Profit will decrease
Note that it is a Nash equilibrium which means that there is no tendency for the firm to initiate a change. If it reduces its output by 1 unit, it will actually increase the market price not only for itself but for the other firm also. Profit of the other firm will increase as a result. For this firm, however, increase in price will occur for all the units produced, but production is reduced which means profit will also decrease for all the units.

Question 30 1 pts Suppose two forms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) are engaged in duopoly competition Both firms are currently producing equilibrium quantities. If firm 1 were to unilaterally reduce their production by one unit, what would happen to firm 1's profit? Firm 1's profit would decrease Firm 1's profit would increase Firm 1's profit would stay the same There is not enough information to answer this question

Suppose two firms compete in Cournot competition. The market inverse demand curve is ? = 200 − ?1 − ?2. Firm 1 and firm 2 face the same marginal cost curve, ?? = 20. Therefore, profit for firm 1 is ?1 = (200 − ?1 − ?2)?2 − 20?1 and similarly for firm 2. a. Solve for the Cournot price, quantity, and profits. b. Suppose firm 1 is thinking about investing in technology that can reduce its costs to $15...
