To examine the effects of a subsidy, consider the large passenger jetliners market with two firms that sell identical products, Firm 1 and Firm 2. Without any subsidy, both firms will have the same cost functions of C(q) = 40q and MC = 40. The market demand is P = 100 – Q.
NEED CALCULATION HELP PLEASE!!!
Solve for the Cournot equilibrium price, quantities, and profits for each firm given the same MC= 40.
Compare the deadweight loss in a monopoly, a Cournot duopoly, and a Bertrand duopoly if both firms have the same marginal cost of 40.
How would this market change if Firm 2 receives a subsidy lowering the marginal cost to 25 and Firm 1's marginal cost remains at 40. Calculate new market equilibrium quantity, price, and profits for each firm.
Calculate the change in welfare after the subsidy. In this case welfare is defined as the Firm 2’s profit minus the subsidy. Who gains from the subsidy? Explain
The daily demand of two firms Firm 1 and Firm 2 producing two products is given by :
D1 = 5 - 22P1 + 11P2
D2 = 50 - 22P1 + 11P2
These are the only firms producing the products. MC of Firm 1 is $0.5 per product and MC of Firm 2 is $2 per product.
Q1. Calculate the equilibrium quantity and price of both the firms. You may assume that firms want to maximise the profits.
Q2.Calculate producer surplus and deadweight loss.

- Textbook Exercises ... please helparrow_forwardTwo firms (called firm 1 and firm 2) are the only sellers of a good for which the demand equation is Here, q is the total quantity of the good demanded and p is the price of the good measured in dollars. Neither firm has any fixed costs, and each firm’s marginal cost of producing a unit of goods is $2. Imagine that each firm produces some quantity of goods, and that these goods are sold to consumers at the highest price at which all of the goods can be sold. A Cournot equilibrium in this environment is a pair of outputs (q1, q2) such that, when firm 1 produces q1 units of goods and firm 2 produces q2 units of goods, neither firm can raise its profits by unilaterally changing its output. Find the Cournot equilibrium. Determine whether the price at which the goods are sold exceeds marginal cost.arrow_forwardThere are two movie theaters in the town of Harkinsville: Modern Multiplex (Firm 1) and Galaxy (Firm 2). The demands for each firm are: Q1 = 125 – 3.5P1 + 2P2 and Q2 = 125 – 3.5P2 + 2P1, where quantities are measured in hundreds of moviegoers. Costs per customer are: $4 for Firm 1 and $3 for Firm 2. Instructions: Use no decimals. Use the average cost to calculate monopoly profits. Do not round if values are used to complete other calculations.
