CHAPTER 9 OLIGOPOLY AND FIRM ARCHITECTURE 1. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 370 – P The firm’s marginal cost function is given below: MC = 10 + 4Q Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. Solution: P = 370 – Q so TR = 370Q – Q2 and MR = 370 – 2Q MR = 370 – 2Q = 10 + 4Q = MC so Q = 60 and P = 310 2. The demand function for a product sold by an oligopolist is given below: QD = 135 – 0.5P The firm’s marginal cost function is given
