Please no written by hand solution Suppose two firms compete in quantities (Cournot). Market demand is given by P = 260 − 2Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Both firms have constant MC = AT C = 20.a. Solve for the Cournot equilibrium and find the Cournot equilibrium profits for each firm.b. Now suppose the two firms formed a cartel. What would be the profits for each firm then?c. If firm 2 sticks to the cartel agreement (quantity), then what is the best response for firm 1 (if firm 1 were to deviate)? Find the profits for firm 1 from deviating.d. How large must the probability-adjusted discount factor be in order for the cartel to be stable?e. How would the answer to part d. change if the two firms were competing in prices (Bertrand)?Please answer all steps, because no too much detailed answers required.
According to the kinked demand curve theory of oligopoly each firm thinks its demand curve at prices above the existing price is a. less elastic than at prices below the exisiting price since price increases will be matched. b. more elastic than at prices below the exisiting price since price increases will be matched. c. less elastic than at prices below the exisiting price since price increases will not be matched. d. more elastic than at prices below the exisiting price since price increases will not be matched.

10. please quikcly thanks ! Which of the following situations would create conducive environment for the practice of effective collusive oligopoly? A. Slow increase in the number of potential producers. B. Demand curve becomes less elastic for the collusive oligopoly's product. C. Rivals ignore price cuts but follow price increases. D. All firms avoid nonprice competition.
Somehow Im having trouble with parts a-c. Could I have help understanding and solving giving this is a Bertrand duopoly model.
