Consider the following information for a simultaneous move game: If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $5 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the non-advertising firm will earn $1 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for 10 (ten) years, then the Nash equilibrium is:
A) For each firm to advertise in early years, but not advertise in later years.
B) For each firm to not advertise in any year.
C) For neither firm to advertise in early years, but to advertise in later years.
D) For each firm to advertise every year.

1. John and Paul are stranded on a deserted island where they survive by catching fish and picking coconuts. One day John can catch 8 fish OR pick 12 coconuts or he can divide his time between the two in any way with no loss of efficiency. So for instance, if he spends half of the day catching fish and a half picking coconuts, he can catch 4 fish AND 6 coconuts. Similarly, Paul can catch 6 fish or pick 3 coconuts in a day (and also divide time in any way between the two).
Draw a PPF for John and Paul. Label the slopes and intercepts. If they want to produce 4 fish between the two of them, what quantity of coconuts would be production efficient? label this point on your graph.
