- Help me please3. Consider a duopoly with a demand curve given by P = a -bQ, where a and b are positive constants and Q is the total production by the two firms. Firms sell identical goods and have an identical constant marginal cost of production c. Fixed costs are equal to zero. We assume firms choose quantities simultaneously (Cournot competition). a. Obtain the first order condition of profit maximization for each firm. Use graphical analysis and economic intuition to explain what they represent. b. Obtain the profit maximizing quantity for each firm. Explain what they represent using game theory concepts c. Demonstrate using relevant graphical analysis and economic intuition that the results obtained in b are not a Pareto Optimum for the firms involved. d. How would the graphical analysis in part a change if Firm A had a fixed cost of productionTwo Cournot competitors face inverse demand p = 50-Q, where Q = 9₁ +92 is the total output of firms 1 and 2. Both firms have marginal cost of 2. What are the equilibrium output levels q₁ and 92? 16 and 16 25 and 25 20 and 9 36 and 3
- Problem 1. HHI in the Bertrand Triopoly Equilibrium It's a Bertrand Triopoly - hence we know there are 3 firms in the industry-in-question, who competes in "price". The inverse demand functions for Firm 1, 2, and 3 are as follows: q1 = 40 - 1.5p1 +0.5p2 +p3 q2 = 40 + 1.5p1 - 3p2+p3 q3 = 40 + 2p1 + 1.5p2 - 4p3 For each firm, the marginal cost of production is $2.50/unit produced and sold. Apparently, the firms' products are differentiated. You cannot impose symmetry across firms. Therefore, please solve each firm's profit maximization problem, impose equilibrium, and solve for each firm's "action" in equilibrium. After that, please calculate the Herfindahl- Hirschman Index (HHI) in the industry in equilibrium.Assume firms' marginal and average costs are constant and equal to c and that inverse market demand is given by P = a - bQ where a, b > 0. Suppose now the market is served by k firms that choose quantities for their identical products simultaneously. Calculate: i. ii. iii. iv. The Nash equilibrium quantities for the Cournot firms as functions of k. 2 Market output and price as a function of k Firm profit as a function of k Using your answers in i, ii, iii and iv, describe what happen to firm output, market output, market price and firm profit as the number of firms increases.Consider a duopoly market with 2 firms. Aggregate demand in this market is given byt Q = 500 – P, where P is the price on the market. Q is total market output, i.e., Q = QA + QB, where QA is the output by Firm A and QB is the output by Firm B. For both firms, marginal cost is given by MC = 20, i=A,B. « Assume the firms compete a la Cournot. e a) Find the inverse demand in this market. Note that marginal revenue for both firms is given by MRA=500-2QA-QB, MRB=500-QA-2QB. b) Describe what a best-response curve is and how to find it. c) Derive the best-response function for each firm. d) What are the equilibrium quantities? e) What is the total quantity supplied on this market? f) What is the equilibrium price in this market?
- 1. Consider two duopolists who each have a constant marginal cost c = e2 = 3 and face inverse demand P = 15 – Q,where Q = Q1 + Q2 is the total output of both firms. 1. Find the Cournot equilibrium quantity for each firm, the resulting market price, and the profits for each firm. 2. Find the Stackelberg equilibrium quantities for each firm, and the price, and the profits for each firm supposing that Firm 1 is the industry leader. 3. Suppose that Firm 2 figures out a way to lower its marginal cost to ez = 0 while firm 1 still has a marginal cost equal to 1: c = 3. How does this affect the Cournot equilibrium quantities, price, and profits? 4. How does this affect the Stackelberg equilibrium (with Firm 1 still as the leader) quantities, price, and profits?1. Suppose an industry consists of two identical firms. Industry demand is P = 100 – 2Q and MC = 20. a. Solve for Cournot-Nash equilibrium firm quantities, industry quantity, price and firm profits. b. Suppose another firm with identical cost structure enters the market. Solve for equilibrium firm quantities, industry quantity, price and firm profits. c. Now, Suppose the 3 firms follow a Bertrand pricing model. Solve for the Bertrand equilibrium firm quantities, industry quantity, price and firm profits.QUESTION 1A) Two cournot competitors face inverse demand P = 50 - Q. Where, Q = q1+q2, is the total output of firms 1 and 2. What are the equilibrium output levels for q1 and q2, If firm 1 marginal cost is 1, and firm 2's marginal cost is 12? QUESTION 1B. Continuing with the inverse demand, P = 50 - Q, if each firm has a marginal cost of 0, what is the difference between the equilibrium price under Cournot competition and under Bertrand competition? b. C. d. a. The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50. The Cournot price is lower than the Bertrand price by 25. The Cournot price is higher than the Bertrand price by 50/3. Equilibrium prices under Cournot and Bertrand are the same, so the difference is zero.
