Please show work, thank you.

Stackelberg model In Farmville, only Jason and Bette can raise free-range chickens on their farms. Assume that Jason and Bette can collect and sell a large quantity of eggs at no cost and that free-range eggs produced outside Farmville cannot be transported into the town for sale. The following problem will walk you through the process of computing the equilibrium result using the Stackelberg model. Suppose that. In this market, Jason decides how many eggs per day he is going to produce and then Bette makes her decision after observing Jason's quantity choice. Bette's reaction curve (RC) to Jason's action is shown on the left-hand graph below. The corresponding market demand curve shown on the right-hand graph. Note that Jason will not have a reaction curve because he does not respond to Bette. Instead, you can see that Jason determines what Bette's response will be, and thus, he can internalize this reaction to maximize his own profit Since Jason knows how Bette will react depending on the quantity of eggs he produces, he can internalize this effect by denying the residual demand for his eggs. In the first blank column, enter the quantity of eggs Bette will produce, given each of the quantities listed for Jason's production. Then add these quantities together to solve for the total production of eggs, and enter the sum m the column labeled Total Production. Finally, determine the market price that will emerge, given the total production, and enter that price in the final column. (Hint: You may use the black points IX symbol] labeled Scratch on the graphs above to help you answer this question.) Note: You will not be graded on your placement of the black points (X symbol) on the graphs below. Tool tip: Mouse over the points on the graph above to see their coordinates.
