There are two types of car, distinguished by how fuel efficient they are. Type O is the less fuel efficient type, and type 1 is the more fuel efficient. The inverse demand curves for the two types of car are: Po = 250 – Qo – Q1/2, P = 120 – Q1 – Qo/2. (1) Cost functions are Co(Qo) = 50Q0, C:(Q1) = 20Q1 (2)

Question

Hi there just wanting answe to question 4 B, Thank you.

There are two types of car, distinguished by how fuel eficient they are. Type
O is the less fuel efficient type, and type 1 is the more fuel efficient. The inverse
demand curves for the two types of car are:
Po = 250 – Qo – Qı/2, P = 120 – Q1 – Qo/2.
(1)
Cost functions are
Co(Qo) = 50Q0, C:(Q1) = 20Q1
(2)

4) In the fourth setup there are only two firms, but both of them provide both types of car.
You might think of this as the two firms competing against each other in two markets. Each
firm chooses two quantities to provide, given the two quantities chosen by the other firm.
The two firms are identical. Demand functions for the total quantity of type 0 cars, and for
the total quantity of
Type 1 cars are unchanged. The cost functions for producing the two types of car are also
unchanged.
(B) Take two first-order conditions for that firm.
