Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 1A) Two cournot competitors face
inverse demand P = 50 - Q. Where, Q = q1+q2, is
the total output of firms 1 and 2. What are the
equilibrium output levels for q1 and q2, If firm 1
marginal cost is 1, and firm 2's marginal cost is 12?
QUESTION 1B. Continuing with the inverse
demand, P = 50 - Q, if each firm has a marginal
cost of 0, what is the difference between the
equilibrium price under Cournot competition and
under Bertrand competition?

a.
The Cournot price is higher than the
Bertrand price by 50.
The Cournot price is lower than the
Bertrand price by 25.
