Homework Answers
A. Profit maximizing price is $3 Per gallon. Total output is 270 gallons. Profit for both is 810/2=$405.
The reason is that a cartel is looking to maximize total profit and not individual profit. Total profit, as shown in table, is maximum 810 at $3 per gallon.
B. Right now both produce 270/2=135 gallons each. If Brian increases his production by 45, he is now producing 135+45=180 gallons. The total production is 180+135=315 gallons. At 315, the price decreases to 2.5 per gallon. So, the profit for Brian is 2.5*180=450, while the profit for Crystal is 2.5*135=337.5.
C. Now the total amount increases by further 45 gallons, so the new total amount is 315+45=360. At this, the price per gallon further decreases to 2$. Brian's profit is 2*180=360. Crystal's profit is 2*180=360. The total profit is 720.
D. Game theory.
