Suppose the market demand curve (D) in an oligopoly market characterized by a dominant firm and a fringe is given by Q = 25 - 2P. The fringe supply curve is given by QF = -1 + 0.3P. If the marginal cost of production for the dominant is $3, calculate the market price and total output produced by the dominant firm and the fringe
a. Q = 14.42 units and P = $8.64 b. Q = 10.69 units and P = $7.15 c. Q = 12.69 units and P = $6.5 d. Q = 8.74 units and P = $5.15
