Two local ready-mix cement manufacturers, H and T, have combined demand given by Q = 105 − P. Their total costs are given by TCH = 5QH + 0.5QH^2, and TCT = 5QT + 0.5QT^2. If they successfully collude, what is their maximum joint profits?
Continuing with inverse demand p = 50 - Q, if each firm has marginal cost of 0, what is the difference between the equilibrium price under Cournot competition and under Bertrand competition? The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50. The Cournot price is lower than the Bertrand price by 25. The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50/3. Equilibrium prices under Cournot and Bertrand are the same, so the difference is zero.

PROBLEM IV. Consider an industry consisting of two firms (i = 1,2) that are engaged in a Bertrand price competition. The demand function for the product of firm i is given by qi = 24 – 9p; + 6p;. The marginal cost of production for each firm is zero. Q12. The collusive price of the products is (a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 1 (d) 6 (e) 2
Suppose the iceberg lettuce industry is a Cournot duopoly with two firms: Xtra Leafy (a) and Yummy Farms (y). Xtra Leafy produces q units of output and Yummy Farms produces qy units of output. Aggregate market output is Q = x + y. The (inverse) market demand schedule is: p = 176 - 2Q Both firms have identical cost structures: MC = MC₁ = ATC₂ = ATC₁ = $12 Find Xtra Leafy's Cournot reaction function of the form: 9x = a + bay Where "a" is the reaction function's intercept and "b" is its slope. Note: Please review the formatting instructions above. If any value is negative, be sure to include its negative sign. a. a= b. b = Hint: One of your answers will be negative. Think about why.

A homogeneous products duopoly faces a market demand function given by Q = 102P, where Q = Q₁ + Q2. Both Q1 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?
Economics Consider a three-firm homogeneous product industry. The market demand function is X=1000-40P. The cost functions of the firms are: C1= 20X1, C2=13.5X2+0.075X22, and C3=16.3X3+0.005X32. Where, X=X1 + X2 + X3. 1. Explain the Firm's Cournot Behaviour. 2. Assuming the firms' practice on Cournot Behaviour, calculate the market price, outputs of the firms and their profits
