Consider a Cournot oligopoly with two firma, where the demand curves are given by P, = 100-Q,-20, P2= 100-20, -Q2 and that coste are given by TC(Q,) = Q, . MC, = 2Q1. TC(Q2) = Q, and MC2 = 20, Also, marginal revenues can be written as MR, = 100- 2Q,-202.

Consider a Cournot oligopoly with two fimms, where the demand curves are given by
P, = 100-Q,- 202
P2 = 100- 20, - Q2
and that costa are given by TC(Q,) = Q, . MC, = 2Q1. TC(Q2) = Q?2, and MC2 = 2Q2.
Also, marginal revenues can be written as MR, = 100-2Q,- 20,. MR, = 100-20, -2Q,.
Now, suppose that a marketing company approaches firm 1 and tells them that they can help them differentiate their product, so that inatead of firm 2 affecting their demand curve in the manner described by the equation in P1 above, they guarantee that firm 1's demand equation after marketing will be of the form
P, = 100-Q1- BQ2.
where B is estimated to lie somewhere between 0 and 1. In this case, firm 1's marginal revenue function would be
MR, = 100 - 2Q1-BQ2
Without any further information, and knowing only that B will fall somewhere between O and 1, what is the maximum amount firm 1 should be prepared to pay for these marketing servicee?
