Rainbow Writer (RW) is a small online company selling a highly rated software package for engraving words onto objects produced by 3D printers. The firm currently
earns a profit of $2 million per year selling its package exclusively on its website. Odeon, the producer of the most popular 3D printers has expressed interest in
bundling Rainbow Writer's product with its printers. Odeon expects that bundling would further boost its sales and allow it to sell its printers at a higher price, thus
raising its profits beyond its current profit of $12 million. The diagram above shows the decision tree for the Rainbow Writer - Odeon bargaining game.
Refer to the decision tree above. What is the equilibrium outcome in this game and is this a subgame-perfect equilibrium?

O C. In the equilibrium, Odeon offers $40 per copy of the software package and is accepted but this is not a subgame - perfect equilibrium.
