Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. Pictech Pricing High Low High 11, 11 2, 15 Flashfone Pricing Low 15, 2 8, 8 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $15 million, and Pictech will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms. If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ▼ price. a If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses a price, and…

Exercise A.2 . Sinergy and Dinaco are the only two companies in a high-tech industry. They are faced with the following matrix of results when deciding their research budget: After analizing the graph, answer the following questions... a) Does Sinergy have a dominant strategy? Reason your answer. b) Does Dinaco have a dominant strategy? Reason your answer. c) Is there a Nash equilibrium in this scenario? Reason your answer.
a. 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…
