12. Recall the market setting in Question 3, where
the demand curve is P = 10 – 2Q, and mar-
ginal cost is c 2. Now suppose that two
firms, numbered 1 and 2 compete over this de-
mand curve. They produce quantities Q₁ and
Q2, hence total output is given by Q = Q1+Q2.
The best response function of firm 1 to firm 2,
labeled Q₁ = B₁ (Q2) is given by

2. Sweet taxes make the world sweeter!
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization, noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and stroke, are the main leading causes of deaths—almost 90% worldwide. These diseases also have social and economic costs. Cardiovascular diseases, for example, cost the economy of the European Union about 210 billion Euro in 2015.
One method some European countries adopted to try to reduce the death rate from those leading causes was to impose high taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages.
Assume that your next president loves the idea of sugar taxes and proposes a 30% tax on all sugary beverages in the country. And assume you are a marketing manager at a company that makes sugary soft drinks. The owner of the company heard the news and came to you for advice and asked you the following questions:
So, buddy, should I be worried about our business if this sugar tax policy is implemented? Why?
How do…

Your sister, the mom of the twins, brings you a piece of cake and starts venting about the twins, exclaiming, “Could you believe those guys?

Like, why don't they do what normal kids do, like attend medical school or business school or become teachers or something so they can land on a good paying job? I don’t get them. They are so irrational, aren’t they?” Then, your sister looked at you and posed the following questions. "Please tell me: Who is more rational in their choice, Jamal or Khalil?
