Two firms engage in Bertrand competition in differentiated products. After doing all the appropriate calculations, you find the best-response functions are PB = 2.5 + .15PC and PC = 1.5 + .075PB. Without doing any further calculations, can you determine the relationship between their Nash equilibrium prices?
 a. Yes, PB > PC
  b. Yes, PC > PB
  c. Yes, PB = PC
  d. No; it cannot be determined.

 a. 0.99
  b. 1.09
  c. 1.71
