Suppose market inverse demand function is p(y)=100-Yt where Yt is total production in the market. Assume that there are two firms with following marginal cost MC(firm 1)=Y1 MC(firm 2)=2*Y2+10  Assume that Yt=Y1+Y2 Set up profit function for both firms. What is the best response function of each firm by taking into account action of other firm? What output level is going to be produced by each firm in equilibrium? Assume that Firm 1 is leader in the market and going to act first. What will be the best response and output level of firm 2. What is difference between previous and new situation? Why? What is difference between Bertrand and previous competition? How would you like to find equilibrium price?
