Question
The inverse demand for a homogeneous product Stackelberg duopoly is
P = 14000 – 20.
The cost functions for the leader and follower are C(Q) = 2000Q, and C;(QF) = 4000Q,
respectively.
a) What is the follower's revenue function?
Note that MRF = 14,000-2Q1-4QF and MCF = 4,000.
b) What is the follower's reaction curve?
c) Determine the equilibrium output level for both the leader and the follower. [Note
that for a quadratic revenue function R(Q)=aQ²+bQ+c, it holds that MR(Q)=2aQ+b.]
d) Determine the equilibrium market price.
e) Determine the profits of the leader and the follower.
