Citroen and Renault both produce sedan cars for the Turkish market. The demand curves for Citroen and Renault are given, respectively, by
šš¶ = 50,000ā2šš¶ + šš
šš
= 100,000ā2šš
+ šš¶
šš¶ and šš
stand for the number of cars produced per year for the Turkish market for Citroen and Renault, respectively. The marginal cost of each carrier is 10,000 TL per car.
a) If Citroen sets a price of 20,000 TL, what is the equation of Renaultās demand curve and marginal revenue curve? What is Renaultās profit-maximizing price when Citroen sets a price of 20,000 TL?
b) Redo part (a) under the assumption that Citroen sets a price of 40,000 TL.
c) Derive the equations for Citroenās and Renaultās price reaction curves.
d) What is the Bertrand equilibrium in this market?
