- 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?The table shows the demand schedule for a particular product. Quantity Price 0 100 300 90 600 80 900 70 1200 60 1500 50 1800 40 2100 30 2400 20 2700 10 3000 0 Suppose the market for this product is served by two firms who have formed a cartel and are colluding to set the price and quantity in this market. If the marginal cost to produce this product is constant at $40 per unit, then what price will the cartel set in this market? a. $40 b. $50 c. $60 d. $70 e. $80if two firms (firm A and firm B) are competing selling T-shirts, both at $12 per shirt, both have a quantity of 50 and both can produce a t-shirt at a cost of $2 per shirt both marginal and average. If both companies are competing directly against each other in prices, what will the new marginal price of company B will be? and what will be their profits? Also, how do you solve the equilibrium price in oligopolies?

Firm 2 chooses how much to supply after observing the quantity supplied by firm 1. The market demand is Q= 100 – 4 P. For firm i, the total cost of production is TC(q) =5q,+2.

They realise they would be better off if they didn't compete with each other. They enter an alternating offers bargaining game to decide how they will divide the monopoly profit, n. They have three periods to come to an agreement. If no agreement is reached after three periods, the firms will compete simultaneously in prices. The firms toss a coin to decide who makes the first offer in the bargaining game. Firm 1 wins and decides to go first. Each firm has a discount factor o. a) Draw the game tree. b) What is the subgame perfect equilibrium when 8 = 0.5? c) What is the equilibrium payoff for each firm? d) Was Firm 1 wise to opt to make the first offer?

How much would each firm produce if they form the cartel? Why?Suppose that the central bank for this economy suddenly and unexpectedly decreases the money supply in an effort to reduce inflation. As a result of this unanticipated policy action, actual inflation falls to 3%. On the previous graph, use the black point (plus symbol labeled "B") to illustrate the short-run effects of this policy. Suppose that now, after a period of 3% inflation, households and firms begin to expect that the inflation rate will persist at the level of 3%. On the previous graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw SRPC₂, the short-run Phillips curve that is consistent with these expectations, assuming that it is parallel to SRPC₂- Finally, using the orange point (square symbol labeled "C"), indicate on the previous graph the new, long-run equilibrium for this economy. The inflation rate at point C is unemployment rate at point A. the inflation rate at point A, and the unemployment rate at point C is Was the central bank able to achieve its goal of lowering…The labels are the possible profits (in millions) that two firms in a duopoly can make depending on the quantity produced b each firm (Peter's profits are shown in the blue boxes and Paul's profits are shown in the green boxes).

- Help me pleaseThere is a duopoly in the market, with Firm A and Firm B considering whether to compete against each other or cooperate. If Firm A and Firm B both agree to cooperate, they will each earn $1,010$1,010 in profits. If one of them decides to compete at the expense of the other, it will earn $1,800$1,800 in profits, while the other will earn three times less.Calculate the difference between the total profits for both firms when they cooperate and when one takes advantage of the other. Write the exact answer. Do not round.1. Best responses in a Cournot Oligopoly Firm A and Firm B sell identical goods Total market demand for the good is: The inverse demand function is therefore 1 P(QM) = 780 -Q=780 -0.02222QM 45 QM is total market production (i.e., combined production of firm's A and B. That is: Q(P) = 35, 100- 45P 2M = A +QB As a result, the inverse demand curve for each firm is: P(QA, QB) = 780- -1/32₁-752 45 Unlike the example in class, the two firms have different costs. = 4000A TCA (QA) TCB (QB) = 260QB = 780 -0.022220A -0.02222QB a. Using the demand function and the cost functions above, what is firm A's profit function. b. Using the profit function above and assuming that firm B produces Qg, calculate what firm A's best response is to firm B’s decision to produce QB- Note: Firm A's best response should be a function of B
