Consider a Stackelberg duopoly with the following inverse demand function: P = 100 − 2Q₁ − 2Q₂.The firms' marginal costs are identical and are given by MC_i(Q_i)= 2.Based on this information,the leader's reaction function is: A) r₁(Q₂) = 24.5 − 0.5Q₁ and r₂(Q₁) = 24.5 − 0.5Q₂. B) r₁(Q₂) = 24.5 − 0.5Q₂ and r₁(Q₂) = 24.5 − 0.5Q₁. C) Q₁ = 49 − 0.5Q₂ and Q₂ = 49 − 0.5Q₁. D) The Stackelberg leader does not react to the output decision of its rival.
