Hotelling. Two firms, labeled 1 and 2, are located at the ends of a Hotelling line of length 1. L customers are uniformly distributed along the line. Each customers wants to buy one unit of the product and the product is worth V to each customer. A customer located distance d from a given firm incurs travel cost td to purchase the product from that firm. Firms produce at constant marginal cost c < V, and they engage in Bertrand price competition.

If each firm's demand does not change with a small increase in the other firm's price starting from the equilibrium prices, ther independent in demand at the equilibrium prices. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The products are substitutes at the equilibrium prices regardless of the values of V, 1, and c.
b. The products are substitutes at the equilibrium prices If V is sufficiently large relative to t and c.
c. The products are independent in demand (and not substitutes) if iftis sufficiently large relative to V.
d. (a) and (b) are true
e. (b) and (c) are true
