Table 12.2


In the game shown in Table 12.2, if Firm 1 believes that Firm 2 will choose the high price strategy, Firm 1 should:

▸ choose a strategy at random because Firm 1 cannot control the outcome.

▸ refuse to play the game because Firm 1 will surely lose.

▸ choose the high price strategy.

▸ choose the low price strategy.

Table 12.2


The Nash Equilibrium in the game shown in Table 12.2 is the cell in which:

Table 12.2


In the game shown in Table 12.2, when the firms choose their dominant strategies:

▸ the firms will have an incentive to choose the other strategy in the next round.

▸ the firms will make the highest profit.
