Questions
In the mаrket fоr gоlfbаlls, the tоp two compаnies (Green Company and The Fairway Company) have engaged in an advertising war in an effort to steal market share from each other competitors and become the sole provider of golf balls in the market. Each company is developing a new advertising campaign, but they are unsure of their competitor’s advertising campaign. As a result, Green Company has to choose their advertising budget without knowing The Fairway Company’s advertising budget, and vice versa. The table below shows each firm’s MONTHLY profits for a low budget and a high budget advertising strategy. The Fairway Company Green Company Low Budget High Budget Low Budget $8,000, $8,000 $3,000, $10,000 High Budget $10,000, $3,000 $4,000, $4,000 Please answer the following questions: What is the dominant strategy for The Green Company? What is the secure strategy for The Fairway Company? What is the Nash Equilibrium if the two companies only face each other in ONE decision round? Is there a set of strategies that will provide payoffs to each firm that are greater than what they receive in the Nash Equilibrium? If so, what is this set of strategies and what is the associated payoff set? If these two firms engage in this advertising war each year indefinitely, will The Green Company choose to collude and cooperate with The Fairway Company and play the strategy suggest in Question #4, or will they cheat on the collusive agreeement? Assume the current interest rate is 7%.
