Let's tackle each part of the question step by step:1. **Monopoly Market:** A) To find the profit-maximizing output and price, we first need to find the monopolist's marginal revenue (MR) function. MR is the derivative of total revenue (TR) with respect to quantity (Q). TR is simply the product of price (P) and quantity (Q). \[TR = P \times Q = (120 - Q) \times Q = 120Q - Q^2\] Taking the derivative of TR with respect to Q: \[MR = \frac{dTR}{dQ} = \frac{d(120Q - Q^2)}{dQ} = 120 - 2Q\] Setting MR equal to marginal cost (MC) to maximize profit: \[MR = MC\] \[120 - 2Q = 20\] \[100 = 2Q\] \[Q = 50\] Now, substitute $Q = 50$ into the demand function to find the price: \[P = 120 - Q = 120 - 50 = 70\] So, the profit-maximizing output is 50 units, and the price is $70. B) To find the total profit, we need to subtract total costs from total revenue: \[TR = P \times Q = 70 \times 50 = 3500\] \[TC = 20Q 200 = 20(50) 200 = 1000\] Total profit: \[Total\ Profit = TR - TC = 3500 - 1000 = 2500\]2.…

Question 1: A homogeneous products duopoly faces a market demand function given by Q = 10 - 2P, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Both firms have a constant marginal cost MC = 2. 1. Suppose the two firms set their quantities simultaneously by guessing the other firm's quantity choice. Derive the equation of each firm's reaction curve and then graph these curves. 2. What is the Cournot equilibrium quantity and price in this market for each firm? 3. What would the equilibrium price in this market be if it were perfectly competitive? 4. What is the Bertrand equilibrium price in this market?
On a graph for a representative firm in a perfectly competitive industry, depict the three cost curves AVC, ATC, and MC (assume typical U-shaped cost curves). Now assume the market price, P, is such that it intersects the upward-sloping portion of MC above ATC. Graphically depict the short-run equilibrium q (representative firm's output) and π (representative firm's profit) under this price scenario Given the situation you graphically depicted in Question 4, please state the level of economic profits (positive, zero, negative) of this representative firm and explain why this is the case.
