Suppose two beer producers, POTUSS Pilsner and Supreme Court Stout. If they advertise, they can both sell more beer and increase their revenue. But, the cost of advertising more than offsets the increased revenue so that each producer ends up with a lower profit than if they do not advertise. On the other hand, if only one advertises, that producer increases its market share and also its profit. Create a payoff matrix using the following hypothetical information: If neither producer...
