- Consider the following information for a static game. If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $5 million in profits. If you choose not to advertise and your rival chooses not to advertise, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the firm that does not advertise will earn $1 million. Assuming that each player cares only about his or her own profits, the Nash equilibrium is? Explain your answer in three long paragraphs (intro body and conclusion)Solve it correctly please. I will rate accordingly.Imagine that there are two snowboard manufacturers (FatSki and WideBoard) in the market. Each firm can either produce ten or twenty snowboards per day. The table below (see attached) shows the profit per snowboard for each firm that will result given the joint production decisions of these two firms. Draw the game payoff matrix for this situation. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? What is the Nash equilibrium solution and how many boards should each player produce each day? Since FatSki and WideBoard must play this game repeatedly (i.e. make production decisions every day), what strategy would you advise them to play in order to maximize their payoff over the long term?
- O Cell A O Cell C O Cell E O Cell I None of the abovea. b. Each firm has four alternative strategies, and a certain profit/payoff is associated with each strategy. The numbers in the payoff matrix denote firm A's profit (in thousands of dollars). The total amount of profit that can be earned by the two firms together is $20000. (This is called a "constant sum game.") Firm B's profit is therefore $20000 minus firm A's profit. What strategies will the two firms select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm gain? B's strategies A's strategies ↓ Increase Advertising Decrease Price Increase Price Alter Product Increase Advertising 0 11 8 11 Decrease Price 8 10 6 2 Increase Price 7 12 15 Alter Product 4 15 3 12 Suppose now that due to a change in consumer preferences, firm A's "Increase Price" strategy pays off better than before when firm B elects to "Decrease Price," that is, the payoff rises from 6 to 14. What strategies will the two firms now select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm…Consider the following 2-player normal form game.

- Two firms face the following payoff matrix shown to the right. Given these profits, Firm 2 wants to match Firm 1's price, but Firm 1 does not want to match Firm 2's price. Does either firm have a dominant strategy? Firm 1's dominant strategy Firm 2's dominant strategy and C Low Price Firm 2 High Price Low Price $8 $0 $0 $28 Firm 1 High Price $4 $24 $8 $24Tyler and Pam are arrested and charged with armed robbery. The police interview both suspects separately about their involvement in the crime. Each suspect has to make a decision. They can betray the other suspect by confessing that they both committed the crime, or they can cooperate with the other suspect by remaining silent. The table shows the sentences that Tyler and Pam will receive given their choices. Use the table to answer the question. What will be the dominant strategy outcome for Tyler and Pam? They both get 10 years. Pam gets 5 years, and Tyler gets 15 years. O They both get 12 years. O Tyler gets 5 years, and Pam gets 15 years. Tyler Stay silent Confess Stay silent Pam gets 10 years Tyler gets 10 years Pam gets 15 years Pam Tyler gets 5 years Confess Pam gets 5 years Tyler gets 15 years Pam gets 12 years Tyler gets 12 yearsWhich of the following best describes Nash equilibrium? a) A situation where one player dominates the others b) A situation where each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of the others c) A situation where all players cooperate perfectly d) A situation where players change strategies constantly
- 4. Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose that Flashfry and Warmbreeze are the only two firms in a hypothetical market that produce and sell air fryers. The following payoff matrix gives profit scenarios for each company (in millions of dollars), depending on whether it chooses to set a high or low price for fryers. Flashfry Pricing High Low Warmbreeze Pricing High Low 11, 11 2,13 13, 2 10, 10 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfry prices low and Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will earn a profit of $13 million, and Warmbreeze will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfry and Warmbreeze are both profit-maximizing firms. price, and if Flashfry prices low, Warmbreeze will make more profit if it If Flashfry prices high, Warmbreeze will make more profit if it chooses a chooses a price. If Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will make more profit if it chooses a chooses a price. Considering all of the…In a game of chicken, two drivers are heading towards each other on a collision course. The first one to swerve is considered the "chicken" and loses. What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? a) Both drivers swerve b) Neither driver swerves c) One driver swerves while the other doesn't d) It depends on the specificSpeedy Bike's Advertising Power Bike's Advertising Budget Large Budget Small Large Small A $20 B $18 $20 с $35 $18 $35 D $25 $25 Refer to the payoff matrix. Suppose that Speedy Bike and Power Bike are the only two bicycle manufacturing firms serving the market. Both can choose large or small advertising budgets. If this is a one-time, simultaneous game, which cell represents the final outcome we would expect to occur?
