CBS is selling advertising for its broadcast of the AFC championship game. The station's demand for minutes of commercial advertising time is the demand it fnces from the companies to which it sells advertising time: Pads = 100.000 - 50Q. CBS has MC = $2000. Buyers pay CBS a price Pces for each minute of advertising and add $1.000 forpach ad to cover the tax they pay, so their MC ADs Pcos + 1000. No one lias any fixed costs. Question: Suppose the two firms vertically integrate. What transfer price would result in CBS earning (970,000 in profit?
