A firm produces and sells a product in two separate markets, A and B. The demand functions for the two markets are given by the following relationships. QA = a − bPA and QB = c − dPB The total cost of production is given by the following function. C(QA ,QB ) =  + (QA + QB ) Note that a,b,c, d, and  are positive constants. (a) Find profit maximizing output levels and prices and maximum profit in terms of the constants.
There are two firms who will compete on quantity. The market demand is D(P)=190-3P. Both firms initially have a marginal cost of 10. However, if the first firm makes an investment of 100, it can lower its marginal cost to 5. Will it?
Suppose the inverse demand for a monopolist’s product is given by P = 70-0.5Q. The monopolist can produce output in two plants. The marginal coat of producing in plant 1 is MC1 = 3Q1 and the marginal cost of producing in plant 2 is MC2 = Q2. How much output should be produce in each plat to maximize profit? And what price should be charged? Compare to perfect competition, monopolist charged higher price and supply less quantity with long run firm equilibrium. Discuss using suitable graph. Explain the deadweight loss of monopolization
Consider the following voting game. There are three players, 1, 2 and 3. And there are three alternatives: A, B and C. Players vote simultaneously for an alternative. Abstaining is not allowed. Thus, the strategy space for each player is {A, B, C}. The alternative with the most votes wins. If no alternative receives a majority, then alternative A is selected. Denote ui(d) the utility obtained by player i if alternave d � {A, B, C} is selected. The payoff functions are, u1 (A) = u2 (B) = u3 (C) = 2 u1 (B) = u2 (C) = u3 (A) = 1 u1 (C) = u2 (A) = u3 (B) = 0 a. Let us denote by (i, j, k) a profile of pure strategies where player 1’s strategy is (to vote for) i, player 2’s strategy is j and player 3’s strategy is k. Show that the pure strategy profiles (A,A,A) and (A,B,A) are both Nash equilibria. b. Is (A,A,B) a Nash equilibrium? Comment.

Discuss the following statement: “Since supply and demand curves are always shifting due to various demand and supply-side disturbances, markets never actually reach an equilibrium. Therefore, the concept of equilibrium is useless.”
