for firm B is to not stay in business and there is no dominant strategy for firm A causing a 540 milion gain for firm A at the Nash equilibrium,
for both firms is to stay in business causing a $70 million gain for firm B at the Nash equilibrium.
for both firms is to not stay in business causing a $10 million gain for firm A at the Nash equilibrium.
for firm Ais to stay in business and there is no dominant strategy for firm B causing a $80 million gain for firm B.
