Question

Concept Question 2.2 Two firms produce the same good and compete against each other in a Cournot market. The market demand for their product is $P = 204 - 4Q$, and each firm has a constant marginal cost of $12 per unit. Let $Q_i$ be the output produced by firm $i$, where $i = 1, 2$. Then, Firm 1's reaction function is A. $Q_1 = 24 - 0.5Q_2$ B. $Q_1 = 24$ C. $Q_1 = 25.5 - 0.5Q_2$ D. $Q_1 = 24 - Q_2$ E. None of the above.

Step 1

A reaction function shows how a firm will respond to changes in the market or to the actions of other firms. In this case, Firm 1's reaction function is given as: Q = 24 - 0.5Q Show more…
