The inverse demand for a homogeneous-product Stackelberg duopoly is P = 16,000 - 4Q. The cost structures for the leader and the follower, respectively, are CL(QL) = 4,000QL and CF (QF) = 6,000QF..
a. What is the follower's reaction function?
QF = - QL
b. Determine the equilibrium output level for both the leader and the follower.
Leader output:
Follower output:
c. Determine the equilibrium market price.
d. Determine the profits of the leader and the follower.
