The inverse demand in a Cournot duopoly is P = a - b (Q1 + Q2), and costs are C1(Q1) = c1Q1 and C2(Q2) = c2Q2. The government has imposed a per unit tax of $t on each unit sold by each firm. The equilibrium price of each firm is the same as a situation where: a. each firm’s demand increases by t. b. each firm’s demand decreases by t. c. each firm’s marginal cost increases by t. d. each firm’s marginal cost decreases by t.
c. each firm’s marginal cost increases by t.
(Tax of $t will increase the marginal cost of each firm by $t. So, equilibrium price of each firm is same as a situation where MC of each firm increases by $t.)
The inverse market demand in a homogeneous-product Cournot duopoly is P = 200 − 3(Q1 + Q2) and costs are C1(Q1) = 26Q1 and C2(Q2) = 32Q2. If the two oligopolists formed a cartel whose MC is the average between the oligopolists’ marginal costs, find the optimal output, price, and maximized profit. . Assume the cartel splits profit equally among oligopolists.
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
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.

Now consider a typical Cournot duopoly situation such that the market is being served by two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) that simultaneously decide on the level of output to sell in the market, while producing an identical product. The total output of the industry is Q = q1 + q2, where q1 and q2 are the output of Firm 1 and 2, respectively. Each firm has a symmetric cost function: C(q1) = 12 q1 and C(q2) = 12...
