Answer:

the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude

Explanation:

A duopoly is when there are two firms operating in an industry.

Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

 the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude because it is the best outcome for both players. if, a player cheats, there is a chance that the other player would cheat and both firms would end up earning a zero economic profit

By the time she retires, her investment period will be 35 years.  Neil started her investment at age 30.

Debit Fixed asset - Machine $2,090,000

Credit Expense account $2,090,000

<em>(To appropriately record the purchase of machine)</em>
