The market inverse demand curve for a good is P = 37 –
0.4Q, where P is the price in dollars and Q is the industry
quantity. There are only two firms in the industry, producing
identical products. The marginal cost for each firm is constant at
$9.00, and there is no fixed cost. If the two firms in this
industry successfully collude as a cartel, each firm individually
will produce _____ units and the industry price will be
____.
33.3, $11
17.5, $23
15.8, $26
11.5, $29
9.9, $33
An industry consists of two firms. Together, they face
the inverse market demand curve P = 100 – 1.5Q. Both firms have a
constant marginal cost of $46 with no fixed cost. They have formed
an agreement to operate as a cartel, each producing half of the
monopoly output. If both firms abide by the cartel arrangement,
what will be the market price and the amount of profit for each
firm?
Price = $27, Profit = −$19
Price = $37, Profit = −$6
Price = $57, Profit = $90
Price = $63, Profit = $115
Price = $73, Profit = $243
This is a continuation of the prior question. An

marginal cost of $46 with no fixed cost. They have formed an
agreement to operate as a cartel, each producing half of the

agreement by producing one unit more than its assigned quota. What
is the profit for each firm?
