Question

Suppose we have a duopoly with Firm 1 and Firm 2 and the following inverse demand function:

P = 100 – 5(Q1 + Q2)

Total Cost and Marginal Cost values for firms 1 and 2 are:

TC1 = 20Q1
TC2 = 30Q2
MC1 = 20
MC2 = 30

Assuming a Cournot Duopoly, the following response functions are derived:

Firm 1: Q1 = 8 – 0.5Q2
Firm 2: Q2 = 7 – 0.5Q1

Using this information, calculate the quantity produced for each firm, the price, and profits for
each firm and the market as a whole.
