a) Assume there are two firms, 1 and 2, competing as Cournot duopolists in a market, selling a homogeneous product. Demand is given by p = 36 – (q1 + q2), where p is price and q1 and q2 are the outputs of firms 1 and 2 respectively. Each firm faces a marginal cost of 6 per unit of output and no fixed cost. Find each firm’s optimal output, the price at which they sell, each firm’s profit , and consumer surplus.  b) Now assume that the firms face the same costs, but horizontally differentiate their product, so that firm 1 faces demand p1 = 36 – (q1 + q2/2) and firm 2 faces demand p2 = 36 – (q1/2 + q2). Assume Cournot competition. Calculate the new equilibrium prices and outputs for each firm, consumer surplus and profits.  c) Now assume that rather than facing a given degree of product differentiation, the firms can choosehowdifferentiatedtheirproductsare.Thisisequivalenttoinversedemandequationsp1 =36 –(q1 +θq2)andp2 =36–(θq1 +q2),0≤θ≤1,withθdeterminedbythefirms’choicesofproduct…
