Suppose there are two oligopoly firms; Firm 1 and Firm 2. Firm 1 is a low-cost firm where as Firm 2 is a high-cost firm. Both the firms face identical demand curve given by the demand function as; Q =50 - 0.5P The cost functions of the two firms are given, respectively as; TC1=100 + 20Q1 + 20Q1 2 P1 = 100-2Q1 and TC2 = 48 + 36Q2 + 2Q2 2. P2 =100-202 Find the following; i) Price and output of the firms separately prior to Firm 1 working as the price leader. ii) ii) Price and output of Firm 2 after it accepts the price leadership of Firm 1
