Cournot Duopoly Suppose that Coca Cola and Pepsi companies compete in quantity sold in a small town. The market demand function for soda in the small town is given by the demand function: Q 10,000 P where Q is the aggregate quantity demanded and P is the price of a can of soda. Let Qp be the number of cans of soda sold by the Pepsi company and Qc be the number sold by the Coca Cola company. Assuming that the marginal cost of producing a can of soda is the same for both companies and equal to 50 cents, find the Nash equilibrium of the soda market in this small town. Illusrate the Nash equilibrium by using the best repsonse functions of both companies. %3D
What is the homogeneous-good duopoly Cournot equilibrium if the market demand function is Q= 1,800 - 1,000p. and each firm's marginal cost is $0.28 per unit? The Cournot-Nash equilibrium occurs where q, equals and 92 equals (Enter numenic responses using real numbers rounded to two decimai places.) Furthermore, the equilibrium occurs at a price of $ (Round your answer to the nearest penny.)
Consider two Cournot oligopolists, firm 1 and firm 2, in a homogenous product market. The market demand is P = 100 – 3Q and each firm has a constant marginal cost MC=10. The Cournot equilibrium quantity for each firm is: a. 7.5 b. 10 c. 5 d.15
bok rint An oligopoly producing a homogeneous product is comprised of three firms that act like a cartel. Assume that these three firms have identical cost schedules. Assume also that if any one of these firms sets a price for the product, the other two firms charge the same price. As long as they all charge the same price they will share the market equally; and the quantity demanded of each will be the same. Below is the total-cost schedule of one of these firms and the demand schedule that confronts it when the other firms charge the same price as this firm.

In a market there are five firms, all have a total cost curve equal to CT = 2q. The market demand is Q = 500 - 5P. How much profit would each firm get if they collude and share the market equitably? What is the profit to each firm if they agree to collude, but one firm misleads the others charging a slightly lower price? What is the profit if all firms do not collude and compete via price?

Economics Reference the following information about the market demand function for questions 1 to 15. These questions are on different types of market structures – monopoly, perfect competition, Cournot oligopoly market, and the Stackelberg oligopoly market. The market demand function is given the following equation: P = 2000 – Q where Q is the industry’s output level. Suppose initially this market is served by a single firm. Let the total cost function of this firm be given the function C(Q) = 200Q. The firm’s marginal cost of production (MC) is equal to the firm’s average cost (AC): MC = AC = 200. Now suppose the two firms engage in Stackelberg market competition. Assume firm 1 is the leader (first-mover) and firm 2 is the follower firm (second-mover). Marginal profit function of Stackelberg leader: 900−Q1 QUESTION 14: What will be the market price in this Stackelberg model?

If firm 1 and firm 2 are the oligopolistic firms in bottled spring water production in Nomansland. The market demand is given by ? = 5000 −20?, Qd is the number of kilolitres demanded per month while P is the price of kilolitres of bottled water. The marginal cost of a kilolitre of bottled water is R10.How do I Find the Cournot equilibrium quantities and price? and how do I Find the Cournot profits and the monopolist profits?
The inverse demand function in a market is given by P = 500- Q. The fırms that operate in this market have zero fixed costs, and constant marginal costs equal to MC = 2O. %3D
