If a certain market were a monopoly, then the monopolist would maximize its profit by producing 4,000 units of output. If, instead, that market were a duopoly, then which of the following outcomes would be more likely if the duopolist successfully collude? A. Each duopolist produces 4,000 units of output. B. One duopolist produces 3,000 units of output and the other produces 1,500 units of output. C. One duopolist produces 2,200 units of output and the other produces 1,800 units of output. D. Each duopolist produces 1,500 units of output.

Say that an industry consists of two identical firms, where the market demand is given by: Q = 400 – 10p Q is the industry output, and p is the price per unit. Assume that each firm produces with zero costs. (a) Find the equilibrium output and price if the two act as Cournot duopolists. (b) Compare the price and output found in (a) with that which would exist if (i) the industry was perfectly competitive, and (ii) the industry was a simple monopoly.
