A country’s market for new motor vehicles is dominated completely by two firms, Fastcars Ltd and Slowcars Ltd. Market revenue is fixed at $10 billion. Each firm can choose whether to advertise. Advertising costs $1 billion for each firm that advertises. If one firm advertises and the other does not, then the firm that advertises receives 100% of market revenue and pays for its advertising.

Primary distribution channels are supermarket meat departments. However, the company is now expanding distribution into convenience stores. There are almost 150,000 gas stations and convenience stores where the company would like to sell hot buffalo chicken bites near the checkout. This is a promising channel, as sales are growing considerably at these retail outlets and profit margins on prepared foods are higher than selling raw meat to grocery stores. Tyson will have to hire 10 more sales representatives at a salary of $45,000 each to expand into this distribution channel because many of these types of stores are independently owned.
