Question

For complementary goods in an economics market oligopoly

 

q1(p) = a−2p1p2

q2(p) = ap1−2p2

which gives profit functions of 

= p1 * (a - 2p1 - p2) – k * q1

= p2 * (a - p1 - 2p2) – k * q2

MC = K and FC = 0 .

 

Show step by step how derive the best response function of each firm. Thus, write pR1(p2) as a function of p2, and similarly pR2(p1) as a function of p1
