Market demand curve: P = 400-2(Q1+Q2) MC1 = MC2 = 40 Compute reaction function of each firm as below: Equate MRI = MC1 400-4Q1-2Q2 = 40 360-202 = 4Q1 Q1* = 90-0.5Q2 Similarly, Q2* = 90-0.5Q1 Substitute the reaction function of each firm into each other. This gives: Q1 = Q2 = 60 P = $160 Profit of each firm = (P-MC)Q = (160-40)60 = $7200 Market profits = 7200+7200 = $14400
