Consider a homogenous goods market with the demand
function q= 30-p where Q and P denote quantity and price respectively.
There are two firms playing a price game in the following manner: firm1
quotes a price and then firm2 chooses a price. When they charge the same
price they share the market equally and otherwise the market demand goes
to the firm charging lower price. Firm 1 has a capacity constraint at the
output level 5 units such that upto five units the marginal cost of production
is Rs 3 per unit of output, however beyond 5 units it cannot produce any
output. Firm 2 does not have any capacity constraint, it can produce any
amount with the marginal cost Rs 6. What would be the equilibrium price
in the market?
a. 3
(b) 6
(c) 6- E ( E is small positive number)
d. 6+ E
