Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho

ices, as it must decide whether or not to exit the industry immediately, at the end of this quarter, or at the end of the next quarter. If a firm chooses to exit then its payoff is 0 from that point onward. Each quarter that both firms operate yields each a loss equal to -1, and each quarter that a firm operates alone yields it a payoff of 2. For example, if firm 1 plans to exit at the end of this quarter while firm 2 plans to exit at the end of next quarter then the payoffs are 1,1) because both firms lose -1 in the first quarter and firm 2 gains 2 in the second. The payoff for each firm 1.

Answer:

a) attached below

b)  ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

     T = exit at the end of the quarter

     N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3

elixir [45]

Answer:

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at a zoo, the lion pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. The outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 11 m. The inner edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 9 m.

To find the area of the side walk we will subtract the area of inner edge of the side walk of lion pen from the area of the outer edge of the lion pen.

\text{Area of circle}=\pi r^2, where r represents radius of the circle.

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{(11 m)}^2-\pi*\text{(9 m)}^2

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{121 m}^2-\pi*\text{81 m}^2

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2

Therefore, the exact area of the side walk is 40 \pi\text{ m}^2

To find the approximate area of side walk let us substitute pi equals 3.14.

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=40*3.14\text{ m}^2

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2

Therefore, the approximate area of the side walk is 125.6\text{ m}^2.
