The information in the table below shows the total demand for premium-channel digital cable TV subscriptions in a small urban market. Assume that each digital cable TV operator pays a fixed cost of $200,000 (per year) to provide premium digital channels in the market area and that the marginal cost of providing the premium channel service to a household is zero.   1. Assume there are two profit-maximizing digital cable TV companies operating in this market. Further assume that they are not able to collude on the price and quantity of premium digital channel subscriptions to sell, how many premium digital channel cable TV subscriptions will be sold altogether and what price will be charged when this market reaches a Nash equilibrium?   2. Under the conditions given in Question #3 of this problem, how much profit will each firm earn when this market reaches a Nash equilibrium?   3. What is the socially efficient level of digital premium channel subscriptions for this market and at what price will each subscription be sold?
