1. Suppose there are two firms who are Cournot duopolists (set quantity simultaneously) in the wine business. The inverse demand for wine is given by P(Q) = 300 – 0.20. One firm has marginal costs of $45 and the other firm has marginal costs of S30. What is the total output produced in the market?
Suppose you are employed at a monopolistic company as a research (pricing) economist and you are deriving the behavior of two markets based on demand curves given by: Di(P1) 3 50 — Pі D:(p>) — 50 — 2р2 Assume that the marginal cost is constant at $8 a unit. (a) If it can price discriminate, what price should it charge in each market in order to maximize profits? (b) If it can't price discriminate, what price should it charge?
Only typed answer Two firms both produce leather boots. The inverse demand equation is given by P = 340 - 2Q, where P is the price of boots in USD/pair and Q is quantity of boots in million pair. The cost function is given by: C(Q) = 40Q. If the two firms are Stackelberg oligopolists), the output of the leader is equal to: 1) 60 2) 80 3) 75 4) 900
2 A firm is a monopolistic producer of two goods G1 and G2. The prices are related to quantities Q, and Q, according to the demand equations P, = 50 - 0, P,= 95 – 30. If the total cost function is TC = Q; + 30.0. + Q show that the firm's profit function is *= 500, - 20 + 950, - 40 - 30.0. Hence find the values of Q, and Q, which maximize a and deduce the corresponding prices.

2. Consider a monopolistic competitive industry with 4 firms producing the same good. The (inverse) demand for the good is given as: p=30-Q where is total units of the good produced by the firms: Q = Eq. Each firm chooses their output qi to maximize profits. The cost of producing q units of output is the same for all firms: C(qi) = 6qi for all i = 1, ..., 4. (a) Suppose all 4 firms choose their outputs at the same time (i.c., Cournot model), what will be the profit-maximizing outputs for each firm. [Note: Firms are iden- tical and face the same demand curve, hence model is symmetric]
