4. Assume that Coca Cola and Pepsi are deciding on whether to invest in a new round of
advertising. They have two choices - advertise (A) or don't advertise (DA). Remember
advertising costs money and hence reduces profits. Decisions are made independently
without communication between the 2 firms. The table below gives the payoff (profits in
thousands of dollars) for each firm in the order (Coca Cola, Pepsi).
Coca Cola
DA
A
Pepsi
DA
(50, 50)
(75,0)
A
(0,75)
(25, 25)
Assuming the game is only played once, what is the best move for each player? What is
the Nash equilibrium of the game?
