1. (20 points). Cournot Oligopoly with firms with different costs Firm A and Firm B sell identical versions of the textbook \"Intermediate Microeconomics.\" As in the example in class, total market demand for the book is: $Q(P) = 30,000 - 200P$ The inverse demand function is therefore $P(Q_M) = 150 - 0.005Q_M$ Where $Q_M$ is total market production. That is: $Q_M = Q_A + Q_B$ As a result the inverse demand function is: $P(Q_A, Q_B) = 150 - 0.005Q_A - 0.005Q_B$ The difference between this example and the example in class is that the two firms have different cost functions. Firm A's costs are the same as in class, but firm B's are different. $TC_A(Q_A) = 60Q_A$ $TC_B(Q_B) = 66Q_B$ a. (5 points) Find firm A's best response function Hint: First, find firm A's profit function. Then use this to calculate what firm A's best response is to firm B's deciding to produce $Q_B$ b. (5 points) Find firm B's best response function c. (5 points) Find the Nash Equilibrium to this game Hint: Using the best response functions you calculated in the previous question, calculate the Nash Equilibrium in this game. d. (5 points) Use the profit functions you calculated earlier to calculate profits for both firms in this example. Which firm has higher profits? Why do you think this is? EXPLAIN

Texts: Complete the problem using Excel formula D E F G H 1 J K L M A C P-17: Costs of retained earnings and new common stock LO11-3 Compute K and K under the following circumstances: D = $5.00, P = $70, g = 8%, F = $7.00. D = $0.22, P = $28, g = 7%, F = $2.50. Earnings at the end of period one = $7, payout ratio equals 40%, P = $30, g = 6.0%, F = $2.20. D (dividend at the beginning of the first period) = $6, growth rate for dividends and earnings g = 7%, P = $60, F = $3. Note: Common stock financing is available through the retention of earnings belonging to current stockholders or by issuing new common stock; the latter is more costly due to the "Float" or selling cost.

Part I: True or False and explain your answer (3 points): 1) Michelle's business produces ceramic cups using labor, clay, and a kiln. She can produce 25 cups a day with one worker and 35 with two workers. Her production process necessarily illustrates a decreasing returns to scale. 2) Suppose in a firm where capital and labor are the only inputs, both capital and labor were fixed in the short run. The isoquant is a linear line with a downward slope. 3) One would expect to find a few relatively large firms in an industry where returns to scale are increasing over wide ranges of output. 4) If the product function is $Q = 10K^{0.4}L^{0.5}M^{0.5}$, the production function exhibits an constant return to scale. 5) \"I paid $25 for the materials to make these flower arrangements, and sold them at the craft fair for $25, so I just broke even.\" 6) An increase in fixed cost increases marginal cost. 7) Average productivity will fall as long as marginal product is falling. 8) Long-run average cost is never greater than short-run average cost.

Q. 03 (PLO2, CLO1, C3) marks (15) Estimated Time: 25 minutes An aero plane is flying through still air having a pressure of 78.5 kN/m² (abs.). Speed $V$, of aero plane and air temperature, $T$ are; $V = (500 + 4 \times \text{Last 2 digits of your SAP #})$, km/hr $T = - \text{Last 2 digits of your SAP #}$, $^\circ C$ Compute at the stagnation point on the nose of the plane: (i) Stagnation pressure, $p_o$ (ii) Stagnation temperature (in $^\circ C$), $T_o$ and (iii) Stagnation density, $\rho_o$ Take for air : Density, $\rho = 1.2 \text{ kg/}m^3$, $R = 287 \text{ J/kg K}$ and $k = 1.4$. Use the appropriate formulae given in the slides on this topic. (05) (05) (05)
