Consider a homogeneous-product duopoly where each firm initially produces at a constant marginal cost of $200 and there are no fixed costs. Determine what would happen to each firm’s equilibrium output and profits if firm 2’s marginal cost increased to $210 but firm 1’s marginal cost remained constant at $200 in each of the following settings: a. Cournot duopoly. b. Sweezy oligopoly.

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution. The inverse market demand in a homogeneous-product Cournot duopoly is P = 200 – 2(Q1 + Q2) and costs are C1(Q1) = 26Q1 and C2(Q2) = 32Q2. Firm 1: Q1 = ? - Q2Firm 2: Q2 = ? - Q1 b. Calculate each firm’s equilibrium output.Firm 1:Firm 2: c. Calculate the equilibrium market price.$ d. Calculate the profit each firm earns in equilibrium.Firm 1: $Firm 2: $

With formula

Consider the Bertrand model and answer the question below related to the content. Assume that each firm in the Bertrand Duopoly model can only choose non-negative integer quantities: 0, 1, 2, ... . Assume the demand is Q(P)=10-P and the marginal cost is 0 for each firm. Given this information, which of the following is FALSE? [Hint: Check values of profit functions.]   A. If firm 2 sets price equal to 1, then the best response of firm 1 to this price is 1   B. If firm 2 sets price equal to 4, then the best response of firm 1 to this price is 4   C. If firm 2 sets price equal to 2, then the best response of firm 1 to this price is 1

A market is served by two firms in Cournot competition, each with a constant marginal cost of $100. The market inverse demand curve is P = 2,000 – 50 Q, where Q is the total market output produced by the two firms, q 1 + q 2. What is Firm 1's reaction function? A. q1 = 400 – 100q2 B. q1 = 19 – 0.5q2 C. q1 = 400 – 0.2P D. q1 = 210 – q2
