Firm A with total cost function CA = 60qA and Firm B with total cost function CB = 80qB are the only suppliers of a product that has market demand P = 280 – Q. Under Cournot Duopoly the equilibrium price equal to
advanced microeconomics, imperfect competition
A duopoly in which two identical firms are engaged in Bertrand competition will not distort prices from their competitive levels.
Consider an industry that consists of 4 firms, all competing over the same market, given by the following demand equation: P=80-3Q All firms have the same Total Cost Function, given by: TC₁=10q,+2q Suppose the firms decide to collude and voluntarily restrict output and raise price, in order to increase profits. a) What price will be charged by the members of the cartel? Assume the head of the cartel is fair and distributes output q, equally among the 4 firms (since they have identical costs). b)What is the output of each individual firm? c) What is each individual firm's profit? We know that there is a built-in incentive for cartel members to cheat on the cartel. If, as a result, the cartel breaks down: d) What price will be charged in the market? e) Assuming each firm captures an equal share of the market, what now is each firm's output, q? f) What now is individual firm profit? g) Illustrate your answer
Consider a duopoly in which the marginal cost of every firm is $2. The market demand is: Q = 14 - P, where Q = q1 + q2, and P denotes the price per unit. Calculate the total output, price and production quotas (assuming each firm has 50% of the market) if the firms maximize the joint profits. Total output Q = Price P = $ Production quotas q1 = , q2 =
Calculate every step please!!!
Assume firms' marginal and average costs are constant and equal to c and that inverse market demand is given by P = a - bQ where a, b > 0. Suppose now the market is served by 2 firms (one leader, and one follower) that choose quantities for their identical products. Calculate: i. ii. iii. iv. The Nash equilibrium quantities for the Stackelberg duopolists Market output Market price Firm profit
Consider a Bertrand duopoly where market demand is P(Q)=5-9Q. Each firm faces a marginal cost $2 and no fixed cost. How much is the dead weight loss in a Nash equilibrium?
Consider a duopoly market with 2 firms. Aggregate demand in this market is given by Q = 500 – P, where P is the price on the market. Q is total market output, i.e., Q = QA + QB, where QA is the output by Firm A and QB is the output by Firm B. For both firms, marginal cost is given by MCi = 20, i=A,B. Assume the firms compete a la Cournot. 1. What are the equilibrium quantities? 2. What is the total quantity supplied on this market? 3. What is the equilibrium price in this market?
The market demand in a homogeneous-product Cournot duopoly is P = 100 - 2Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2 (Firm 1 and Firm 2), and the costs functions for each firms are: TC1 = 12Q1 and TC2 = 20Q2. Instructions: Use no decimals. Use the average cost to calculate monopoly profits. Do not round if values are used to complete other calculations. Complete the following table. Q1 Q2 P Profits F1 Profits F2 F1 cheats w/ QDC, F2 colludes F1 cheats w/ QBRF, F2 2 colludes
Two firms are engaged in Cournot (simultaneous quantity) competition. Market-level inverse demand is given by P = 160 − 4Q Firm 1 has constant marginal costs of MC1 = 8, while Firm 2 has constant marginal costs of MC2 = 24. 1) Does there exist a low enough positive marginal cost for firm 1 such that firm 1 acts like a monopoly in this market, if so what is the MC if not why?
