If the resource is common property, competition will drive R1 (profits) to zero and P1 will fall until it is equal to MEC1. The result: R1=0, P1=200, Q1=150. That will leave Q2=156, which will mean P2=188 and R2=88. Undesirable because MSS1=0 but PV(MSS2)=73.33; there would be gains in efficiency from switching some consumption from 1 to 2.
