. The table below states the payoffs in political points (measured in billions of rubles) to two nations that are rivals in world politics, Russia and Ukraine. Each country can take one of two courses: peace; or war. In each cell, the first payoff is for Russia, and the second payoff is for Ukraine.
(a) Assume that neither country observes the military strategy of its rival, and solve the game (if it can be solved). Explain your solution step-by-step. Does this outcome maximize total political points?
(b) In general, what is a Nash equilibrium? Is the solution to this game a Nash equilibrium?
(c) Suppose that each country deposits a fund of two billion rubles with the United Nations. Either country would forfeit this fund if it wages war. What is the solution now to the game? Is this a Nash equilibrium?

Make a list of the amounts of money one can have that cannot be reduced to a smaller number of coins. (Hint: there are seven possible amounts.) One of the amounts is (d+e). b.) Make an addition table for Glosian money. It should be a seven by seven table, with a row and column for each of the amounts you found in the previous problem. For example, your table shouldshow that (d+e)+d=f c.) One of the seven amounts you found in the previous problem can be considered to be the zero of Glosian money, since adding it to a collection of coins does not change the collection’s value (after trading to get the smallest possible number of coins, of course.) Which amount is the zero forGlosian money? d.) The opposite of an amount is the amount you add to it to get the zero. Find the opposite of each of the seven amounts.arrow_forwardWrite the payoff matrix for the given game, use Rachel as the row player. Two players, Rachel and Charlie, each have two cards.

Because the society's members are closet jocks, the society donated twice as much to the NY Jets as to the MPBF, and equal amounts to the first two funds (it is unable to distinguish between mathematicians and nerds). Further, for every $1 it gave to the MPBF, it decided to keep $1 for itself; for every $1 it gave to the SCN, it kept $2, and for every $1 to the Jets, it also kept $2. The treasurer of the Society, Johnny Treasure, was required to itemize all donations for the Dean of Students, but discovered to his consternation that he had lost all the receipts! The only information available to him was that the society's bank account had swelled by $6300. How much did the society donate to each cause?
