Question 5 Two firms are deciding whether or not to enter a market. Their payoffs are as follows: • If both firms enter the market, Firm A gets $100 million and Firm B gets $75 million. • If neither firm enters, Firm A gets $130 million and Firm B gets $125. • If Firm A enters and Firm B doesn’t, Firm A gets $70 million and Firm B gets $0. • If Firm B enters and Firm A doesn’t, Firm A gets $10 million and Firm B gets $15 million.

a. (5 points) Write out the payoff matrix described above.

b. (5 points) Does Firm A or Firm B have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it?

c. (10 points) What are the two Nash Equilibria? Justify your answer using the definition.

A company is deciding whether to lease or purchase an asset. In this question we will evaluate the NPV of the purchase decision. The capital cost required to purchase the asset is $1,000,000 (at time zero) with a salvage value of $500,000 at the end of the 5th year. The purchased asset can be depreciated based on MACRS 5-year life depreciation with the half year convention (table A-1 at IRS (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) over...
