Two firms are competing in a Bertrand setting. The demand and costs equations are: Q1 = 88–4P1+2P2, Q2 = 88–4P2+2P1; MC1 = 9; and MC2 = 10. The firms agreed to collude. But firm 1 sets a P-Duopoly. Instructions: Use no decimals. a. Under these conditions, P1 = $ P2 = $ b. Calculate each firm's equilibrium output. Q1 = Q2 = c. Calculate the profit each firm earns in equilibrium. Firm 1: $ Firm 2: $
