To answer step-by-step, let's first analyze the capacity and fixed cost of each plant.

1. Capacity:
- Lyra: 1 million
- Libra: 0.8 million
- Hydra: 0.9 million
- New Lyra: 1.6 million
- New Libra: 1.8 million

2. Fixed Cost:
- Lyra: $2 billion
- Libra: $2 billion
- Hydra: $2.6 billion
- New Lyra: $3.4 billion
- New Libra: $3.7 billion

3. Now, let's look at the profit margin per car for each plant:
- Lyra:
- Lyra: $2,000
- Libra: -$100,000
- Hydra: -$100,000
- New Lyra: $2,500
- New Libra: $2,300

- Libra:
- Lyra: -$100,000
- Libra: $3,000
- Hydra: -$100,000
- New Lyra: $3,000
- New Libra: $3,500

- Hydra:
- Lyra: -$100,000
- Libra: -$100,000
- Hydra: $5,000
- New Lyra: -$100,000
- New Libra: $4,800

4. Demand:
- Lyra: 1.4 million
- Libra: 1.1 million
- Hydra: 0.8 million

5. Demand diversion matrix:
- Lyra to Libra: 0.3
- Lyra to Hydra: 0.05
- Libra to Lyra: 0
- Libra to Hydra: 0.1
- Hydra to Lyra: 0
- Hydra to Libra: 0
