Two firms compete in a single market (duopoly) with demand given by $ Q_D = 60 - P $. The two firms have identical cost functions, $ C(q) = 2q $.If the two firms compete via Bertrand (price) competition, then each will charge a price of $[ \text{dropdown} ]$.If the two firms compete via Cournot (quantity) competition, then each firm will produce $[ \text{dropdown} ]$ units and the equilibrium price in the market will be $[ \text{dropdown} ]$.

Consider that Firm 1 and Firm 2 are involved in price competition. The demand for each firm is given as follows, where Xj denotes the demand for firm i=1,2 and Pi denotes the price that firm i=1,2 chooses. X1=465-3P1+P2 X2=465-3P2+P1 For each firm, it costs 5 to produce a product. At the Nash equilibrium, the price of Firm 1 is Blank 1. Calculate the answer by read surrounding text. , and the price of Firm 2 is Blank 2. Please answer Blank 1 and Blank2.
Two firms produce a homogeneous good and compete in price. Prices can only take integer values. The demand curve is Q = 6 p, where p denotes the lower of the two prices. The lower - priced firm meets all the market demand. If the two firms post the same price p, each one gets half the market demand at that price, i. e., each gets (6p)/2. Production cost is zero.a) Show that the best response to your rival posting a price of 6 is to post the monopoly price of 3. What is the best response against a rival's price of 4? of 5?
Suppose that Raleigh and Dawes are the only sellers of bicycles in the UK. The inverse market demand function for bicycles is P(Y)=200-2Y. Both firms have the same total cost function: TC(Y)=12Y and the same marginal cost: MC(Y)=12. Suppose this market is a Stackelberg oligopoly, and Raleigh is the first mover. Write down a formula for the reaction function of Dawes. Calculate the equilibrium quantity that each firm produces and the equilibrium price in the market.

There are two soda firms Pepsi and Coke in Bertrand completion . They face demand with the following features: If their price is the lowest Q = 40-.5P, if their price is the same they face demand of half of the market, and if their price is the higher they face demand of zero. Both firms have a marginal cost of 10. Describe each firms reaction functions and the equilibrium price and quantity for each firm. Show your work and clearly mark your answers. Request: Please provide a graph if applicable and don't provide the handwritten answer. Thank you! Your help is much appreciated!
Suppose we have a duopoly with Firm 1 and Firm 2 and the following inverse demand function:P = 100 – 5(Q1 + Q2)Total Cost and Marginal Cost values for firms 1 and 2 are:TC1 = 20Q1TC2 = 30Q2MC1 = 20MC2 = 30Assuming a Cournot Duopoly, the following response functions are derived:Firm 1: Q1 = 8 – 0.5Q2Firm 2: Q2 = 7 – 0.5Q1Using this information, calculate the quantity produced for each firm, the price, and profits foreach firm and the market as a whole.
Consider a Cournot duopoly. The market demand function is P = 112-1(q1 + q2), where P is the market price, q1 is the output produced by Firm 1 and q2 is the output produced by Firm 2. The two firms have a constant marginal cost c = 17. What is Firm 2's profit ? Round your answer to the nearest integer (e.g. 50)
In the Cournot equilibrium, how much profit does firm 1 and firm 2 make in profit? (Round off to at least 2 decimal places, use negative numbers for losses.)
Consider the price function P(Y) = 1, { – 5Y + 26, 0 10 4 where y1 denotes the output of firm 1 and y2 denotes the output of firm 2 such that Y = y1 + y2. Suppose that the total cost to each firm is given by TC;(yi) = 2y; for i = 1, 2. Use Cournot's Duopoly Model to find outputs yi and y2, profits T1 and T2, and price P. %3D
Three firms compete in the style of Cournot. The market demand is given by Q(P) = 9 - P. There are no fixed cost and each firm s marginal cost is constant. Firm 1's marginal cost is MC1 = equilibrium if and only if 1, firm 2's marginal cost is MC2 = 2. Let MC3 be the marginal cost of Firm 3. All three firms will produce a strictly positive quantity in the Nash МС3 4. МС3 < 1. МС3 < 4. МС3 < 2.
Consider a market with demand P(Q) = 39-3Q in which two firms compete. Firm 1 faces TC1(Q) = 18Q and firm 2 faces TC2(Q) = 9Q.

(a) Find the reaction function for firm 2 (b) What is the marginal revenue for firm 1 (given that they know that firm 2 will best respond)? (c) Find the Stackelberg equilibrium (d) Determine profits for each firm and consumer surplus. (e) Which firm is better off?
A Cournot Oligopoly (duopoly) exists where the market demand function facing each of the two firms is P = 4 - (Q1 + Q2) , where Q = (Q1 + Q2) and the MC facing each firm is zero. If the two firms form a cartel, what is the market quantity (Q) and market price (P) that will prevail?
