9. Two firms compete by choosing price. Their demand functions are q1 = 20 – pı + P2 and q2 = 20 – P2 + P1. Marginal costs are zero a) Suppose the two firms set their prices at the same time. Find the resulting NE. What 2 price will each firm charge, how much will it sell, and what will its profit be? b) Suppose Firm 1 sets its price first and then Firm 2 sets its price. What price will each firm charge, how much will it sell, and what will its profit be? c) Suppose there are three ways this game can be played: both firms set price at the same time; firm 1 sets its price first; firm 2 sets its price first. If firm 1 can choose among these options, which would it prefer?

1. Suppose that inverse demand is given by P = 100 − 1/2 Q and each firm’s marginal cost is 10. Assume fixed costs are 0.(a) Solve for equilibrium price and quantity assuming this is a monopoly market. (i.e. Sup-posing there is only one firm, with no threat of entry, find the choice of quantity thatmaximizes profit, and then compute the corresponding market price.)(b) At this price and quantity, what is the monopolist’s profit?(c) What is consumer surplus?(d) What would be the perfectly competitive price, quantity, and consumer surplus?(e) How much is deadweight loss due to monopoly?
