4. Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome

Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets: Padmania and Capturesque. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets.

Capturesque Pricing
High Low
Padmania Pricing High 11, 11 2, 18
Low 18, 2 10, 10

For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $18 million, and Capturesque will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms.

If Padmania prices high, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a high/low price, and if Padmania prices low, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a high/low price.

If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a high/low price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a high/low price.

Considering all of the information given, pricing high is/ is not a dominant strategy for both Padmania and Capturesque.

If the firms do not collude, what strategies will they end up choosing? (can have more than 1 answer)

a.Both Padmania and Capturesque will choose a high price.

b.Both Padmania and Capturesque will choose a low price.

c.Padmania will choose a low price, and Capturesque will choose a high price.

d.Padmania will choose a high price, and Capturesque will choose a low price.
