Question

I need help with this question

1) Cournot Model with Asymmetric Information
- Suppose the inverse demand function is P(Q) = 30 – 0.2 × (Qjoe + Qsarah)
- Joe has a constant marginal cost of $10, known to both
- Joe's expectation about Sarah's constant marginal cost is:
12 with probability 0.6
8 with probability 0.4
C2={
Question 1(a): Solve for the above Cournot-Nash equilibrium with asymmetric
information with Sarah as a high cost supplier (C2 = 12 ... unknown to Joe)
Question 1(b): Solve for the above Cournot-Nash equilibrium with asymmetric
information with Sarah as a low cost supplier (C2 = 8 ... unknown to Joe)
Question 1(c): Solve for the above Cournot-Nash equilibrium with complete
information with Sarah as a high cost supplier (C2 = 12 ... known to Joe)
Question 1(d): Solve for the above Cournot-Nash equilibrium with complete
information with Sarah as a low cost supplier (C2 = 8) ... known to Joe)
Question 1(e): If Sarah is a low cost supplier, what is the maximum she would
be willing to spend to convince Joe of her cost ?

DISCLAIMER  “Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first three subparts for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.”

Nash Equilibrium shows a work profile for all players in a game and is utilized to predict the outcome of their decision-making interaction. It models a steady state (i.e., a combination of strategies of total players) in which no player can profit by unilaterally changing its strategy.
