Two firms operate in a Cournot Duopoly with an inverse market demand function: P = 180 – 3Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Firm 1 has a total cost structure; TC1 = 50 + 2q1 + 2q1 2 and firm 2 had a total cost structure: TC2 = 100 + 3q2 + 3q2 2 . Answer the following questions: a. If both firms wish to compete, what is the optimal quantity for each firm (qi) and the market price? b. What are the profits for each firm from the strategy in part a? c. If both firms choose to collude and not directly compete, what is the new price, quantity, and profits for each firm?
