There are two firms that are considering entering a new market, and must make their decision without knowing what the other firm has done. Unfortunately the market is only big enough to support one of the two firms. If both firms enter the market then they will each make a loss of £20 million. If only one firm enters the market, that firm will earn a profit of £80 million, and the other firm will just break even. If both firms do not enter the market, then they will just break even as well

(explain the decision step by step)Gillette and Schick are two of the dominant manufactures of disposable razors worldwide. Each firm can either sign or not sign an exclusive contract with Hugh Jackman to appear on their TV ads. If both companies manage to sign with Jackman, they will each make $7 million in economic profit. If only one of them signs, it earns $10 million in economic profit and the other firm incurs an economic loss of $1.5 million. If neither firm signs, they only make normal profit. Build the pay-off matrix for the above game. Identify “Nash Equilibrium”, if any. Is this equilibrium optimal for both companies? Justify your answer.

Unfortunately the market is only big enough to support one of the two…Consider two cigarette companies, PM Inc. and Brown Inc. If neither company advertises, the two companies split the market and earn $60 million each. If they both advertise, they again split the market, but profits are lower by $20 million since each company must bear the cost of advertising. Yet, if one company advertises while the other does not, the one that advertises attracts customers from the other. In this case, the company that advertises earns $70 million while the company that does not advertise earns only $30 million. What will these two companies do if they behave as individual profit maximizers? One company will advertise, and the other will not. Brown Inc. earns $70. Both companies will advertise. PM Inc. earns $60. Neither company will advertise. Brown Inc. earns $60. Both companies will advertise. Brown Inc. earns $40.Suppose that two companies – AlphaTech and BetaLabs – are competing for market share and must simultaneously decide whether to develop a new product. Both companies are reluctant to make a decision as it is only economical for one company to develop a new product. Each company earns nothing if they decide not to develop a new product. One company can earn $50 million by developing a new product only if their competitor does not. If both companies decide to develop a new product, they each lose $10 million. Complete the payoff matrix to represent this game. Based on your solution in part (a), determine the maximin solution.
- Suppose two firms, Firm A and Firm B, are competing by setting quantities (Cournot competition). Firm A has a constant marginal cost of $10 per unit; Firm B has a constant marginal cost of $15 per unit. Assume fixed costs are equal to 0 for both firms. Hint: since fixed costs are zero and the marginal cost is constant, MC = AC. The two firms choose between producing 50 units or 100 units. If the total output is 100 units, the price is $20 per unit; if total output is 150 units, the price is $15 per unit; if total output is 200 units, the price is $10 per unit. Based on the information provided, fill in the firms’ profits in the payoff matrix below with Firm A choosing the row and Firm B choosing the column. QB=100 QB=50 QA=100 , , QA=50 , , The resulting equilibrium is for Firm A to produce ____ (50 or 100)units and Firm B to produce_____ (50 or 100) units.Question 25 Consider two cigarette companies, PM Inc. and Brown Inc. If neither company advertises, the two companies split the market and earn $60 million each. If they both advertise, they again split the market, but profits are lower by $20 million since each company must bear the cost of advertising. Yet, if one company advertises while the other does not, the one that advertises attracts customers from the other. In this case, the company that advertises earns $70 million while the company that does not advertise earns only $30 million. What will these two companies do if they behave as individual profit maximizers? Both companies will advertise. Brown Inc. earns $40. Neither company will advertise. Brown Inc. earns $60. Both companies will advertise. PM Inc. earns $60. One company will advertise, and the other will not. Brown Inc. earns $70.Declining Industry: Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible choices, as it must decide whether or not to exit the industry immediately, at the end of this quarter, or at the end of the next quarter. If a firm chooses to exit then its payoff is 0 from that point onward. Each quarter that both firms operate yields each a loss equal to –1, and each quarter that a firm operates alone yields it a payoff of 2. For example, if firm 1 plans to exit at the end of this quarter while firm 2 plans to exit at the end of the next quarter then the payoffs are (-1, 1) because both firms lose –1 in the first quarter and firm 2 gains 2 in the second. The payoff for each firm is the sum of its quarterly payoffs. a. Write down this game in matrix form. Are there any strictly dominated strategies? Are there any weakly dominated strategies?
