Firm A's Total Cost function is given by TC(%) = 104a and Firm B's is given by TCB(qb) = 104a. 18. Find the value of Q when Firms A and B Cournot compete to maximize profits G.e. when they simultaneously determine profit maximizing output). 19. At what price will Firms A and B sell their output? 20. Suppose that Firm A's total cost function were to change to TCA(qa) = 104A + 50, (so, a fixed cost of 50 has been added). How will Firm A's profit maximizing output level change as a result of this? How will Firm B's profit maximizing output level change as a result of this?

Explanation / Answer

2- profit maximizing output level doesnt change because of this because in the profit function we equate MR = MC, and mc is still 10, thus the only change that will come will be in the total profits on the firm A after the sale has been made, nor will there be any change in the b's profit max level of output.
