In an attempt to gain more viewers, Channel 86 and Channel 7 are each trying to decide whether to schedule a quiz show or a reality series in their 8:00 prime time slot. Market research indicates that if Channel 86 chooses a quiz show, it will gain 5% of the market if Channel 7 runs a quiz show and lose 8% if Channel 7 runs a reality series, while if Channel 86 chooses a reality series, it will gain 9% if Channel 7 runs a quiz show and lose 9% if Channel 7 runs a reality series. [Hint: Use Q and R for quiz show and reality series.]

Either of the company can one action movie or the other. Each value in dollars shows profits for respective movie version.
a. If Disney wants to make Star Wars than Warner Brothers can make The Matrix or Superman, which one is the best choice?
A small tourist town has two Italian restaurants, Romano's and Giardino's. Normally both restaurants prosper with no advertising. Romano's could take some of
Giardino's customers by running radio ads, and Giardino's could do the same thing. The one-month profit matrix (showing payoffs in thousands of dollars) is:

(a) Use best response analysis to find any pure strategies Nash equilibrium in the static (one-month) game?
(b) If the game is repeated indefinitely, can the use of tit-for-tat strategies result in a Nash equilibrium?
(c) Does the game have multiple equilibria if it is repeated indefinitely?
(d) Would pre-play communication have implications for the repeated game equilibrium? Please explain both in the static version of the game, and also if
the game is repeated indefinitely.

Andersonville has two gas stations, Ralph's Qwik-Serv and Charlie's Gas-n-Go. Both Ralph and Charlie are considering raising prices by 1¢, staying with their current prices, or lowering prices by 1¢. If they both make the same choice, there will be no change in their market shares, but if they make different choices, the one with the lower price will gain 6% of the market for each penny difference in their prices.

Firm A has two options, low prices or high prices, while firm B has two options, heavy TV advertising or heavy radio advertising. Let firm AS strategies be known as A1 and A2, while firm B's are known as B1 and 82. Firm A can earn $11 million in profits from strategy A1 if firm B responds with strategy B1, and $15 million in profit from A1 if B responds with strategy B2. Firm A can follow strategy A2, which returns $12 million if firm B responds with strategy 81 and $16 million if B responds with strategy 82. Firm B's potential profits would be $17 million and $6 million from strategy B1, depending on whether firm A implements strategy A1 or A2. Firm Bs profits from strategy B2 would be $11 million or $4 million depending on whether firm A follows strategy A1 or A2 a. Construct the payoff table. b. Does either firm have a dominant strategy?

- The city of San Fransokyo is a high-tech city, especially in the field of robotics. There are three big companies that rule the city: Granville, Axcel, and Hamada. The Granville company controls about 50% of the total robot manufacturing in the city of San Fransokyo; Axcel company controls 35%; while the rest is controlled by the Hamada company. Based on the information you have obtained, it turns out that 3% of the robots made by Granville have problems with the sensing ability of the robot. As much as 5% robots made by Axcel and 1% robots made by Hamada also have the same problem. You want to buy a robot to help with your business and randomly pick up exactly one robot from the three companies. After the item arrives, you do a test, and it turns out that the robot is experiencing a malfunction in its sensing component. Using the Bayes Rule approach, which company is predicted to make the robot you bought? Justify your answer with adequate calculations!arrow_forwardThe city of San Fransokyo is a high-tech city, especially in the field of robotics.
