Recently, Fred was considering moving the stage to different location on Feast's property. Moving the stage would involve some costs since it would require a redesign of the restaurant and the landscaping. It would, however, allow Fred to accommodate more customers at Feast. And it would prevent customers at Betty's from watching the show. Moving the stage will increase Feast's profits by some amount $B and it will reduce Betty's profits by some amount $C. Fred will move the stage if and only if B > 0. Does this "selfish" decision also end up maximizing total profits (i.e. the sum of Feast's and Betty's profits)? Yes No Yes, provided that B <0 or B > C Yes, provided that B > 0 Yes, provided that 0 < B < C Recently, Fred was considering moving the stage to different location on Feast's property.
