Question
The market demand in a homogeneous-product Cournot duopoly is P = 113 - 2.2Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2 (Firm 1 and Firm 2), and the costs functions for each firm are: TC1 = 25 + 16.3Q1 and TC2 = 29 + 27.7Q2.
Instructions: Use no decimals. Use the average cost to calculate

- The market inverse demand curve for thrust bearings is P = 15 – 1.5Q, where Q is measured in hundreds of bearings per day and P is the price per bearing. The marginal cost is $3. Suppose two firms, which are Bertrand competitors, produce identical thrust bearings for this market. If this market were monopolized, the market quantity would be 600 200 400 800arrow_forwardSuppose that the perfectly competitive soybean industry in the United States is monopolized. Under perfect competition, the equilibrium price was $2 and quantity was 100,000. The monopolist raises price to $5 and restricts quantity to 70,000. Assume that the monopolist is maximizing profits and that the monopolist faces a linear, upward- sloping marginal cost curve that begins at the origin. Also assume that this marginal cost curve is the industry supply curve under perfect competition. What is the loss in consumer surplus that the monopolist captures in the form of profit? $500,000 $350,000 $300,000 $210,000< a) b)arrow_forwardThere are two ice-cream parols on a beach. The dayly demand for ice-creams is given by Q = 3079 - 3p. The average variable cost of an ice-cream is 70, while the rent of the place is 966. How many ice-creams is the 'Leader' company selling if the two ice-cream stands operate as Stackelberg duopolists? (Please use 2 decimals in your answer.)arrow_forward

- Problem 19 A publishing company has a monopoly in the sales of football cards. According to its estimates, the company's inverse demand function is p = 0.4-0.01q. The company's marginal cost is constant at £0.08. Suppose that the company wants to sell football cards in albums only. Using such a block pricing approach, what will be optimal price that the firm needs to set to maximize its profits? a) £5.12 b) £7.68 c) £2.56 d) £15.36 e) £3.84arrow_forwardConsider the following scenario in a duopoly with homogeneous products: Marginal cost: $21 Market demand: 972 units Competitor's price: $41 Your price: $44 Assuming your competitor maintained their price, what would be your pricing response, and how many units would you expect to sell at that new price? (Enter dollar amounts to the nearest penny and units to the nearest whole number.) Pricing response: Sales: $ unitsarrow_forward= Suppose the inverse demand for a particular good is given by P 1200 12Q. Furthermore, there are only two firms, A and B. Firm A's marginal cost is a constant $25, and Firm B's marginal cost is a constant $20. Assume these two firms engage in Stackelberg competition, where Firm A moves first. If we assume that the firm with the lowest costs could supply the entire market, then the deadweight loss due to the market power these two firms exert through Stackelberg competition equals $_____.
