Plz use both pure NE and MIXED strategy (with Probability)

Consider a firm with two agents – 1 and 2. Both agents have to choose between two options: Client Focus or Cost Focus. If both choose Client the payoffs to 1 are 20 and 10 to agent 2. If both agents choose to play Cost the payoffs are 15 to agent 1 and 25 to agent 2, respectively. Finally, if any other combination of actions is chosen the payoffs to each agent are 0.

a. Assume that the agent choose their actions simultaneously. Draw the normal form of the game and derive all of the Nash equilibria.

b. Now assume that the game is played sequentially: Agent 1 makes her choice of action first, this is observed by Agent 2, who then makes his choice. Draw the extensive form of the game and find the subgame perfect equilibria. Briefly interpret this game in the context of: (i) leadership and corporate culture; and (ii) the Basic Value Maximisation Principle.

A firm uses the pure chase strategy of aggregate planning. It produced 1000 units in the last period. Demand in the next period is estimated at 800, and demand over the next six periods (its aggregate planning horizon) is estimated to average 900 units. Which of the following tactics would be most representative of following a chase strategy? add 100 units to inventory in the next period add 200 units to inventory in the next period hire workers to match...

Suppose there are two agents Richy and Poory. Both of the live for two periods: Today and Tomorrow. However, while Richy receives 100K$ Today and 0$ Tomorrow, Poory receives 0$ Today and 100K$ Tomorrow. Richy and Poory have the same preferences. Each of them prefers to smooth consumption perfectly, that is to consume the same amount in both periods. Any deviation from perfect consumption smoothing does not add any extra utility to Richy or Poory. Draw Richy and Poory’s indifference...
