Hi I need help with the worksheet below.
Profits for two competing firms depend on the decisions to advertise or not to advertise as follows: If neither firm advertises, each makes a weekly profit of $100. If one firm advertises while the other does not, the firm that advertises makes $120 while the firm that doesn’t advertise makes $60. If both firms advertise, each firm makes $80. (a) What is the Nash equilibrium? Is this outcome efficient, from the perspective of the two firms? (b) How does the outcome of the game change if the parties can make a binding agreement in advance about advertising practices? (c) How does the game change if it is repeated over the course of many weeks (but the firms cannot make a binding agreement about how much advertising they will do)?
A small town has a duopoly in its tattoo market. Two firms, "Thread the Needle" and "Ink about it" are both competitors. Daily profit is listed in the payoff matrix. The green payouts belong to "Thread the Needle" and the red, "Ink about it". Why does the outcome where they both advertise yield the same profits for both firms than if they didn't advertise? A because advertising doesn't actually work B because advertising increases the average total costs and negatively impact total profit C because one firm is larger than the other firm D because of a collusive agreement between the firms
The table below shows the payoffs for two firms competing through advertisement. Firm A and Firm B can each choose to advertise, or to not advertise. A's Strategy Advertise Don't Advertise Table 14.2 B's Strategy Advertise A's profit $100 million B's profit $100 million A's profit $50 million B's profit $200 million What is Firm A's dominant strategy? Don't Advertise A's profit $200 million B's profit $50 million C. Advertise d. Firm A does not have a dominant strategy A's profit $75 million B's profit $75 million a. Don't advertise b. Indeterminate from this information, as no information is provided on Firm A's risk preference.
