Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $1 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $300,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win three fourth, or 0.75, of the time. Use the given information to fill in the expected payoff, in dollars, for each cell in the matrix. (Hint: To find the expected payoff, multiply the probability of winning by the dollar amount of the payoff. Be sure to account for lawyer costs, which are incurred with certainty if a lawyer is hired.)   Management (M) No Lawyer Lawyer Labor (L) No Lawyer L:    , M:   L:    , M:   Lawyer L:    , M:   L:    , M:     The Nash equilibrium for this game is for Management to hire or not to hire   a lawyer, and for Labor to hire or not to hire   a lawyer.
