Question:

Suppose there are \(n\) firms selling a homogeneous product at a constant marginal cost, \(m=5\), in a Cournot market. The inverse market demand curve is \(p=20-Q\), where \(Q=n q\). What is the output of each firm and the market quantity and price when the number of firms is \(1,2,14\), and 60 ? What are the competitive market quantity and price? As the number of firms increases, what happens to the firms' market power as measured by the Lerner Index?
