Firm 2 chooses how much to supply after observing the quantity supplied by firm 1. The market demand is Q = 100 - 10P. For firm i, the total cost of production is TC (q) = 5q₁.

Consider two ice cream sellers competing at a beach that is 1000 metres long. Ice cream prices are fixed by the ice cream company, but companies can choose their locations simultaneously. Customers are located uniformly (spread out evenly on the beach) and do not like walking. The cost of walking every metre is the same (i.e. linear cost). a) Suppose there are three ice cream sellers that locate simultaneously. Find the Nash equilibrium is there is one. Else, explain why there is none. (Focus on pure strategy Nash equilibria)
Two firms operating in the same market must decide between charging a high price or a low price. The Payoffs are as below. Firm A's profit is listed before the comma, B's profit after the comma. Firm B Firm A Low Price High Price Low Price 16, 17 7, 28 High Price 28, 7 22, 22 If each firm tries to choose a price that is optimal, regardless of the other firm's price, what is the Nash equilibrium? Does either firm have a dominant strategy?
Jane and Sara are competing orange juice salespersons in Amherst. Their stands are next to each other on a street and consumers regard them as identical. The marginal cost of an orange juice is $1. The demand for orange juice every hour is Q = 20 − P where P is the lowest price between the two salespersons. If their prices are equal they split demand equally. a. If they set prices simultaneously (prices can be any real number), what is the Nash equilibrium price? b. If, against what we have assumed in class, orange juice salespersons have to charge prices in whole dollars ($1, $2, $3, etc), what are the Nash equilibrium prices? c. Assuming whole dollar pricing, if Jane sets her price before Sara, what price would she charge? Answer all 3 parts
Consider two firms choosing quantities sequentially in a duopoly setting (i.e. the Stackelberg game). The two firms have identical products. Each firm has no fixed costs, and faces marginal costs equal to 5 plus the quantity it produces (i.e. MC = 5 + q). Market demand is given by Q = 46 - P, where Q is market quantity and P is market price. In equilibrium, how much will the firm that moves first produce?
Two firms produce Bliffs. They compete by simultaneously choosing prices in a single period. The demand for Bliffs is given by P(Q) = 100-2Q where Q is market quantity and P is market price. Firm 1 has costs C1(q1) = 20q1 and Firm 2 has costs C2(q2) = 10q2. Which statement is true? In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms play dominated strategies None of the other answers are correct O In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms play dominant strategies In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms slowly lower prices towards marginal costs O In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms set price equal to marginal cost
Consider the following static game with two firms as the players. Each firm must decide either to upgrade (U) an existing good to a new version; or not upgrade it (N). The decisions are simultaneous. If a firm chooses to upgrade, they have to pay a fixed cost of 7. If they don’t upgrade, there is no fixed cost. The marginal cost is always equal to 3. The demand side of the market is as follows: If neither firm upgrades, each firm sells 2 units at price 4. If both firms upgrade, each firm sells 3 units at price 5. If only one firm upgrades, the one who upgrades sells 5 units at price 5, and the other firm does not sell anything.
Consider a market organized along a 1 mile stretch of road (from D=0 to D=1). Consumers along the stretch of road are uniformly distributed. There are two firms, with Firm 1 located at mile marker .5 and Firm 2 located at mile marker 1.0 and they compete on prices. Customers choose which store to shop at according to P + cD, where c=2 and D is the distance to the store. What is the Nash Equilibrium?

Problem 5.1. The inverse market demand for printer paper is given by P = 400 – 2Q. There are two firms who compete to produce this paper, each with a marginal cost of production equal to c = 40 over a large range of output (ie, assume constant marginal cost). The two firms compete in quantities, in other words they each simultaneously choose a quantity to produce (Cournot competition). Derive the Cournot-Nash equilibrium of this game. Please write final answers in the boxes, showing work in blank areas. (a) The reaction function for each firm. 91 (92): 92 (91) (b) Optimal output q for each firm. 92 = р = = π1 = (c) Market price (from demand curve). (d) Firm profits. 92 = π2 =
where is the nash equilibrium? find out the dominant strategy. it was discovered that two domestic manufacturing companies were fixing prices. if each company is silent, there is no penalty, but production and business are disrupted due to continuous investigation by the Fair Trade Commission. The penalty for revealing the estimated loss due to the investigation and collusion is as follows: Firm 2 Silence Disclosure Silence -200, -200 -590, 0 Firm 1 Disclosure 0, -590 -450, -450 fine( a hundred million won)
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 10 15 20 25 30
Consider a Stackelberg duopoly:There are two firms in an industry with demand Q = 1 − Pd.The “leader” chooses a quantity qL to produce. The “follower” observes qL and chooses a quantity qF.Suppose now that the cost function is Ci(qi) = qi2 for i = L, F. (a) Find the subgame perfect equilibrium. (b) Compare the equilibrium you found with the Nash equilibrium if the game was simultaneous (i.e., Cournot competition). Is the Nash equilibrium of the Cournot game also a Nash equilibrium of the sequential game? Why or why not?
