Suppose instead that Lysol and Clorox were competing using quantities (Cournot Competition). Also suppose that the respective marginal cost for each firm is Mysor = 2 = Aysor and MC clorox = 2 = AC clorox. The inverse demand equation is still P = 5-Q with the marginal revenue being MR = 5 - 2Q. To make the following questions easier for you, the reaction curves have already been derived. For Lysol the reaction curve is nysor = 1.5-0.50 clorox...

Suppose instead that Lysol and Clorox were competing using quantities (Cournot Competition). Also suppose that the respective marginal cost for each firm is Mysor - 2 - A sor and MC clorox = 2 = AC clorox. The inverse demand equation is still P-5-Q with the marginal revenue being MR-5-20. To make the following questions easier for you, the reaction curves have already been derived. For Lysol the reaction curve is nsor = 1.5...

The market for disinfectant is dominated by 2 firms, Lysol and Clorox. The marginal cost (MC) for providing disinfectant is $1 (average cost is also $1), and the consumer form their demand for disinfectant via the following inverse demand equation P=5-Q:. The corresponding marginal revenue curve is: P=5- 2Q a. If Lysol and Clorox decide to collude, what quantities will be sold in the market and what price will consumers pay for this quantity...
multiple part question. please answer and cirlcle solutions! i will

3. Suppose the two firms cannot collude and instead compete in the Cournot Model in the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q = 18 – P) with the same cost (C(Q)=Q2). e. Do consumers prefer the Cournot competition equilibrium over the collusion of the two firms in question 3? f. Do the two firms prefer Cournot competition over colluding (assuming the collusion agreement is to split joint profits equally)?
Problem 4. Bertrand Competition with Different Costs Suppose two firms facing a demand D(p) compete by setting prices simultaneously (Bertrand Competition). Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost ci and Firm 2 has a marginal cost c2. Assume ci < C2, i.e., Firm 1 is more efficient. Show that (unlike the case with identical costs) p1 = (1 and p2 = c2 is not a Bertrand equilibrium.
Two firms are price-competing as in the standard Bertrand model. Each faces the market demand function D(p)=50-p. Firm 1 has constant marginal cost c1=10 and firm 2 has c2=20. As usual, if one of the firms has the lower price, they capture the entire market, and when they both charge exactly the same price they share the demand equally. 1. Suppose A1=A2={0.00, 0.01, 0.02,...,100.00}. That is, instead of any real number, we force prices to be listed in whole cents....
Suppose the two firms cannot collude and instead compete in the Cournot Model in the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q=18-P) with the same cost (C(Q)=1/2 *Q^2). Set up firm 1’s profit maximization. Solve for firm 1’s best response function. Solve for firm 1’s quantity, firm 2’s quantity, the equilibrium market quantity, and price. Show your work. Is this a Nash equilibrium? Do consumers prefer the Cournot competition equilibrium over the collusion of the two firms...
This is one question and question "7" need the information in

5 Cournot Suppose there are two departments selling economics degrees in one market competing fol- lowing the rules of the Cournot Oligopoly Model econ and man. econ. Suppose market demand for an economics degree is 7200-2p. Suppose both departments marginal cost is $3000 per degree. What is each department's residual demand curve? 5.1 5.2 What is each department's best response functions? 5.3 What is the Nash-Cournot...
