Suppose that three firms compete Ă la Cournot. The inverse demand function is given by p = 120 - 12Q and the cost function of each of the three firms is given by TCi(qi) = 10qi. Find the equilibrium quantity produced by each firm.
Added by Jose Francisco M.
Step 1
The total quantity produced in the market is the sum of the quantities produced by each firm. Let's denote the quantity produced by firm i as qi. Therefore, the total quantity produced in the market is Q = q1 + q2 + q3. Show more…

Suppose the inverse demand function for two Cournot duopolists is given by P = 10 – (Q1 + Q2) and their costs are zero. What is each firm’s marginal revenue and reaction functions? Determine the Cournot equilibrium outputs and equilibrium price. What is the implication of this model?

Suppose a single firm produces all of the output in a contestable market. Analysts determine that the market inverse demand function is P = 300 -5Q, and the firm’s cost function is C(Q) = 10Q. Determine the firm’s equilibrium price and corresponding profits.

Two firms compete in a market to sell a homogeneous product with an inverse demand function P = 600 - 3Q. Each firm produces at a constant marginal cost of $300 and has no fixed costs. Use this information to compare the output levels and profits in settings characterized by Cournot, Stackelberg, Bertrand, and collusive behavior. Please explain the answers.
