Question
A duopoly faces an inverse market demand of P(Q) = 150−Q.
Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of MC1 (q1) = ​$30.
Firm​ 2's constant marginal cost is MC2 (q2) =​ $60.
Assume fixed costs are negligible for both firms. Calculate the output of each​ firm, market​ output, and price if there is​ (A) a collusive equilibrium or​ (B) a Cournot equilibrium.
 
(A) Collusive equilibrium ​(Enter your responses rounded to two decimal​ places)
 
The collusive equilibrium occurs where q1  equals ?
and q2 equals ?
 
Market output is ?
 
The collusive equilibrium price is ?
 
 
​(B) Cournot equilibrium ​(Enter your responses using rounded to two decimal​ places)
 
The​ Nash-Cournot equilibrium occurs where q1 equals ?
and q2  equals ?
 
Market output is ?
 
The equilibrium occurs at a price of ?
