if we don't do something about the large amount of unsold computers already manufactured, our auditors will require us to record a writo down. the resulting loss for 2021 will cause a violation of our debt covenants and force the company into bankruptcy. i suggest that you ship half of our inventory to j. b. sales, inc., in oklahoma city. i know the company's president, and he will accept the inventory and acknowledge the shipment as a purchase. we can record the sale in 2021 whih will boost our loss to a profit. then j. b sales will simply return the inventory in 2022 after the financial statements have boon issued.

Consider a two-firm industry. firm 1 (the incumbent) chooses a level of output q1. firm 2 (the potential entrant) observes q1 and then chooses its level of output q2. the demand for the product is p = 100 - q, where q is the total output sold by the two firms which equals q1 +q2. assume that the marginal cost of each firm is zero. a) find the subgame perfect equilibrium levels of q1 and q2 keeping in mind that firm 1 chooses q1 first and firm 2 observes q1 and chooses its q2. find the profits of the two firms-? 1 and ? 2- in the subgame perfect equilibrium. how do these numbers differ from the cournot equilibrium? b) for what level of q1 would firm 2 be deterred from entering? would a rational firm 1 have an incentive to choose this level of q1? which entry condition does this market have: blockaded, deterred, or accommodated? now suppose that firm 2 has to incur a fixed cost of entry, f > 0. c) for what values of f will entry be blockaded? d) find out the entry deterring level of q1, denoted by q1b, as a function of f. next, derive the expression for firm 1
