Suppose two firms with differentiated products are competing on price. The reaction curve for Firm 1 is P₁ = 4 + 0.5 P2, and the reaction curve for Firm 2 is P2 = 2 + P1. What is the equilibrium price outcome in this market? Select one: a. P₁ = 10 and P2 = 8 P1 ○ b. P₁ = 10 and P2 = 12 c. P₁ = P2 = 8 ○ d. P₁ = 4 and P2 = 6 e. P₁ = P2 = 4
