a) Model the situation as a strategic game, assuming both 'Ali' and 'Hassan' care only about their own comfort. Find the Nash equilibrium (equilibria) if it exists. Also, does a dominant strategy exist for either 'Ali' or 'Hassan'? b) Now assume that both 'Ali' and 'Hassan' are altruistic, ranking outcomes according to the other person's comfort and, out of politeness, prefer to stand than to sit if the other person stands. Model the situation as a strategic game and find any Nash equilibrium (equilibria) if it exists. Does a dominant strategy exist for either 'Ali' or 'Hassan' with these preferences?

Consider a Stackelberg game of quantity competition between two firms. Firm 1 is the leader and firm 2 is the follower. Market demand is described by the inverse demand function P=1000-4Q. Each firm has a constant unit cost of production equal to 20. Suppose firm 2's unit cost of production is c<20. What value would c have so that in the Nash Equilibrium, the two firms, the leader and the follower, had the same market share?
See the extensive form game in the image attached (the payoffs of player 1 are written on top and the payoffs of player 2 are on the bottom). a) Write this game in normal form (a player's strategy is a complete contingent plan that tells them what to play at each of their information sets) (b) Find all the Nash equilibria of the normal form game from part (a)
Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Identify any dominated strategies in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.

Keith and Blake play a simultaneous one-shot game. Keith chooses between Top and Bottom, whereas Blake chooses between left and right. Payoffs are given by (Keith's payoffs are listed first and Blake's payoffs second): Top+left: 3,-6. Top+right:0,-7 Bottom+left:4,0. Bottom+right:-2,6. In a mixed strategy equilibria, Keith will play Top with what probability? 1. 6/7 2. 1/4 3. 1/2 4. 1/7 5. 0 6. 3/4
