Two firms, X and Y, are involved in a price war. The demand equations for each firm are the following: Qx 52 2Px + Py Qy = 52 - 2Py + Px Further, assume the cost of each unit of out is constant at $4. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? (Use the best response functions in a graph to answer) There is no Nash equilibrium $24 $20

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose two firms produce identical good. The inverse demand curve for the good is: P = 240-Q, where Q is the total quantity produced by the two firms. Each firm has a constant marginal cost 20 of producing the good and fixed cost = 100. Find the Cournot Nash equilibrium of this game. What quantity will each firm produce? what will be the market price? What would be the profits of each firm?

GAME THEORY: Two countries produce oil. The per unit production cost of Country 1 is C1 = $2 and of country 2 it is C2 = $4. The total demand for oil is Q = 40-p where p is the market price of a unit of oil. Each country can only produce either 5 units, 10 units or 15 units. The total production of the two countries in a Nash equilibrium is: A. 10 B. 15 C. 20 D. 25 E. 30
