Widgetco manufactures widgets at two factories, one in Memphis and one in Denver. The Memphis factory can produce as many as 150 widgets per day, and the Denver factory can produce as many as 200 widgets per day. Widgets are shipped by air to customers in Los Angeles and Boston. The customers in each city require 130 widgets per day.

The costs of flying a widget are shown below. Widgetco wants to minimize the total cost of shipping the required widgets to its customers.

Gerät Gebrochen (GG) and Gerät Defektes (GD) compete against each other in the Düsseldorf home appliance market. GG and GB tacitly bargain with each other in determining prices to charge. Each firm can either price high or price low If both price high, each receives 50 MM euros. If one prices high and the other prices low, the low-priced firm receives 70 MM euros and the high-priced firm receives 30 MM euros. If both price low, each receives 40 MM euros. Suppose now that pricing is sequential and each firm commits with certainty to a price-matching guarantee. That is, one firm exactly matches the price of the other firm. Both firms compete against each other in a single period. Under this scenario, what prices do GG and GD charge?   A.
