In a small town two retailers A and B are competing for business. They have one store each. Under current conditions they share the total sales of $800,000 equally. Retailer-A is planning to open one or two more stores, or may continue with the existing store (no new stores). Retailer-B can open only one additional store, or may continue with the existing store (no new stores). Each new store costs $50,000 to build. If they have the same number of stores the retailers will share the total sales equally; if one retailer has one more store than the other it will have 55% of the total sales; if one retailer has two more stores than the other one it will have 65% of the total sales. Create the game matrix of this two-person game showing the possible actions and payoffs.

The retailer devised a label scheme that ranked products on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 = least environmentally friendly and 5 = most environmentally friendly. This ranking was added...
