Determine the optimal strategy for the situation by representing it as a game and finding the saddle point. State your final answer in the terms of the original question. In an ongoing price war between Burger Haven (locally owned) and MacArches (a chain), both restaurant managers plan to change the price of a hamburger by 10¢. If they both raise their prices, there will be no change in their market shares, but if they both lower their prices, the chain's national advertising will ensure that MacArches gains 6% of the market. Again because of advertising, if Burger Haven lowers their price and MacArches raises their price, Burger Haven will gain only 5% of the market, but if Burger Haven raises their price and MacArches lowers their price, MacArches will gain 7% of the market. Use this information to decide what the managers should do. MacArches R % Burger Haven % % What does L represent? L represents lowering the price by 10¢. L represents raising the price by 10¢. What does R…

PROBLEM (7) Rock-Scissors-Paper game is a two player simultaneous move game where each player chooses R, S or P. It is a fact that Rock crushes Scissors, which cuts Paper which in turn covers Rock; so R beats S, S beats P and P beats R. Winner gets 1 point, loser gets 0 (if they both choose the same strategy; both gets 0). Fill a 3x3 game box with two players’ payoffs in this game and answer the following; (a) Is there a dominant strategy for Player 1? Any dominated strategy? Answer the same for Player 2.(b) Is there a Nash Equilibrium in this game?(c) If player 1 plays first and then player 2 chooses her action, would you like to be player 1 or 2 in this sequential version of the game? Draw the game tree and describe the backward induction solution (sequential Nash equilibria) in this game. PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE PARTS!
