Both players flip their cards. Nit stops the dealer from dealing the board, and offers the shortstack $25 to muck his hand. SS offers to muck for $40, nit agrees. SS mucks, nit gives him 2 $20s out of his pocket and takes the pot.

That is roughly a fair equity chop. The $20 deal would have been a good deal for the "nit".
There is currently about $122 in the pot (blinds, limpers and rake change this). I don't have a calculator to look up the exact equity of precisely QcQd vs. AcJc, but I assume it is around 70/30 (I'd guess the QQ is probably just a couple percentage more than 70).
70% of $122 is $85.40. So if they run it out the "nit" has an expectation of $85.40.
If the "nit" gives the "shortstack" $40 and takes the rest, then the "nit" ends up with $82.
I guess it is kinda absurd to be doing these things in a 60 big blind pot though. Although the $20 deal would have been roughly $16.60 better for the "nit" than running it out.
