In the Challenge Solution's mathematical model, how much does Firm 1's profit change as the subsidy, s, increases? In tiſe Challenge Solution, assume two firms face an inverse demand function of p=a-bQ and the marginal cost of each firm is m. A per-unit subsidy, s, given to both firms, reduces each firm's after-subsidy marginal cost to m-s. The best-response function for Firm 1 is 1 91 a-m + S 2b Ela 292 and the best-response function for Firm 2 is 92 a-m+ S 2b 291 Solving, each firm maximizes profits by producing such that 9- a-m + S Зb A change in the subsidy changes each firm's profit by dri ds 2 816 for i= 1 and 2.
