Suppose firms A and B operate under conditions of constant marginal and average cost but that MCA

Question:

Suppose firms A and B operate under conditions of constant marginal and average cost but that MCA = 10 and MCB = 8. The demand for the firms' output is given by
Q = 500 – 20P.
a. If the firms practice Bertrand competition, what will the Nash-equilibrium market price be? (It may help to assume that prices can only be in increments of a penny, so that prices of 9.98, 9.99, and 10 are possible, but not 9.995.)
b. What will the profits be for each firm?
c. Which aspects of the Bertrand Paradox show up in this example, if any?
