Answer:
see explaination
Explanation:
Since marginal cost is zero in this case. Cartel will select the output such that MR=0
We observe that MR=0 at Q=2000 units
Corresponding price for a output of 2000 units is $1.50
So,
Output of each firm=q=Q/2=2000/2=10000
Profit of each firm=P*q-total cost=1.5*1000-0=$1500
So,
Profit for Quick Buch=$1500
Profit for Pushy Sales=$1500
Since Quick buck reduces the price to $1, it will capture the whole quantity demanded
Total quantity demanded at price of $1=3000
Profit for quick buck=P*Q-Total Cost=1*3000-0=$3000
Profit for Pushy Sales=P*Q-Total Cost=1.5*0-0=$0
