b. An industry is characterized by a duopoly where Firm 1 produces good y₁ and Firm 2 produces good y2. The goods are differentiated substitutes and the inverse demand functions facing Firm 1 and Firm 2 respectively are as follows: PI=200-5y₁-4y2 P2=300-4y₁-10y2 The costs for Firm 1 and Firm 2 respectively are: ci(yi) = 5y₁² c2(y2) = 3y₂² i. If Firm 1 is the leader in this industry (that is, Firm 1 moves first and Firm 2 makes decisions only after observing Firm I's choice; Firm 1 knows Firm 2 will observe its choice), and both firms compete on price, determine the equilibrium price and profit for each firm. (8 points) ii. If these firms decide to collude, and assuming that they decide to set quantity instead of prices, determine the equilibrium quantity, price and profit for each firm. (8 points)
