Question

Consider duopoly model with firm 1 and firm 2. Firms have constant marginal costs, c_1 = c_2 = 10. Demand functions are given by equations:

 

Q_1= (7*100) - 2*P_1 + P_2

Q_2 = (7*100) + P_1 - 2*P_ 2 

 

Note that * signifies the multiplication sign. Firms play a simultaneous moves game where each store chooses its own price.

 

Find each firms’ best response functions. Draw the best response functions of each firm. Label the graph properly. Is this a game of strategic substitutes or strategic complements? Why? Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium of the game. Find the profits each firm receives.
