- 1. The market (inverse) demand function for a homogeneous good is P(Q) = 10 - Q. There are two firms: firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of 2 for producing each unit of the good, and firm 2 has a constant marginal cost of 1. The two firms compete by setting their quantities of production, and the price of the good is determined by the market demand function given the total quantity. a. Calculate the Nash equilibrium in this game and the corresponding market price when firms simultaneously choose quantities. b. Now suppose firml moves earlier than firm 2 and firm 2 observes firm 1 quantity choice before choosing its quantity find optimal choices of firm 1 and firm 2.Consider a market for crude oil production. There are two firms in the market. The marginal cost of firm 1 is 20, while that of firm 2 is 20. The marginal cost is assumed to be constant. The inverse demand for crude oil is P(Q)=200-Q, where Q is the total production in the market. These two firms are engaging in Cournot competition. Find the production quantity of firm 1 in Nash equilibrium. If necessary, round off two decimal places and answer up to one decimal place.The demand for a product is Q = a - P/2. If there are 4 firms in an industry and marginal cost is MC = 20, then the price in Nash equilibrium is P = 56. What is a?
- Consider two firms that produce the same good and competesetting quantities. The firms face a linear demand curve given by P(Q) =1 − Q, where the Q is the total quantity offered by the firms. The costfunction for each of the firms is c(qi) = cqi, where 0 < c < 1 and qiis the quantity offered by the firm i = 1, 2. Find the Nash equilibriumoutput choices of the firms, as well as the total output and the price, andcalculate the output and the welfare loss compared to the competitiveoutcome. How would the answer change if the firms compete settingprices? What can we conclude about the relationship between competitionand the number of firms?QUESTION 10 Suppose there are two firms that produce an identical product. The demand curve for the product is given by P = 62 - Q where Q is the total quantity produced by the two firms. Both firms choose their individual quantities qı20 and q22 0 simultaneously. Each firm has a marginal cost of 37. What is the market price when both firms produce the quantities in the unique Nash equilibrium? Give your answer as a number to two decimal places.I NEED HELP WITH A AND B
- Question 1: Suppose Southwest (S) and JetBlue (J) choose a number of flights, qs and qj respectively, from Chicago to New York. They both have the same constant marginal cost of 12. For Q = qs + qj, the market demand function for flights is p = 60 – 2Q (1) Suppose the airlines choose quantity simultaneously. Find the Cournot Nash Equilibrium quantities. (2) Suppose the airlines choose price simultaneously. Find the Bertrand Nash Equilibrium. (3) Suppose Southwest and JetBlue collude in the quantities they choose to obtain monopoly profits. Assuming they split the market evenly, what quantity does each firm choose? (4) Suppose Southwest and JetBlue agree in principle to the collusion in Part (4), but Southwest decides to cheat. What quantity will Southwest choose?Two countries produce oil. The per unit production cost of Country 1 is C1 = $2 and of country 2 it is C2 = $4. The total demand for oil is Q = 40-p where p is the market price of a unit of oil. Each country can only produce either 5 units, 10 units or 15 units. The total production of the two countries in a Nash equilibrium is 10 15 20 25 30Two firms, A and B, sell the same good X in a market with total demand Q = 100 – P. The two firms compete on quantities and decides how much to produce simultaneously. Firm A cost function is C(qA) = 40qA. Firm B cost function is C(qB) = 60qB. 1. Find the best reply functions of both firms and represent them in a graph. 2. Find the quantity produced by each firm in a Nash equilibrium. 3. Find the firms and consumers surplus. 4. Compare the surplus of firms found above with the surplus arising when both firm cooperate to sustain a monopoly outcome. 5. Assume now that A and B compete as in a Stackelberg model. A chooses first and B chooses after observing the choice of A. Find equilibrium quantities produced by each firm and the market equilibrium price.
- Suppose that there are two firms operating in the market of laptops, the first firm supplies quantity qi and the second firm supplies q2. The inverse demand function for laptops is P(q1 +q2)=2,000-2(q₁ +q2). The marginal costs are constant and equal to $400. a. b. c. Find the Cournot equilibrium outputs and price. Find the Bertrand equilibrium outputs and price. Suppose that the first firm is the leader choosing the output first, and the second firm is the follower choosing the output after observing the firm firm's choice. Find the new equilibrium output and price and compare them with those in parts a and b. Which of the equilibria is socially preferable?Consider two firms that produce the same good and compete setting quantities. The firms face a linear demand curve given by P (Q) = 1 − Q, where the Q is the total quantity offered by the firms. The cost function for each of the firms is c(qi) = cqi, where 0 < c < 1 and qi is the quantity offered by the firm i = 1,2. Find the Nash equilibrium output choices of the firms, as well as the total output and the price, and calculate the output and the welfare loss compared to the competitive outcome. How would the answer change if the firms compete setting prices? What can we conclude about the relationship between competition and the number of firms?Consider two firms with a homogeneous product who face the market demand function p = 2 – q1 – 92, where q; and p are the quantities and price. Their constant marginal costs are given by c= 1. The firms compete in quantities in a simultaneous move game. Use this specific example (not a general case) to show that the Nash equilibrium is not Pareto efficient, and the cooperative solution is not an equilibrium (in the sense that both firms have an incentive to cheat). In your answer, use the fact that the firms are identical. Namely, they produce equal amounts (both in the simultaneous move game and in the cooperative case).
