But A is in the money business, they should have no interest in X and Y.

- A loans $100K to both B and C at 10%.

- B makes X and Y, C make Q and R.

- B and C can produce and sell X,Y,Q, and R to one another to their mutual hearts content, creating a lot of value, but in the end A can only be satisfied by $220K. Either B or C is going to end up short.

Why would A accept X or Y when it's detrimental to their business interests to do so?
