Assume a duopoly market with quantity competition. The market inverse demand is the following: P = 497 - (Q1 + Q2) Where Q1 and Q2 represent the production of firm 1 and 2, respectively. Assume that both firms have the same ATC = MC = 21. If this market was a competitive market rather than a duopoly how much higher would the market quantity be under a competitive marekt than under a duopoly? (hint: get the competitive market quantity and subtract the duopoly quantity, input only numbers in your answer).

Refer to a duopoly market in which the inverse demand function is given by P = 96 − Q. Firm 1's cost function is c(q1) = 6q1 + 300, and firm 2's cost function is c(q2) = 6q2 + 600 (such that each firm has MC = 6). Q1: The outputs of the two firms in Cournot-Nash equilibrium will be: 1) q1 = 45 and q2 = 0. 2) q1 = 30 and q2 = 30. 3) q1 = 45...
