Consider two Cournot firms, Firm A and Firm B. Firm A has a marginal cost of 10 and Firm B has a marginal cost of 5. They face the market inverse demand function: P=120-Q How many units will Firm A produce?

Consider a Cournot competition with two firms, A and B. The marginal costs of each firm is MCA = MCB = 40. The inverse demand function is P = 130 - Q. Find the Nash equilibrium quantities for each firm and the market price.
Consider two identical Cournot firms that each have a marginal cost of 20, facing the market inverse demand function: P=120-Q What is the quantity produced for each firm? Round your answer to the nearest 1 decimal places.
Consider two identical Cournot firms that have zero marginal cost facing the market inverse demand function: P = 100−1/2 Q What is the quantity produced by each firm? Round your answer to the nearest 1 decimal places.
Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The inverse market demand they face is P = 120-2Q. The total cost function for each firm is TC1(Q) = 4Q1. The total cost function for firm 2 is TC2(Q) = 2Q2. What is the output of each firm? Find: Q1 = ? Q2 = ?
Cournot Oligopoly and Number of Firms In a Cournot oligopoly, each firm assumes that its rivals do not change their output based on the output that it produces. Ilustration: A Cournot oligopoly has two firms, YandZ. Yobservesthe market demand curve and the number of units that Z produces. It assumes that Z does notchange its output regardless of the number of units that it (Y) produces, so chooses a production level that maximizes its profits. The general effects of a...
Consider a Cournot duopoly, the firms face an (inverse) demand function: Pb = 41500 - 98 Qb. The marginal cost for firm 1 is given by mc1 = 1137 Q. The marginal cost for firm 2 is given by mc2 = 813 Q. What quantity will of output will the duopoly produce ? (Assume firm 1 has a fixed cost of $ 9150 and firm 2 has a fixed cost of $ 400 .) Ans. 66.69
4. (12 MARKS -6 FOR EACH PART) Two firms produce homogeneous products and compete as Cournot duopolists. Inverse market demand is given by P 30 Q. Firm 1 has a marginal cost of 5 per unit. Firm 2's marginal cost is c2<5. (a) Suppose that c2 falls. What will happen to the Cournot equilibriumi) price, (ii) consumer surplus and total surplus, and (ii) the HHI? Explain your answer. (b) How does this example relate to criticisms of the use of...
Question 2 (60 points) Consider two following Cournot competition between two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2. The firms face an inverse demand function P = 600-Q where Q = 91 + 92 is the total output. Each unit produced costs c-$60. Therefore the profit of each farmer is given by π1 (J1.qz) = (600-91-J2)a1-6091 712 (41,42) (600 q1 q2)42-6092 Each firm. i simultaneusly chooses own qi to maximize own profits πί. a) (15 points) Find the Cournot NE quantities...
Suppose a market has two firms that sell identical products. These firms face an inverse market demand function of P=120 – Q. Firm 1 has a constant MC=20. Firm 2’s marginal cost is MC=30. Find the Cournot equilibrium price, quantities, and profits for each firm. If these firms were able to perfectly collude, what would be the monopoly equilibrium?
EC202-5-FY 10 9Answer both parts of this question. (a) Firm A and Firm B produce a homogenous good and are Cournot duopolists. The firms face an inverse market demand curve given by P 10-Q. where P is the market price and Q is the market quantity demanded. The marginal and average cost of each firm is 4 i. 10 marks] Show that if the firms compete as Cournot duopolists that the total in- dustry output is 4 and that if...
