Explanation / Answer

Monopolist:

Profit maximizing price = $ 1.8

Total output = 210 gallons

Raphael's profit = 105 x 1.8 = $ 189

Susan's profit = 105 x 1.8 = $ 189

Raphael cheats:

Price of water = $ 1.5 (decreases)

Raphael's profit = 140 x 1.5 = $ 210

Susan's profit = 105 x 1.5 = $ 157.5

Susan increases production:

Price of water = $ 1.2

Raphael's profit = 140 x 1.2 = $ 168

Susan's profit = 140 x 1.2 = $ 168

Total profit = $ 336

This behavious is an example of tit-for-tat strategy
