Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

First, Q = 100q since all firms are identical. This gives two points: (p = 2, Q = 0 ) and
(p = 10, Q = 1000 ). From the first point, it is known that p = 2 + bQ. When Q = 1000, 10 = 2 + b(1000 ). Solving for b yields b = .008. Rearranging to solve for Q yields: Q = -250 + 125p or P= 2 + .008Q.
