Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.
