You are the manager of a firm that competes against four other firms by bidding for
government contracts. While you believe your products is better than the
competition, the government purchasing agent views the products as identical and
purchases from the firm offering the best price. Total government demand is Q = 750
– 8P and all five firms produce at a constant marginal cost of $50. For security
reasons, the government has imposed restrictions that permit a maximum of five
firms to compete in this market; thus entry by new firms is prohibited. A member of
Congress is concerned because no restrictions have been placed on the price that
the government pays for this product. In response, she has proposed legislation that
would award each existing firm 20% of a contract for 270 units at a contracted price
of $60 per unit. Would you support or oppose this legislation? Explain. (Hint: Absent
the legislation, the market will be a Bertrand oligopoly with a homogeneous product.
In this case, what will be your profit? If the legislation is adopted, what then will be
your profit? Which is bigger?)
