1.

The inverse demand curve for sprokets is P = 4,000 - 2(q1 + q2), where the market output Q is the sum of each firm's output of sprokets, q1 + q2 and P is the market price. Spokets can be produced at a constant MC = ATC = 1,000 and all sprokets produced are identical.

Suppose there is a duopoly in the production of sprokets and the firms engage in Stackelberg competition. Firm 1 is the Stackelberg leader. What is Firm 1's profit level?

Consider the following inverse demand function, p(Q) = a-bQ, Q = q1 +q2, where a and b are positive parameters and qi denotes firm i's output, i = 1, 2. Assume that the total cost of firm i is cqi2/2, with c > 0. Firms choose quantities simultaneously and non cooperatively (Cournot competition). The Cournot game described above is infinitely repeated. Firms use grim trigger strategies (infinite Nash reversion). Firms discount future profits at a rate r > 0. a)...
