2.(40 points) Suppose there are two firms in a market who each simultaneously choose a quantity.Firm 1's quantity is q₁, and firm 2's quantity is q₂.Therefore the market quantity is Q = q₁+ q₂.The market demand curve is given by P = 100 - 4Q.Also, each firm has constant marginal cost equal to 28.There are no fixed costs.

The marginal revenue of the two firms are given by:

MR₁= 100 - 8q₁- 4q₂

MR₂= 100 - 4q₁- 8q₂.
