There are no costs of production. The two firms' first-order conditions are a. 18 minus 6 q subscript 1 minus 2 q subscript 2 equals 0 and 12 minus q subscript 1 minus 4 q subscript 2 equals 0 b. 18 minus 3 q subscript 1 minus 2 q subscript 2 equals 0 and 12 minus q subscript 1 minus 2 q subscript 2 equals 0 c. 18 minus 6 q subscript 1 minus 4 q subscript 2 equals 0 and 12 minus 2 q subscript 1 minus 4 q subscript 2 equals 0 d. 18 minus 3 q subscript 1 minus 4 q subscript 2 equals 0 and 12 minus 2 q subscript 1 minus 2 q subscript 2 equals 0
