question 30

Multiple Choice

In Problem 6, suppose that two Cournot duopolists serve the Peoria-Dubuque route, and the demand curve for tickets per day is Q = 160 - 2p (so p = 80 - ) . Total costs of running a flight on this route are 400 + 20q, where q is the number of passengers on the flight. Each flight has a capacity of 80 passengers. In Cournot equilibrium, each duopolist will run one flight per day and will make a daily profit of

• A) $800.
• B) $400.
• C) $200.
• D) $160.
• E) $1,600.
