Answer #1

Solution: The game is following that player 1 choose in period 1 followed by player 2's choice and then player 1 choose. To get the SPNE of this game we will use the Backward Induction methods.

Claim: There are two SPNEs in this game as SSS and CCC.

Player 1 at history (CC0) is indifferent by chossing S and C as he gets the same payoff as 3.

Case1:   

Suppose he chose S then knowing this strategy player 2 will chose S at history (C0) as he gets higher payoff 2 > 1.

Giving this strategy player 1 will chose S at history(0) as he gets higher payoff by chosing S ( 1 >0) .

Hence SSS is one of the SPNE.

Case 2:

Suppose he chose C then knowing this strategy player 2 will chose C at history (C0) as he gets higher payoff 3 >2.

Giving this strategy player 1 will chose C at history(0) as he gets higher payoff by chosing C ( 3 >1) .

Hence CCC is an another SPNE of this game.
