Two home-improvement stores (Lopes and HomeMax) in a growing urban area are interested in expanding their market share. Both are interested in expanding the size of their store and parking lot to accommodate potential growth in their customer base. The following game depicts the strategic outcomes that result from the game. Increases in annual profits of the two home-improvement stores are shown in the table below.     Lopes     Increase the size of store and parking lot Do not increase the size of store and parking lot HomeMax Increase the size of store and parking lot Lopes = $1.0 million HomeMax = $1.5 million Lopes = $0.4 million HomeMax = $3.4 million Do not increase the size of store and parking lot Lopes = $3.2 million HomeMax = $0.6 million Lopes = $2.0 million HomeMax = $2.5 million Refer to the table above. When this game reaches a Nash equilibrium, annual profit will grow by

In this case, the company that advertises earns $60 million while the company that does not advertise earns only $30 million. Refer to Scenario 17-4. In 1971, Congress passed a law that banned cigarette advertising on television. If cigarette companies are profit maximizers, it is likely that
