Suppose ECN and BMI are two firms in a patent race, where the probability of successfulinnovation is p. If one firm is successful, they earn monopoly profits of r and if both firms aresuccessful, they flip a coin to determine who is awarded the patent (i.e. 50% probability ofTM). Defining S = K/TM, where K is the fixed R&D cost, the expected profits can berepresented in the following payoff matrix:BMINo R&D LabR&D LabNo R&D Lab(0, 0)0, TM (p – S)ECNR&D Lab| n"(p – S), 02pr²-p)Which of the following conditions ensures only one firm invests in an R&D lab:Select one:O a. p(2 - p)/2 < S < pOb.none of the other answersO .
