You and your friend will divide $4. You have agreed to use the following procedure.Each of you will name a number of dollars, either $0, $1, $2, $3, or $4. You will chooseyour numbers simultaneously. If the sum of the amounts is less than or equal to $4, theneach of you receives the amount you named and the rest of the money is thrown away.If the sum of the amounts is greater than $4 and the amounts named are different, thenthe person who named the smaller amount receives that amount and the other personreceives the remaining money. If the sum of the amounts is greater than $4 and theamounts named are the same, then each receives $2. (a)Draw the payoff matrix of this game. Let “you” be the row player and “yourfriend” be the column player.(b) Derive the best reply functions of all players.(c) Find the Nash equilibrium (or all of the equilibria) of this game using thebest reply functions you found in part (a).
