Question

You are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spyder Technologies. The two firms’ products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Qi) 4Qi, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P 160 2Q. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions, and the price you fetch for the product depends on the total amount produced by each firm. However, by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $200, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes production plans. Should you invest the $200? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Well,i say this because if Taurus is able to launch its product way before other competitors they will make more profit and can use those $200 to invest on other parts of the business like hiring more workers or buying machines to help in productivity and therefore make more sales and be able to expand profit.
