Using out two-team model, graphically demonstrate that the marginal revenue (MR) from hiring talent is equal across large and small revenue markets in equilibrium. In the same graph, show and clearly label revenue imbalance, competitive imbalance and payroll imbalance.
Hint: You should use a two-team model (one large revenue team and one small revenue team and assume that their winning percentages sum to 1.00)
MRL = 100 – 120 WL
MRS = 60 – 80 WS
Solve for both winning percents and the MR in equilibrium. Show this on your graph.

-The demand for low-priced goods is relatively _________, and the demand for high priced goods is relatively __________.
-The more time you have to adjust to a price change, the _________ (more/less) elastic is your response, because time allows consumers to seek out available substitutes.
-For elastic, an increase in price leads to ________ in total revenue, and decrease in price leads to _______ in total revenue.
-For inelastic, increase in price leads to _______ in total revenue, and decrease in price leads to _____ in total revenue.
-For unitary elastic, increase in price leads to _______ in total revenue, and decrease in price leads to _____ in total revenue.
-Consider the market for bicycles. If a dealer cuts price by 20 percent and sells 10 percent more bikes, then demand for bicycles is:
A. Inelastic, and total revenue will increase.
B. Elastic, and total revenue will increase.
C. Inelastic, and total revenue will decrease.
D. Elastic, and total revenue will decrease.
