Question
Ford invites Clarion to set up a plant at Ford's industrial complex in Brazil where Clarion will build navigation systems for installation in the Ford cars produced there. If Clarion builds the plant, it would have no buyers for the plant's output except Ford. If Clarion does not build the plant, neither firm benefits. If Clarion does build the plant, Ford considers paying three possible prices for systems: p, <Pz <P3. Price P, is below Clarion's average variable cost, Clarion would produce nathing, so Clarion would be out of pocket for the cost of the plant S-100 (million), and Ford would get nothing. If Ford pays price p2. Clarion would more than cover its variable costs but still lose $- 90 and Ford would gain $140. At price p3, both P1 (-100,0) P2 (-90,140) P3 (25,25) Ford Open Clarion firms would gain $25. Don't open Assume for simplicity the game tree is ilustrated in the figure to the right What is the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium? (0,0) OA the Nash equilibrium is for Clarion to not open and Ford to pick p, if Clarion enters. OB. the Nash equilibrium is for Clarion to not open and Ford to pick p, if Clarion enters. C. the Nash equilibrium is for Clanon to not open and Ford to pick p, if Clarion enters. OD. the Nash equilibrium is for Clarion to open and Ford to pick p, Claron enters. XE The game does not have a Nash equitibrium. Clarion would open if through a binding contract Ford offered to pay Clarion at least $ to open. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
