A market equilibrium of competing firms according to Cournot Model is more efficient than a monopolistic equilibrium. True or false?
Assume that two firms, Wilson and Spalding, can
manufacture basketballs for the entire Norfolk market, and
that the market is oligopolistic in structure.
Market Demand: Q-120-P
Total Costs: TC-200
Q the quantity of basketballs
P the price of a basketball in $ US
TC the total cost of producing a given quantity of
basketballs (in $ US)
Show all of your work in solving the problems below.
1) The Cournot Model: Now assume that the two firms are
Cournot competitors, and that all the assumptions of the
Cournot model are met: no firm entry, homogeneous
goods, a single period, and that the firms choose the
quantities of basketballs to supply. Now, how many
basketballs will be sold by each firm and at what price?
What will be the total revenues, total costs, and the
profits for each of the two firms? Demonstrate the
model using graphs. (See Figs. 9-3 to 9-10)
2) The Stackelberg Model: Assume that the two firms are
Stackelberg competitors, and that Wilson is the
Stackelberg leader and Spalding…
If a market structure is an oligopoly, do Lexus,
Cadillac, and Lincoln engage in sticky pricing?
Who is the market leader?

- A small town has a duopoly in its tattoo market. Two firms, "Thread the Needle" and "Ink about it" are both competitors. Daily profit is listed in the payoff matrix. The green payouts belong to "Thread the Needle" and the red, "Ink about it". Why does the outcome where they both advertise yield the same profits for both firms than if they didn't advertise? A because advertising doesn't actually work B because advertising increases the average total costs and negatively impact total profit C because one firm is larger than the other firm D because of a collusive agreement between the firmsarrow_forwardSuppose the figure to the right represents the market for a particular brand of shampoo, such as L'Oreal, Lancome, or Maybelline.

- Due to a successful advertising campaign, a monopolistic competitor experiences an increase in demand for its product. In the long run, the positive economic profits that the monopolistic competitor earns will attract a response either from existing firms in the industry or firms outside. As those firms capture the original firm’s profit, what will happen to the original firm’s profit-maximizing price and output levels?arrow_forwardSuppose Eckerd Pharmacy is the only pharmacy in a particular market, but CVS Pharmacy is thinking about entering the market. Absent entry, Eckerd Pharmacy can maximize profits by producing a small quantity. However, by producing a large quantity, Eckerd Pharmacy can attempt to deter entry by reducing prices and, consequently, profits. Eckerd Pharmacy must choose how much to produce first and then CVS Pharmacy will choose whether to enter the industry. The strategies and corresponding profits for Eckerd (E) and CVS Pharmacy (C) are depicted in the decision tree to the right. What is the Nash equilibrium of the game? OA Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the small quantity and CVS Pharmacy will not enter OB. Eckerd Pharmacy will choose the large quantity and CVS Pharmacy will enter. C.
