5. To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Fizzo and Pop Hop are the only two firms that sell orange soda. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: Pop Hop Advertise Doesn't Advertise Advertise 8, 8 15, 2 Fizzo Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 11, 11 For example, the upper right cell shows that if Fizzo advertises and Pop Hop doesn't advertise, Fizzo will make a profit of $15 million, and Pop Hop will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Fizzo and Pop Hop are both profit-maximizing firms. If Fizzo decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Pop Hop advertises and a of million if Pop Hop does not advertise. If Fizzo decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Pop Hop advertises and a profit of $ million if Pop Hop does not advertise. If Pop Hop advertises, Fizzo makes a higher profit if it chooses If Pop Hop doesn't…
2. Find the Nash equilibrium of Cournot's game when there are two firms, each with cost function C(q) = q, and the inverse demand function is given by P(Q) for some a > 0. - {8-9 = 1-Q Q≤a Q> a
Question 31 Which of the following statements about oligopoly is not correct? O A. there is no single model of oligopoly firm behavior OB. a few firms play an important role in the sale of an identical or differentiated product OC. oligopoly firms are mutually interdependent OD. all oligopolies have differentiated products
How does a commitment to match any price cuts by other firms work to limit price competition in an oligopoly? Select one: O a. Firms that cut price get no benefit in increased market share. O b. Demand decreases as consumers anticipate a price war in the future. Oc. Government regulators step in to avoid a ruinous price war. O d. Demand increases as consumers look more favorably on this industry and its products.
Suppose that there are two firms producing a homogenous product and competing in Cournot fashion and let the market demand be given by Q = 240- Assume for simplicity that each firm operates with zero total cost. Find each firm's Cournot Nash equilibrium profit for each firm. $21600 O $19200 O $18000 O $16000
QUESTION 2 In a Cournot duopoly firm 1's best-response function is downward sloping because when firm 2 produces more: O Firm 1's marginal cost goes up, so firm 1 produces less. O Firm 1's total cost goes up, so firm 1 produces less. O Firm 1's marginal revenue goes down, so firm 1 produces less. O Firm 1's average cost goes up, so firm 1 produces less.
15. Consider two competing firms, JR and OG. Suppose OG produces an estab- lished product and JR can either produce a clone or a differentiated product. If JR produces a clone, OG can either sue JR or not sue it. If JR produces a differentiated product rather than a clone, OG can either buy JR or not buy it. The two firms are in a non-cooperative game whose extensive form is rep- resented in the tree diagram below, where the payoffs on the right represent profits. -1 for OG 1 for JR sue OG don't -2 for OG clone sue 1 for JR JR don't clone 1 for OG -1 for JR buy OG don't buy 2 for OG 0 for JR If the two firms' managers are rational and recognize each other as rational, then (a) JR clones and OG sues (b) JR does not clone and OG buys (c) JR does not clone and OG does not buy (d) JR clones and OG does not sue (e) JR clones and OG sues with probability .5
Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: Dairy King Advertise Doesn'tAdvertise Advertise 10, 10 18, 2 Creamland Doesn'tAdvertise 2, 18 11, 11 For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $18 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $ million if Dairy King does not advertise. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of S million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $ million if Dairy King does not advertise.
