Homework Answers
a) if the two firms above collude, Both firms would agree to choose that strategy which yield the maximum profit to both of them. Therefore, both the firms would agree to keep high price. So if the two forms above collude, the profits for each of the two firms would be: Firm A Profits: 1000 ; Firm B Profits 1000.
b) suppose the firms collude and agree to keep prices high. If firm A cheats and cuts price, it results in(Top Right Cell)– Firm A Profits: 1250 ; Firm B Profits: 300.
