = 4qj, where j = {1,2} are competing in a homogenous good market. The two firms make simultaneous decisions on price, and they face industry demand Q(P) = 20-p. What is the Bertrand-Nash equilibrium profit of each firm? Hints for (b) and (c): Solve for each firm j's output (q;) and use the fact that Ij = p;qj - Cj(qj). b. Now, suppose the two firms are deciding whether to set a collusive market price of $6 (this means that they would both charge $6). Solve for their profits under this pricing scheme. a. C. If one of the firms decides to deviate from the collusive scheme and undercut its rival's price by $1, how much profit would it earn?
3. Demand for a good produced by a duopoly is given by P = 100 - Q. Both firms have constant marginal costs, MC = 20 and zero fixed costs. Firms can choose to maximize profit or revenue. Suppose firm 1 choose to maximise profit and firm 2 choose to maximise revenue. Determine the equilibrium price and quantity of each firm.
Question 4 [The soft drink industry is dominated by TCCC and PSC. The market is worth $6 billion. Each firm can decide whether to advertise, but advertising costs $1 billion to any firm undertaking it. Moreover, advertising will create only negligible new demand as the market is already saturated. So, for the purpose of this question, assume that the market remains at $6 billion regardless of advertising. If one firm advertises and the other does not, then the former captures the whole market. If both firms advertise, then TCCC captures 60% of the market and PSC captures 40% of the market, but the advertising must be paid for. If neither firm advertises, then the market is again split 60:40, with 60% going to TCCC and 40% to PSC.] a) [Draw the payoff matrix for this game where each player's payoff is equal to the value of market it captures less the cost of advertisement] Pay-offs are calculated correctly and presented well in a tabular format. b) [Do any of the firms have dominant…
8. 2 firms are engaged in Stackelberg competition. Firm 1 faces the following cost curve Ci(Q1) 3Q+4 and firm 2 faces the following cost curve. C₂(2₂) = 22 +4. Market demand is given by D(P) = 60-p. Find the Nash Equilibrium of the game. =
Question 3 The inverse market demand for fax paper is given by P=100-Q. There are two firms who produce fax paper. Firm 1 has al cost of production of C₁= 15*Q₁ and firm 2 has a cost of production of C₂=20*Q₂. 1) Suppose firm 1 and firm 2 compute simultaneously in quantities. What are the Cournot quantities and prices? What are the profits of firm 1 and 2? 2) Suppose firm 1 and firm 2 compete simultaneously in prices. What are the Bertrand quantities and prices? What are the profits of firm 1 and 2? 3) Suppose that firm play a Stackelberg game. First firm 1 sets the quantity in t=1, then, knowing which quantity firm 1 has set, firm 2 chooses the quantity in t=2. What are the Stackelberg quantities and prices? What are the profits od firm 1 and 2? Compared to part a) which firm benefits and which firm loses?
Consider an industry with two firms, each of which has a constant marginal cost of 20. The inverse demand facing this industry is P(Y) = 220 −Y, where Y = y1 + y2 is the total output. 1. What is the competitive level of output? (Recall: price equals marginal cost at the competitive equilibrium.) 2. What is the output of each firm in the Cournot equilibrium? 3. What is the output of each firm in the Stackelberg equilibrium when firm 1 is the follower and firm 2 is the leader?
