- 1. The market (inverse) demand function for a homogeneous good is P(Q) = 10 - Q. There are two firms: firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of 2 for producing each unit of the good, and firm 2 has a constant marginal cost of 1. The two firms compete by setting their quantities of production, and the price of the good is determined by the market demand function given the total quantity. a. Calculate the Nash equilibrium in this game and the corresponding market price when firms simultaneously choose quantities. b. Now suppose firml moves earlier than firm 2 and firm 2 observes firm 1 quantity choice before choosing its quantity find optimal choices of firm 1 and firm 2.The market demand function is Each firm has a marginal cost of m = $0.28. Firm 1, the leader, acts before Firm 2, the follower. Solve for the Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities, prices, and profits. The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities are The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium price is Profits for the firms are and 92 p = $ π2 $ = Q=7,000 1,000p. 91 and units units. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) π₁ = $ (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)Which statement best describes a Nash equilibrium applies to price competition? 1. Two firms cooperate and set the price that maximizes joint profits. 2. Each firm automatically moves to the purely competitive equilibrium because it knows the other firm will eventually move to that price away. 3 given the prices chosen by its competitors, no firm has an incentive to change their prices from the equilibrium level. 4. One dominant firm sets the price, and the other firms take that’s price as if it were given by the market. 5. None of the above.
- QUESTION 10 Suppose there are two firms that produce an identical product. The demand curve for the product is given by P = 62 - Q where Q is the total quantity produced by the two firms. Both firms choose their individual quantities qı20 and q22 0 simultaneously. Each firm has a marginal cost of 37. What is the market price when both firms produce the quantities in the unique Nash equilibrium? Give your answer as a number to two decimal places.GAME THEORY: Two countries produce oil. The per unit production cost of Country 1 is C1 = $2 and of country 2 it is C2 = $4. The total demand for oil is Q = 40-p where p is the market price of a unit of oil. Each country can only produce either 5 units, 10 units or 15 units. The total production of the two countries in a Nash equilibrium is: A. 10 B. 15 C. 20 D. 25 E. 30It takes 3,000 households having average annual income of $50,000 within a 3-mile radius to support a grocerystore. There are actually 6,000 households within 3-miles of the Shop-Rite Grocery that have $50,000 per yearaverage incomes. Today, Shop-Rite is the only grocery store in this area. Using the concept of Nash Equilibrium inlocation, explain what the likely outcome will be for this area, given those conditions
- 10Two firms produce differentiated products. The demand for each firm’s product is as follows: Demand for Firm 1: q1 = 20 – 2p1 + p2 Demand for Firm 2: q2 = 20 – 2p2 + p1 Both firms have the same cost function: c(q) = 5q. Firms compete by simultaneously and independently choosing their prices and then supplying enough to meet the demand they receive. Please compute the Nash equilibrium prices for these firms.Suppose OPEC has only two producers, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, Saudi Arabia has far more oil reserves and is the lower-cost producer compared to Nigeria. The payoff matrix in the table to the right shows the profits earned per day by each country. "Low output" corresponds to producing the OPEC assigned quota and "high output" corresponds to producing the maximum capacity beyond the assigned quota Which of the following statements is true? OA. The Nash equilibrium is a cooperative equilibrium. OB. The Nash equilibrium is a noncooperative, dominant strategy equilibrium OC. The Nash equilibrium is a collusive equilibrium. D. There is no Nash equilibrium in this game because each party. pursues its dominant strategy. Low output Nigeria High output Low output Nigeria earns $20 million Saudi Arabia Nigeria earns $30 million Saudi Arabia earns $100 million Saudi Arabia earns $80 million High output Nigeria earns $12 million Saudi Arabia earns $75 million Nigeria earns $20 million Saudi Arabia…Three firms compete in the style of Cournot. The inverse demand is P(Q) = a - Q. Scenario 1: All three firms have the same constant marginal cost MC = c. Scenario 2: Firm 1 has MC = 0.5c, Firm 2 has MC = c, and Firm 3 has MC = 1.5c. Assume that a > 3c. Which of the following is correct? (Price means the price in Nash equilibrium.) O Price in scenario 1> Price in scenario 2 O Price in scenario 2> Price in scenario 1 O Price in scenario 1 = Price in scenario 2 O Any of the first three options is possible depending on the value of a O Any of the first three options is possible depending on the value of a and c.
- Suppose we have two identical fırms A and B, selling identical products. They are the only firms in the market and compete by choosing quantities at the same time. The Market demand curve is given by P=390-Q. The only cost is a constant marginal cost of $14. Suppose Firm A produces a quantity of 57 and Firm B produces a quantity of 44. If Firm A decides to increase its quantity by 1 unit while Firm B continues to produce the same 44 units, what is the Marginal Revenue for Firm A from this extra unit? Enter a number only, no $ sign. Don't forget to include the negative sign if revenue decreases. 231Consider the following Cournot game with two firms i = 1, 2. The demand function is P(Q) = 100 − Q, with Q = q1 + q2. The production costs for firm i are: C(qi) = 400 + 2qi . Find the nash equilibrium of this game. plz answer correct calculatuon asap plz dont answer by pepar. Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets: Padmania and Capturesque. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. Capturesque Pricing High Low Padmania Pricing High 9, 9 3, 15 Low 15, 3 7, 7 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $15 million, and Capturesque will earn a profit of $3 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms. If Padmania prices high, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Padmania prices low, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a price. If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania…
