Homework Answers
Ans:- Two country produces oil. The per unit production cost of country 1 is C1 = $2, and country 2 is C2 = $4. The total demand for oil is Q= 40-p, each country produces either 5 units, 10 units, 15 units.
Solution:- The total production of the two countries in Nash equilibrium:-
The fourth option is correct answer.

There are two oil-producing countries: A and B. Each can choose their own level of oil production: low L or high H. At low production, a country produces 2 million barrels of oil per month, while at high production, a country produces 4 million barrels of oil per month. Costs of production for A are $8 per barrel; for B, $16 per barrel The price of oil each month depends on the total output from these two countries onto the...

Oil producing countries need to maintain the price of oil from decreasing, and for this reason they need to limit the total production of oil. Therefore, they try to maximize their profit by predicting the production level of other countries. Consider the following hypothetical situation, where Saudi Arabia and Venezuela get varying profit margins for the oil they produce. Venezuela can either produce 1M barrels per day or 2M barrels per day, while Saudi Arabia can produce 4M barrels per...

1. Countries A and B both can produce two goods, X and Y. If country A produces only good X, it can produce 30 units of X; if country A produces only good Y, it can produce 10 units of Y. If country B produces only good X, it can produce 40 units of X; if country B produces only good Y, it can produce 40 units of Y. Assume that both countries have homogenous resources so that the opportunity...

Country A and country B are two neighboring countries. The inverse supply and demand functions for electricity (TWh) in these two countries are given by: Sa = 7,5+0.15Xa Da = 21 -0.075Xa Sb = 15+0.15Xb Db = 24 -0.0375Xb where Sa, is supply price in country A, Da is demand price in country A and Xa, is the corresponding volume in country A. Similar notation for country B. These functions are only valid in the ranges where both prices and...

Suppose there are two firms, 1 and 2, competing in quantity. The market demand is p = 15-(q1 +q2), where q1 and q2 are the quantities produced by rms 1 and 2. Both rms have constant marginal cost c1 = c2 = 3. (a) [10] Find the Cournot equilibrium of this market. Compute the consumer surplus in equilibrium. b) Now suppose firms 1 and 2 merge, so that they become a monopolist with demand function p = 15 ? q,...

QUESTI ON 1 Consider two countries, the US and Canada, that produce two goods, bread and steel, with only one factor of production, Labor. In the US, 2 units of labor are required to produce one unit of steel and 4 units of labor are required to produce one unit of bread. In Canada, 4 units of labor are required to produce a unit of steel and 4 units of labor are required to produce one unit of bread. Each...

Suppose that three countries are engaged in oil production. For
simplicity, assume zero costs so that revenue equals profit. If the
countries create a cartel and agree to mimic monopoly-like behavior
to maximize total profit, the level of output each firm would
produce is _____ units. Now, suppose that country A breaks the
agreement by producing an additional 200 units of output. This
results in an increase of profits of _______ dollars for firm A
while profits for country B...

Consider the market for oil. Suppose for simplicity that there are only two oil producing countries—Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Both countries must choose whether to produce a low output or a high output. Kuwait Low Output High Output These output strategies with corresponding profits are depicted in the payoff matrix to the right. Kuwait's profits are in red and Saudi Arabia's are in blue. $120 Suppose the two countries form a cartel. What is the cooperative equilibrium? $70 Low Output...

The answers I filled are wrong.
1 Suppose that two identical firms produce widgets and that they are the only firms in the market. Their costs are given by C1 = 60Q1 and C2 = 60Q2, where Q1 is the output of Firm 1 and Q2 is the output of Firm 2. Price is determined by the following demand curve: P= 900-Q where Q = Q1 +Q2: Find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. Calculate the profit of each firm at this equilibrium....
