For vbar > 0, the function k |-> (vbar/16)(1+k)(2-k) attains its maximum over [0,1] at k = 1/2, where it equals (9/64)vbar.

Incomplete Information*, Oper. Res. 31(5) 1983, §3, p. 842 [PDF 8]: "π_s + π_b =
(v̄/16)(1 + k)(2 − k), which has a maximum of (9/64)v̄, at k = ½").

The map κ ↦ (v̄/16)(1 + κ)(2 − κ) attains its maximum over κ ∈ [0, 1] at κ = 1/2,
where it equals (9/64)v̄. Pure calculus: (1 + κ)(2 − κ) = 9/4 − (κ − 1/2)². -/
