The local cement market is a duopoly with City Cement and Mountain Cement producing quantities q c
Question:
a. Create a spreadsheet with columns for qc, qm, Q, p, and the revenue and profit of each firm. Let qc take on the values of 0 to 16 in increments of 2 and use the spreadsheet to determine the other values in the table. Assuming that Mountain cannot avoid its fixed costs by shutting down, what output level will City Cement choose?
b. Now use the spreadsheet to determine the monopoly output by setting qm = 0 no matter what output City produces. What is the monopoly price and output? How do these amounts compare with the industry price and output for the Stackelberg model?
