Two competing firms must choose their quantity of production simultaneously. Each firm can choose either a High quantity of 3 or a Low quantity of 2. The price for both firms is 9-Q, where Q is the sum of both their quantities. Costs are zero; the profit is simply price times quantity. For example, if firm 1 chooses High and firm 2 chooses Low, then price is 9-(3+2)=4; payoff for firm 1 is 12 while payoff for firm 2 is 8. What is the unique Nash equilibrium? (Firm 1's strategy will be written before firm 2's.)
