Question 25
Consider two cigarette companies, PM Inc. and Brown Inc. If neither company advertises, the two companies split the market and earn $60 million each. If they both advertise, they again split the market, but profits are lower by $20 million since each company must bear the cost of advertising. Yet, if one company advertises while the other does not, the one that advertises attracts customers from the other. In this case, the company that advertises earns $70 million while the company that does not advertise earns only $30 million. What will these two companies do if they behave as individual profit maximizers?

- q19 If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $4 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $1 million and the non-advertising firm will earn $5 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for 10 years, then the Nash equilibrium is a. for each firm to not advertise in any year. b. for neither firm to advertise in early years but to advertise in later years. c. for each firm to advertise every year. d. for each firm to advertise in early years but not advertise in later years.q52 If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn 14 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn 20 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn 10 million and the non-advertising firm will earn 16 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for only one year, the Nash equilibrium is a. for each firm to advertise. b. for the other firm to advertise and your firm not to advertise. c. for your firm to advertise and the other not to advertise. d. for neither firm to advertise.Synergy and Dynaco are the only two firms in a specific high-tech industry. They face the following payoff matrix as they decide upon the size of their research budget: Synergy's Decision Large Budget Small Budget Dynaco's Decision Large Budget $40 million, $30 million $60 million, $0 Small Budget $0, $30 million $50 million, $40 million If Synergy believes Dynaco will go with a large budget, it will choose a budget. If Synergy believes Dynaco will go with a small budget, it will choose a budget. Therefore, Synergy a dominant strategy. If Dynaco believes Synergy will go with a large budget, it will choose a budget. If Dynaco believes Synergy will go with a small budget, it will choose a budget. Therefore, Dynaco a dominant strategy. True or False: There is a Nash equilibrium for this scenario. (Hint: Look closely at the definition of Nash equilibrium.) True False
- To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream.

Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of _________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of ________ million if Dairy King does not advertise. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of __________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of _________…(Table: Samsung and Apple’s Payoff Table) Suppose that a market is dominated by two large firms, Samsung and Apple. Both have two choices: to Advertise or Do not advertise. The payoff table below shows the potential revenues associated with each firm’s strategies. For example, if Apple advertises and Samsung does not, the payoff to Apple is $75,000 and Samsung’s payoff is -$25,000. What are Apple and Samsung’s respective dominant strategies? Apple (right payoffs) Samsung Do not advertise Advertise Do not advertise (50000, 50000) (-25000, 75000) Advertise (75000, -25,000) (10000,10000) Group of answer choices Do not advertise, Do not advertise Advertise, Advertise Do not Advertise, Advertise Advertise, Do not AdvertiseQ13 George and Jerry are competitors in a local market. Each is trying to decide if it is better to advertise on TV, on radio, or not at all. If they both advertise on TV, each will earn a profit of €3,000. If they both advertise on radio, each will earn a profit of €5,000. If neither advertises at all, each will earn a profit of €10,000. If one advertises on TV and the other advertises on radio, then the one advertising on TV will earn €4,000 and the other will earn €2,000. If one advertises on TV and the other does not advertise, then the one advertising on TV will earn €8,000 and the other will earn €5,000. If one advertises on radio and the other does not advertise, then the one advertising on radio will earn €9,000 and the other will earn €6,000. If both follow their dominant strategy, then George will: (a) advertise on TV and earn €3,000; (b) advertise on radio and earn €5,000; (c) advertise on TV and earn €8,000; (d) not advertise and earn €10,000;
- Problem II. Suppose a small town has only two firms (firm1 and firm 2) selling the same product. Each firm can either set a high price (H) or a low price (L) for its product. The payoff matrix below displays the profits per day given the combination of prices for both firms. The first entry shows firm1’s profits while the second entry shows the second firm’s profits. The information displayed in the playoff matrix are known by both firms. Firm 2 High price Low Price Firm 1 High price $210; $220 $80; $260 Low Price $240; $160 $150; $140 Does each firm have a dominant strategy to set a high price, a dominant strategy to set a low price, or does it have no dominant strategy? In other words, find the dominant strategy of each firm, if it exists. Explain your answer. Assuming that the two firms do not cooperate to set prices, what will be the profits of each firm? The local authorities of the…In the Tech industry, Tesla and Toyota are two famous brands and compete. Recently, both firms are competing to raise funds from the likes of Soft banks and Yes Bank. Tesla is in talks to raise $600 million and speed up its acquisition plans while Toyota plans to secure at least $200 million in a new funding round this year. Since both firms are going the same investors, if both approach the Soft banks then Toyota is guaranteed to raise $200 million while Tesla will receive $400 million. If both approach Yes Bank, then Toyota will definitely receive $600 million while Tesla will get $400 million. However, if Toyota approaches Yes Bank while Tesla pursues Soft bank, they are guaranteed investments worth $400 million and $800 million. On the other hand, if Toyota pursues Soft Bank while Tesla is interested in securing Yes bank’s funding, they each secure $600 million. a) Solve the Nash equilibrium for the above scenario as a simultaneous game. b) Now model the above scenario as a…These two firms are the only companies that sell a very similar product in California.
