Herder will try to maximize the profit in best response. Hence first derivative of q1 should be equal to zero at best response.
Hence 0=d/dq1 (80q1-q1/2-q2/2)
Or, 0= 80-q1-q2/2
Or, q1= 80- q2/2
hence option d is correct

1. Consider the following asymmetric version of the Cournot duopoly model. Two firms compete by simultaneously choosing the quantities (q, and q2) they produce. Their products are homogeneous, and market demand is given by p- 260-2Q, where Q-q +q2. Firm 1 has a cost advantage; Firm 1 produces at zero cost, while Firm 2 produces at a constant average cost of 40. (The difference in costs is what makes this an asymmetric game.) a. Derive both firms' profit functions, as...

5. Consider a version of the Cournot duopoly game, which will be thoroughly analyzed in Chapter 10. Two firms (1 and 2) compete in a homogeneous goods market, where the firms produce exactly the same good. The firms simultaneously and independently select quantities to produce. The quantity selected by firm i is denoted q, and must be greater than or equal to zero, for i - 1,2. The market price is given by p-2 - q1 -q2. For simplicity, as...

PROBLEM #1 Consider a market with two firms that sell products that are identical. Su market demand is as follows: P-56-Q , where Q measures the total output produced by both firms (that is, Q=q +q.) and qi and q, are the quantities produced by firm 1 and firm 2, respectively. The per-unit cost of production is $6 for each firm, and so the firm's cost functions are 6q, and 6q, respectively. Each firm seeks to maximize profits. The firms...

2. (30 pts) There are two firms in a market, producing the same good. The firms simultaneously choose their output levels, qı for firm 1 and q2 for firm 2. The price adjusts according to the inverse demand function p= 65 – (91 +92). Each firm has a per-unit (average) cost of 5. Each firm's payoff is its profit. a. (5 pts) Find firm l's profit as a function of qı and q2 (profit equals revenue minus total cost). b....

3. There are two firms that compete according to Cournot competition. Firm 1 has a cost function G(91) = 5.59+12. Firm 2 has a cost function C(q2) = 2.5q3 + 18. These firms cannot discriminate, so there is just one price that is determined by the aggregate demand. The inverse demand equation is P(Q) = 600 – 0 Where total supply Q-q1+92. (e) Use your best response equations to mathematically solve for the equilibrium quantities qi 9, Q". equilibrium price...
