A market is served by two firms in Cournot competition, each with a constant marginal cost of $100. The market inverse demand curve is P = 2,000 – 50 Q, where Q is the total market output produced by the two firms, q 1 + q 2. What is Firm 1's reaction function? A. q1 = 400 – 100q2 B. q1 = 19 – 0.5q2 C. q1 = 400 – 0.2P D. q1 = 210 – q2
a) Suppose that the two firms engage in Cournot competition. Find the equilibrium price PNE in the industry, the equilibrium outputs QANE and QBNE, as well as the profits πANE and πBNE, for each firm. b) Suppose the marginal cost for firm B increases from $20 to $140, while everything else remains unchanged. Find the new equilibrium price PNE in the industry, the new equilibrium outputs QANE and QBNE, as well as the new profits πANE and πBNE for each firm. c) Suppose that, in addition to the marginal cost increase from $20 to $140 from sub question b), firm B also has a fixed cost of $2500, out of which $2100 may be recouped if it shuts down; everything else remains unchanged. In this case, what will firm B’s optimal output be? (Justify your answer.) What will firm A’s profit be?

Suppose Eckerd Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in a particular market, but CVS Pharmacy is thinking about entering the market. Absent entry, Eckerd Pharmacy can maximize profits by producing a small quantity. However, by producing a large quantity, Eckerd Pharmacy can attempt to deter entry by reducing prices and, consequently, profits. Eckerd Pharmacy must choose how much to produce first and then CVS Pharmacy will choose whether to enter the industry. The strategies and corresponding profits for Eckerd (E) and CVS Pharmacy (C) are depicted in the decision tree to the right. What is the Nash equilibrium of the game? OA Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the small quantity and CVS Pharmacy will not enter OB. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the large quantity and CVS Pharmacy will enter. C. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the large quantity and CVS Pharmacy will not enter. OD. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the small quantity and CVS Pharmacy will enter Small Quantity, Large Quantity U Enter Stay Out Enter…
The public smoking of cigarettes generates costs to society from second-hand smoke, therefore, cigarette production imposes costs on people who do not smoke. Moreover, private consumption of cigarettes can start apartment building and wild fires that also impose costs on non-smokers. Luckily, fire extinguishers can help prevent the spread of fires.
Bob owns a plot of land in the desert that isn't worth much. One day, a giant meteor falls on his property. The event attracts scientists and tourists, and Bob decides to sell nontransferable admission tickets to the meteor crater to both types of visitors: scientists (Market A) and tourists (Market B). The following graphs show demand (D) curves and marginal revenue (MR) curves for the two markets. Bob's marginal cost of providing admission tickets is zero.

Back in 2012, the world’s largest provider of chipsets for devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) running on 4G network signed an agreement with one of the leading device manufacturers, committing to make significant payments to this manufacturer on condition that the manufacturer would exclusively use its chipsets. This was found to be violating competition law. a) Use economic theory to explain why such an agreement violates competition law and can hinder competition in the market. b) If you are working for the chipsets provider, how can you use economic theory to defend your company?
