There are two firms in an industry, Firm A and Firm B. If firm A and firm B both advertise, they each will earn $5 million in profits. If neither firm advertises, they will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one firm advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the non-advertising firm will earn $1 million. List all Nash equilibrium to this game. Both firms advertise Firm A advertises and Firm B does not Firm B advertises and Firm B does not Neither firm advertises No Nash equilibrium exists

Define a dominant strategy and Nash equilibrium. Can two firms interacting with each other have no Nash equilibria if both have a dominant strategy?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose two firms produce identical good. The inverse demand curve for the good is: P = 240-Q, where Q is the total quantity produced by the two firms. Each firm has a constant marginal cost 20 of producing the good and fixed cost = 100. Find the Cournot Nash equilibrium of this game. What quantity will each firm produce? what will be the market price? What would be the profits of each firm?

Little Kona is a small coffee company that is considering entering a market dominated by Big Brew. Each company's profit depends on whether Little Kona enters and whether Big Brew sets a high price or a low price: True or False: Only Little Kona has a dominant strategy in this game. True or False Which of the following outcomes represent a Nash equilibrium in this case? Check all that apply. Big Brew maintains a high price and Little Kona enters. a.Big Brew maintains a low price and Little Kona enters. b.Big Brew maintains a high price and Little Kona does not enter. c.Big Brew maintains a low price and Little Kona does not enter. Big Brew threatens Little Kona by saying, “If you enter, we're going to set a low price, so you had better stay out.” True or False: Little Kona should not believe the threat. True or False If the two firms could collude and agree on how to split the total profits, what outcome would they…
It takes 3,000 households having average annual income of $50,000 within a 3-mile radius to support a grocerystore. There are actually 6,000 households within 3-miles of the Shop-Rite Grocery that have $50,000 per yearaverage incomes. Today, Shop-Rite is the only grocery store in this area. Using the concept of Nash Equilibrium inlocation, explain what the likely outcome will be for this area, given those conditions

Consider the following normal form representation of the standard competition between firm A and firm B. Each firm can choose either standard A or standard B. Their payoffs are given as follows: Firm B A В A Firm A В 1 1 3 1 (1) (10 points) What's Nash equilibrium (NE) in this game? If there are more than one, find them all. But there is no NE, state that there is no NE. (2) (10 points) If you find a NE (or multiple Nash equilibria), is it (or are they) Pareto efficient?
