Assume that two firms produce perfect substitutes. Market demand is p = 13 – Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Both firms have constant marginal cost of 4. Suppose they perform as Cournot oligopolists. Determine the price and outputs.

Consider two identical firms (firm 1 and firm 2) that face a linear market demand curve. Each firm has a marginal cost of zero, and the two firms together face demand: P = 150 - 0.25Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Find the Cournot equilibrium quantity and market price for each firm. (10)

Consider two firms with constant marginal and average costs, and equal to 10. Market demand is Q = 500 - 20P. Firms choose quantities simultaneously as in the Cournot model. The solution for the Nash Equilibrium gives a total output equal to?? and total market profit equal to??
A Cournot Oligopoly (duopoly) exists where the market demand function facing each of the two firms is P = 4 - (Q1 + Q2) , where Q = (Q1 + Q2) and the MC facing each firm is zero. If the two firms form a cartel, what is the market quantity (Q) and market price (P) that will prevail?
