Assume the demand curve facing an industry can be represented P = 100 – Q. Suppose that two firms collude in an infinitely repeated game, where each firm has marginal costs of 20 per unit. If firm 1 deviates on the collusive agreement, how much additional profit do they make in the period of deviation versus the profit they were making under collusion?
