Which of the following statements are true…Dell and Sony compete primarily by price. Each firm must choose either a high price or a low price simultaneously. Use the following information to create the profit matrix: If Dell and Sony both set high prices, Dell’s profit is $40 million and Sony’s profit is $35 million. If Dell sets high price and Sony sets low price, Dell’s profit is $25 million and Sony’s profit is $40 million. If Dell sets low price and Sony sets high price, Dell’s profit is $50 million and Sony’s profit is $10 million. If Dell and Sony set low prices, Dell has $20 million and Sony has $15 million. Please answer the following questions: Does Sony have a dominant strategy? Dell? If so, which one? If Dell and Sony maximize their profits non-cooperatively, what is the Nash-equilibrium for this profit matrix? Instead, if Dell and Sony maximize their joint profits cooperatively, what is the equilibrium? Assume they keep their agreements.
