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...
2. (Cournot Model) Consider a Cournot duopoly. The market demand is p=160 - q2. Firm 1's marginal cost is 10, and firm 2's marginal cost is also 10. There are no fixed costs. A. Derive each firm's best response function B. What is the Nash equilibrium of this model? Find the equilibrium market price. C. Find the equilibrium profit for each firm D. Find the equilibrium consumer surplus in this market. 3. (Bertrand Model) Consider a Bertrand duopoly. The market...
Demand in a market dominated by two firms (a Cournot duopoly) is determined according to: P = 300 – 4(Q1 + Q2), where P is the market price, Q1 is the quantity demanded by Firm 1, and Q2 is the quantity demanded by Firm 2. The marginal cost and average cost for each firm is constant; AC=MC = $74. The cournot-duopoly equilibrium profit for each firm is
An industry consists of two Cournot firms selling a homogeneous product with a market demand curve given by P=100-Q1-Q2. Each firm has a marginal cost of $10 per unit. (a) Find the Cournot equilibrium quantities and prices. (b) What is the Bertrand equilibrium price in this market? (c) Find the quantities and price that would prevail if the firms acted as if they were a monopolist (I.e. find the collusive outcome) and then find the equilibrium price and quantity that...
2. Suppose the market demand curve is P = 40 − 3Q and all firms in the industry face M C = 4 and have no fixed costs. For each of the following situations, calculate the five items: Market Price , Quantity per firm ,Profits per firm ,Consumer Surplus ,Deadweight Loss (a) Uniform pricing monopolist P = Q = π = CS = DWL = (b) Cournot Duopoly P= Q1 = Q2 = π 1 = π2...
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...
Consider two firms (Firm A and Firm B) competing in this market. They simultaneously decide on the price of the product in a typical Bertrand fashion while producing an identical product. Both firms face the same cost function: C(qA) = 12qA and C(qB) = 12qB, where qA is the output of Firm A and qB is the output of Firm B. The demand curve is P = 30 - Q. (i) What will be the Bertrand-Nash equilibrium price (pB) chosen...
Question 5 Demand in a market dominated by two firms (a Cournot duopoly) is determined according to: P = 200 – 2(Q1 + Q2), where P is the market price, Q1 is the quantity demanded by Firm 1, and Q2 is the quantity demanded by Firm 2. The marginal cost and average cost for each firm is constant; AC=MC = $60. The cournot-duopoly equilibrium profit for each firm is _____. Hint: Write your answer to two decimal places. QUESTION 6...
Demand in a market dominated by two firms (a Cournot duopoly) is determined according to: P = 200 – 2(Q1 + Q2), where P is the market price, Q1 is the quantity demanded by Firm 1, and Q2 is the quantity demanded by Firm 2. The marginal cost and average cost for each firm is constant; AC=MC = $75. The cournot-duopoly equilibrium quantity produced by each firm is _____. Hint: Write your answer to two decimal places.
1. Consider a three firm (n = 3) Cournot oligopoly. The market inverse demand function is p (Q) = 24 Q. Firm 1 has constant average and marginal costs of $12 per unit, while firms 2 and 3 have constant average and marginal costs of $15 per unit. a)Verify that the following are Nash equilibrium quantities for this market: q1 = 9 / 2 and q2 = q3 = 3 / 2 . b)How much profit does each firm earn...
