Profits for two competing firms depend on the decisions to advertise or not to advertise as follows: If neither firm advertises, each makes a weekly profit of $100. If one firm advertises while the other does not, the firm that advertises makes $120 while the firm that doesn’t advertise makes $60. If both firms advertise, each firm makes $80. (a) What is the Nash equilibrium? Is this outcome efficient, from the perspective of the two firms? (b) How does the outcome of the game change if the parties can make a binding agreement in advance about advertising practices? (c) How does the game change if it is repeated over the course of many weeks (but the firms cannot make a binding agreement about how much advertising they will do)?

The demand for a product is Q = a - P/2. If there are 4 firms in an industry and marginal cost is MC = 20, then the price in Nash equilibrium is P = 56. What is a?
I have constructed a Bertrand game (competition in prices) and presented you with the reaction functions of each firm. p1 = 12.5 + p2/4 p2 = 5/2 + p1/2 a) Use excel to draw the reaction functions. b) Solve for the Nash equilibrium

Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.
QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)
