What is the profit-maximizing equilibrium price?Suppose that Raleigh and Dawes are the only sellers of bicycles in the UK. The inverse market demand function for bicycles is P(Y)=200-2Y. Both firms have the same total cost function: TC(Y)=12Y and the same marginal cost: MC(Y)=12. Suppose this market is a Stackelberg oligopoly, and Raleigh is the first mover. Write down a formula for the reaction function of Dawes. Calculate the equilibrium quantity that each firm produces and the equilibrium price in the market. Give typing answer with explanation and conclusionA market is served by two firms in Cournot competition, each with a constant marginal cost of $100.

Suppose that two Cournot firms operated in the market. What would be the reaction function for Firm 1 and the reaction function of Firm 2? (Notes: The marginal cost is not zero).

For the Cournot case, draw the two reaction curves and indicate the equilibrium point on the graphConsider an industry with two firms, each of which has a constant marginal cost of 20. The inverse demand facing this industry is P(Y) = 220 −Y, where Y = y1 + y2 is the total output. 1. What is the competitive level of output?

Total demand is given by D(p)=200-p.The variable (=marginal) cost of each of the firms is c1=10, c2=20, c3=30 and c4=35. Firms compete in prices. Suppose firms 1 and 2 merge into one entity and produce with a marginal cost of 15. Which of the following statements is correct? After the merger, total welfare increases by $500. After the merger, total welfare decreases by $500. After the merger, total welfare increases by $1000. After the merger, total welfare decreases by $1000. None of the above.
- Consider an industry with only two firms: firm A and firm B. The industry’s inverse demand is P(Q) = 400 − 1/10Q where P is the market price and Q is the total industry output. Each firm has a marginal cost of $10. There are no fixed costs and no barriers to exit the market. Suppose that the two firms engage in Cournot competition. Find the equilibrium price in the industry, the equilibrium outputs, as well as the profits for each firm.Two firms produce the same good and compete against each other in a Cournot market. The market demand for their product is P = 204 – 4Q, and each firm has a constant marginal cost of $12 per unit. Let Q; be the output produced by firm i, where i = 1,2. Then, Firm 1's reaction function is A. Q, = 24 - 0.5Q2. B. Q, = 24. %3D C. Q, = 25.5 – 0.5Q2. D. Q, = 24 - Q2. %3D E. None of the above.

(Enter your response as an integer.) Suppose that instead of competing as a Cournot firm, Firm 1 decides to announce its production decision before Firm 2 chooses its output. Thus, Firm 1 acts as a Stackelberg firm. Use the same market demand, P = 204 - 4Q, and marginal cost, $12, as before. Firm 1 will produce 24 units, Firm 2 will produce 12 units, and the market price will be $ 60 .
