If both companies collude and agree on the best joint strategy, then neither of them will advertise.

This is how we calculate this;
</span><span>sales = $1,500,000
</span><span>fixed expenses = $450,000
</span><span>contribution margin ratio = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36
</span>total variable expenses = <span>($1,500,000) (1 – 0.36)
= (1,500,000)(0.64)
= $960,000</span>
