Please be descriptive.
The market demand curve in a commodity chemical industry is given by Q 600 - 3P, where Q is the quantity demanded per month and P is the market price in dollars. Firms in this industry supply quantities every month, and the resulting market price occurs at the point at which the quantity demanded equals the total quantity supplied. Suppose there are two firms in this industry, Firm 1 and Firm 2. Each firm has an identical...

Consider an oligopolistic market with demand represented by P=250-5Q. Assume that the MC for each firm is MC 50. a) If the firms each have the same MC and the market is characterized by price competition (like Bertrand competition), what will be the equilibrium price? Quantity? Industry profits? b) If the few firms are, instead able to perfectly collude, what will be the equilibrium price? Quantity? Industry profits? c) If the market is characterized by quantity competition (Cournot) and there...

Demand in a market dominated by two firms (a Cournot duopoly) is determined according to: P = 300 – 4(Q1 + Q2), where P is the market price, Q1 is the quantity demanded by Firm 1, and Q2 is the quantity demanded by Firm 2. The marginal cost and average cost for each firm is constant; AC=MC = $74. The cournot-duopoly equilibrium profit for each firm is
