1. Two companies (A and B) are duopolists that produce identical products. Demand for the products is given by the following demand function: P = 10,000 - QA-QB where QA and QB are the quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the selling price. Total cost functions for the two companies are: TCA = 500,000 + 200QA + .5QA² TC8 = 200,000 + 400QB +QB² Assume that the two firms act independently as in the Cournot model (that is, each firm assumes that the other firm's output will not change). Determine the long-run equilibrium output and selling price for each firm.

- Imagine any market divided by 2 Cournot oligopolists who have identical costs Marginal cost = Average cost = 200. About this market, ask yourself: a) If the demand curve for this market is given by Q = 1250 - 2.5P, where Q is the total quantity demanded in the market and P is the selling price, both given in units, what is the reaction curve of the oligopolists? b) What will be the quantity produced and the selling price of the oligopolists? c) A strategist considers that a good marketing campaign would be able to expand the Demand of this market to Q = 1,500 - 2.5P and that in this way, oligopolists could produce the same amount and make significantly greater profits. Such a campaign would generate a reduction in profits in the order of 70,000. Is it worth making this investment in marketing?Assume that two companies (A and B) are duopolists who produce identical products.
