1. When firms compete by choosing price, the resulting market outcome will be efficient (maximize total surplus).
True or False?
Homework Answers
The given statement is True
Reason - Usually the total surplus is maximum at the Equilibrium which is also the profit maximization price and that is the reason why it is efficient and it gives the maximum surplus.

Find the value of Q when Firms A and B Cournot compete to
maximize profits (i.e. when they simultaneously determine profit
maximizing output).
Firm A and Firm B compete in the sale of a product with market inverse demand given by P(0) = 260-Q, where Q is market output, and Q = 9A + 96 (9A = Firm A's output, 93 = Firm B's output). Firm A's Total Cost function is given by TCA9A) = 209A and Firm B's is...

Two firms compete by choosing their outputs in sequence, the follower observing the leader’s output before making its own choice. The market price then adjusts to equate demand with aggregate output. Production is costless, and consumer valuations are uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. (a) How much does each firmrm produce in equilibrium? (b) Why is price lower than if the two firms produced simultaneously (viz. a Cournot duopoly)?

Exercise 5: Two firms compete in a centralized market by choosing quantity produced (91,92) simultaneously. Aggregate production determines price, according to the following inverse demand function: p = [85 - 2 (91 +92)]. Firm l's total costs of production) are TC = 541. Firm 2's total costs are TC2 = 1592 a. Graph the combination of quantities (91,92) that yield the following profits: 11 (91.42) = T12 (91,92) = 450 ; 11 (41,42) = 500 ; 200; 12 (91,92) =...

Two firms compete by choosing price. Their demand functions are; Q1=80−P1+P2 and Q2=80+P1+P2. where P1 and P2 are the prices charged by each firm, respectively, and Q1 and Q2 are the resulting demands. Note that the demand for each good depends only on the difference in prices; if the two firms colluded and set the same price, they could make that price as high as they wanted, and earn infinite profits. Marginal costs are zero. Suppose the two firms set...

4. For this question you will be analyzing a market where firms compete under Bertrand com petition. That is, firms will strategically compete by selecting prices in order to maximize their profit. For this market, let the market demand be o 50-2p (a) Suppose firm I has a marginal cost of 10 and firm 2 has a marginal cost of 5. What is the equilibrium price p., what are the equilibrium quantities the firms produce q1-q2, and 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...
