There is an exception in the results that are reported in Table 4.
In service area F, the firm with the higher costs was unable to
earn a profit when the costs of the second firm was made greater
than the cost of the first firm by a ratio of 1.57. So, for
service area F only, we report on results of firm interaction
where the costs of both firms are equal at the Provider0 level.
Provider1 could have earned a profit if the costs of the two
firms were made different by a ratio of 1.13, but not greater.
Note that service area F has the smallest number of households.
We also see in Table 4, the total discounted values for both
providers are larger in areas with greater numbers of households.
