Multiple Choice

An industry consists of two firms producing identical goods. The market demand for the combined output of both firms is (Q_A + Q_B) = 500 !0.5P. The total cost function of each firm is TC_i = 250 + 50Q_i, where i = A,B. Firm B's best-response function is:

A) Q_B = 200 !0.25Q_A.
B) Q_B = 600 !0.5Q_A.
C) Q_B = 50 !0.5Q_A.
D) Q_B = 250 !0.25Q_A.
E) Q_B = 250 !0.5Q_A."
