Consider a game where two Indian food carts located next to each other are competing for
many of the same customers for its Tikka Masala. The first cart, called Ashok's, opens first
and sets its price, the second cart, called Tridip's opens second and sets its price after
observing the price set by Ashok's. To keep it simple let's suppose there are three prices
possible for both carts: high, medium, low. Using the game tree below, answer the
following:
a. How many subgames are there in the game tree?
b. What is the strategy profile for the players?
c. What is the Nash equilibrium?
