Question 1
Two symmetric duopolists compete in quantities (Cournot competition) facing market inverse demand P = 120 - Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Both firms have constant marginal costs MC = 12 and no fixed costs. What is the Nash equilibrium output for each firm and the resulting market price?
Correct Answer:
Each firm produces 36 units; market price is 48
Question 2
Two firms produce identical homogeneous goods and compete simultaneously on price (Bertrand duopoly). Both firms have constant marginal cost MC = $15 per unit. Which outcome characterizes the unique Nash equilibrium of this market?
Correct Answer:
Both firms set price equal to marginal cost ($15) and earn zero economic profit
Question 3
In a Bertrand price-competition game with asymmetric constant marginal costs, Firm 1 has MC1 = $10 and Firm 2 has MC2 = $15. Goods are perfectly homogeneous. Assuming prices can be quoted in smallest monetary increments (e.g. cents), what is the Nash equilibrium market price and market allocation?
Correct Answer:
Firm 1 sets price just below $15 (e.g., $14.99) and captures the entire market
Question 4
In a Stackelberg sequential quantity-setting duopoly with inverse demand P = 100 - Q and MC = 10, Firm 1 chooses output first and Firm 2 chooses output second. What is the equilibrium output of the leader (Firm 1) and follower (Firm 2)?
Correct Answer:
Firm 1 produces 45 units; Firm 2 produces 22.5 units
Question 5
In a standard simultaneous-move Prisoner's Dilemma matrix game between two firms deciding whether to Cooperate (maintain high price) or Defect (cut price), which statement correctly describes a strictly dominant strategy?
Correct Answer:
Defecting yields a higher payoff for a player regardless of the strategy chosen by the opponent
