You are the manager of a small pharmaceutical company that received a patent on a new drug three years ago. despite strong sales ($175 million last year) and a low marginal cost of producing the product ($0.25 per pill), your company has yet to show a profit from selling the drug. this is, in part, due to the fact that the company spent $1.7 billion developing the drug and obtaining fda approval. an economist has estimated that, at the current price of $1.00 per pill, the own price elasticity of demand for the drug is -1.5.
based on this information, what can you do to boost profits?

1. consider a two-firm industry. firm 1 (the incumbent) chooses a level of output qı. firm 2 (the potential entrant) observes qı 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 qi +q2. assume that the marginal cost of each firm is zero. a) find the subgame perfect equilibrium levels of qi and q2 keeping in mind that firm 1 chooses qi first and firm 2 observes qi and chooses its q2. find the profits of the two firms-n1 and t2- in the subgame perfect equilibrium. how do these numbers differ from the cournot equilibrium? b) for what level of qi would firm 2 be deterred from entering? would a rational firm 1 have an incentive to choose this level of qi? 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 q, denoted by q1', a expression for firm l's profit, when entry is deterred, as a function of f. for what values of f would firm 1 use an entry deterring strategy?
