Answer to Question 1

If the movers compete, production will be where the demand and supply curves intersect, 300 million miles of moving per year. The price will be 8 per mile. If the movers can successfully collude, then production is at the point where MR = MC, only 200 million miles of moving per year, and the price is 12 per mile.
