EOC 17.07 Imagine the potato chip market is made up of two businesses: Jay's potato chips and Leah's stackable potato chips. Each company has just come up with an idea for a new flavour of chip, which it would sell for $3 a bag. Assume that the marginal cost for each new bag of chips is a constant $1 and the only fixed cost is advertising. Each company knows that if it spends $5 million on advertising, it will get 2 million consumers to try its new product. Jay's potato chips' market research suggests that its new flavour does not have any staying power in the market. Even though it could get 2 million consumers to buy the product once, it is unlikely that they will continue to buy the product in the future. Leah's stackable potato chips' research suggests that its product is very good, and consumers who try the product will continue to be buyers over the ensuing year. On the basis of its market research, Leah's stackable potato chips estimates that its initial 2 million customers will…
