Question 2 [JP.14.3.19]
Consider a duopoly where the market demand is described by the equation: P = 150- Q. The marginal
cost for each firm is $60.
lo.] If the firms compete simultaneously with output, what is each firm's profit-maximizing output, the market
quantity, and the price each firm charges?
(b.) What is the economic profit eamed by each firm (from question [a]}
[c.) If Firm 1 is a leader in output, what is each firm's profit-maximizing output, the market quantity, and the
price each firm charges?
[d.] What is the economic profit earned by each firm (from question [c])?

- What is a feature common to both Monopolistic-Competition and Oligopoly type of markets? O productive efficiency will occur in both the short run and long run, a desirable economic property of markets. many smaller sized firms can produce the good or service at lower cost per unit than larger sized firms, thus large firms fail in the long run. the demand curve for each firm is not going to be purely elastic, because products are at least slightly different than potential rival firms' product and/or there may be some consumer brand loyalty. Firms in both types of markets eventually will be broken up by government anti-trust laws and regulations. MacBook Pro く※ G Search or type URL 6 7 8. 3 4.

- F13arrow_forwardMa3. You operate in a duopoly in which you and a rival must simultaneously decide what price to charge for the same homogeneous product. Assume each you and your rival can choose a “low price” or a “high price”. If you each charge a low price, you each earn zero profits. If you each charge a high price, you each earn profits of $3 million. If you charge different prices, the one charging the high price loses $5 million and the one charging the low price makes $5 million. What is the Nash equilibrium for the non-repeated version of this game? Now suppose the game is infinitely repeated. If the interest rate is 10%, can you do better than you could in the non-repeated version of this game? If your answer is “yes”, provide the players’ strategies and any other conditions that must hold.arrow_forwardplease show me processarrow_forward

Consider a duopoly in which inverse demand is given by P= 100-Q, where Pis the price and Q is aggregate output. The marginal cost of each firm is initially equal to 55 and there are no fixed costs. The firms compete by simultaneously setting quantities. (a) What is the equilibrium quantity of each firm, the equilibrium price and the profit of each firm? Now assume that one of the firms, firm 1, develops a new technology that reduces its own marginal cost to 25. (b) If firm 1 keeps this innovation for itself (so that the marginal cost of firm 2 is still 55), what will be the new equilibrium levels of output, price and profits of the two firms? What is the consumer surplus in the market? Do consumers benefit from the innovation?arrow_forwardY5arrow_forward
