Pаrt 2 Optiоn 3: Cоurnоt/Cаrtel or Cournot/Merger: An industry consists of three firms with identicаl costs C(q)=20q Market demand is: Q=400-P(i) What is the Cournot industry equilibrium (price, output and profits per firm)? Now assume firms 1 and 2 form a cartel. Let the total cartel output be denoted Qc, and the output per cartel firm be qc. The cartel will Cournot compete with the third firm. The non-cartel’s output is q3. Note: you should know how this problem changes if the cost function had a squared term. For example: c(q)=20q+q2. Also, instead of a cartel, the scenario could ask you to calculate what would happen if there was a merger. (ii) What are the Nash Equilibrium values of total output produced by the cartel firms (Qc), output per cartel firm (qc), and output of the non-cartel firm (q3)? Take all calculations to the second decimal. (iii) Solve for the market price, and profit per cartel member. Does it pay for the two firms to form a cartel? For simplicity, assume there is no chance of getting caught or having a penalty imposed. Explain your reasoning.(iv) What happens to the market share of the two firms that form the cartel (share of total output in the industry produced by these two firms) compared to the Cournot outcome? Calculate the share before and after the cartel. Also, calculate the market share of the non-cartel member before and after the cartel. Does the non-cartel firm gain as a result of the cartel? Explain your reasoning.(v) If all tree firms formed a cartel, and there was a .3 or 30% chance of getting caught, what is the minimum penalty the government would need to impose in order to deter collusion?
