If this market were perfectly competitive instead of oligopolistic, what would the price be?

Suppose that Thierry and Abdul are duopolists. Thierry is producing 700 units of output, and Abdul is producing 500 units of output. When Abdul produces 500 units, Thierry maximizes profit by producing 700 units. When Thierry produces 700 units of output, Abdul maximizes profit by producing 500 units. Thierry and Abdul are

Table 18-1 Imagine a small town in which only two residents, Diamond and Jake, own wells that produce safe drinking water. Each week Diamond and Jake work together to decide how many gallons of water to pump. They bring the water to town and sell it at whatever price the market will bear. To keep things simple, suppose that Diamond and Jake can pump as much water as they want without cost so that the marginal cost of water equals zero. The town’s weekly demand schedule and total revenue schedule for water is shown in the following table: ​ Quantity (Gallons) Price (Dollars per gallon) Total Revenue and Total Profit (Dollars) 0  36 0 100 33 3,300 200 30 6,000 300 27 8,100 400 24 9,600 500 21 10,500 600 18 10,800 700 15 10,500 800 12 9,600 900 9 8,100 1,000 6 6,000 1,100 3 3,300 1,200 0 0 ​ ​ ​Refer to Table 18-1. Suppose the town enacts new antitrust laws that prohibit Diamond and Jake from operating as a monopoly. What will be the price of water once Diamond and Jake reach a Nash equilibrium?

Hotels in New York City frequently experience an average vacancy rate of about 20 percent (i.e., on an average night, 80 percent of the hotel rooms are full). This kind of excess capacity is indicative of what kind of market?
