Two profit-maximizing firms compete in a market. Firm 1 chooses quantity qı > 0 and Firm 2 chooses quantity 42 > 0. The market price is: p(91,92) = 8 - 2q1 - 42. The cost to Firm 1 of producing qi is C1 = 41. The cost to Firm 2 of producing 92 is C2 = 42 + 42. a.) * Calculate the best-response function for each firm. b.) Suppose the two firms choose their quantities simultaneously. What is the...

Two firms compete in a market with demand given by D(p) = 100 − p, where p is denoted in cents (p=100 is 1 dollar). Firms can only charge prices in whole cents – i.e. p can only take integer values, and not values like 1.5. Marginal costs for each firm are given by MC=10. Firms compete by simultaneously choosing prices. When prices are equal, each firm gets one half of total demand. b. Find all the Nash equilibria of...

Two firms sequentially choose quantities q1, q2 to produce an identical good. First, firm 1 chooses q1, then firm 2 chooses q2. The price per unit in the market is p(q1, q2) = 1 − (q1 + q2). Assume that both firms have a constant marginal cost of zero. Both firms seek to maximize their profit. a. Formulate this story as an extensive form game b. Find all Nash equilibria of this game. c. Find the Subgame Perfect Nash equilibria...

Problem 1: Suppose that the market demand function is given by q-80-2p. All firms in the industry have marginal cost of 10 and no fixed cost. In this problem, the firms compete in quantities. (a) What is the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, profit (producer surplus) and deadweight loss if there is only one firm in the industry? (b) Now answer the same question if there are two firms in the industry (duopoly). How does your answer compare to the...

Answer the following question. Please show all your working/explanation. Three firms compete a la Cournot (compete in a Cournot Competition). Each firm has constant marginal cost c. Inverse demand curve is 1 - Q, where Q is the total quantity. Firm 1 moves first, and chooses q1 . After firm 1 chooses q1, firms 2 and 3 move second and simultaneously choose q2 and q3 . Find the equilibrium quantities q1, q2, q3 .

Two firms, Acme and Roadco, produce anvils, and compete with each other as Cournot oligopolists (i.e. they compete in quantities). The (inverse) demand for anvils is given by P(Q)=500-3Q. Both firms have constant marginal costs of MC=50 and no fixed costs. Hint: the partial derivative of (c-bX-bY)X with respect to X is c-2bX-bY. What is the equilibrium consumer and producer surplus in the market? (5 points)
