below cost? That is, explain a rationale of loss leaders, using your U4. The coconut-milk carts from Exercise S7 set up again the next day. Nearly 172 [CH. 5] SIMULTANEOUS- MOVE GAMES a dollars of a pound of cheese. (a) Initially, L'Épicerie runs La Boulangerie and La Fromagerie as if the were separate firms, with independent managers who each try to maximize their own profit. What are the Nash equilibrium quanti- ties, prices, and profits for the two divisions of L'Épicerie, given the new quantity equations? (b) The owners of L'Épicerie think that they can make more total profit by coordinating the pricing strategies of the two Yuppietown divi- sions of their company. What are the joint-profit-maximizing prices for bread and cheese under collusion? What quantities do La Bou- langerie and La Fromagerie sell of each good, and what is the profit that each division earns separately? (c) In general, why might companies sell some of their goods at prices below cost? That is, explain a…

Panther Airlines (PA) is the only airline that flies several routes. They have a potential competitor, Leopard Airlines (LA) who are considering entering these markets. PA maintains some excesscapacityas an entry deterrent and is eurrently earning $1 Om profit. PA signals that if LA enters these markets, theywill drop their prices. PA&#39;s profits will fall to $2m and LA will make a loss of $5m. If PA drops its prices and LA does not enter the markets, PA will earn $3m in profit. If PA were to accommodatethe new entranl, they would each earn $5m profit. i. Draw up the payoffmatrix for this game.ii. Do PA and LA have dominant strategies? Explain your answer.iii. What is the Nash equilibrium? Explain your answer.

Save Answer Consider two cigarette companies, PM Inc. and Brown Inc. If neither company advertises, the two companies spit 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 advertisirlg. 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? Neither company will advertise, and PM Inc. earns $60. One company will advertise, the other will not. Brown Inc. earns $70. Both companies will advertise, and PM Inc. earns $40. Both companies will advertise, and PM Inc. earns $60.

Game theory is a very useful tool for managers and it can help them to solve business decisions. But at the same time it is important to be careful about rival decisions to avoid any loss. Usually the best solution is to engage in strategic interaction is the best secure way to play. Highlight that how to play a secure game or dominant to survive in the market for the long term.
