Whatfactors have limited this success?Breakdown of a cartel agreement Consider a town in which only two residents, Sean and Yvette, own wells that produce water safe for drinking. Sean and Yvette can pump and sell as much water as they want at no cost. For them, total revenue equals profit. The following table shows the town's demand schedule for water.

- Table: Market for Oil World Price (per barrel) World Quantity (MBD) $36.00 100 37.50 98 47.50 82 50.00 80 Suppose that oil is produced by 10 countries, each of which produces 10 million barrels of oil a day (MBD) for a total of 100 MBD. The world price of oil at this quantity is $36 per barrel, so each country earns $360 million a day. Suppose that these countries form a cartel and each country produces 8 MBD. If nine of the cartel members cheat and produce 10 MBD while one country keeps its promise and maintains production at 8 MBD, each cheater will earn revenue of: $375 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $360 million a day. $400 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $360 million a day. $400 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $300 million a day. $375 million a day, while the noncheating country will earn $300 million a day.PRICE (Dollars per can) 2.00 1.80 1.60 Demand 1.40 1.20 1.00 + 0.80 0.60 0.40 0.20 MC=ATC MR 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) Monopoly Outcome When they act as a profit-maximizing cartel, each company will produce information, each firm earns a daily profit of $ cans and charge $ so the daily total industry profit in the beer market is $ per can.

Again, assume the two companies form a cartel and decide to work together. Both firms initially agree to produce half the quantity that maximizes total industry profit. Now, suppose that Mays decides to break the collusion and increase its output by 50%, while McCovey continues to produce the amount set under the collusive agreement. Mays's deviation from the collusive agreement causes the price of a can of beer to $ while McCovey's profit is now $ Mays increases…Which of the following would be most likely to contribute to the breakdown of a cartel in a natural resource (e.g., bauxite) market?
