Price agreement Break the agreement Perlis Price agreement (3,2) A (-1,3) B Break the (4,-1) C (0,0) agreement Figure 12 Payoff matrix for two firms in oligopoly Two firms, Perlis and Dizz, produce washing powder in a market characterised by oligopoly. Illegally, the firms have agreed to collude so that they charge broadly the same price for their product. Each firm could increase its own share of the market and profit by breaking the agreement, but if they both do this they would both be worse off. This situation may be characterised as a game and Figure 12 shows the payoff matrix for this game. Figure 12 also labels each cell in the payoff matrix with a letter, A, B, C or D. Based on the information in the payoff matrix, decide which cells, if any, correspond to a Nash equilibrium. Select one answer. Select one: O A There is no Nash equilibrium O A and D O D

Suppose a hospital is planning about how many patients to treat over the next two years. One key factor the hospital needs to consider in its planning is that hospitals that see many patients in one year have lower costs of care in subsequent years. Let p be the price of hospital care, let 91 be the number of patients the hospital treats in year one, let q2 be the number of patients the hospital treats in year two, and let c₁ and c₂ be the hospital's per-patient cost in years one and two. The hospital's profits over the two year period are: II = (pic₁)91 + (p2 - c2)92 The hospital takes p1 and p2 as fixed and they choose q1 and q2 to maximize profits, II. (1) 1. Suppose, as a warm up exercise, that there is no learning by doing, and that the unit cost functions are as follows: c₁ = 21 and c2 = 92. Is the cost of caring for patients increasing or decreasing in the number of patients seen? Derive the supply function in periods one and two for the hospital. [Hint: Substitute the unit cost…
