Question

(3) Assume that s = 3.
(a) Find firm B’s profit function under the subsidy. (No work required.)
(b) Find firm B’s best response function.(You may do this directly or by setting s to zero in your
expressions from (1b).
(c) Why don’t I need to ask you to solve for A’s best response?
(d) Solve for the equilibrium outputs (q*A, q*b ).
(e) Solve for the equilibrium price.
(f) Solve for firm B profits.

All question are with regards to the following set up. There are two firms A and B. Firms
compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qa and qB. Inverse demand is
P(qA + qB) = 18 – qA – qB and costs are C(q)
(in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages
in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B
produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s * qB from the government.)
You must show your work at each step, unless the questions is followed by "No work required."
3 * q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm
