The Old Familiar does not advertise The Beehive The Beehive earns $4,000 in profits. earns $3,500 in profits. a. Which combination or combinations of X and Y would make a situation in which The Old Familiar does not advertise and The Beehive advertises a Nash equilibrium? A Nash equilibrium occurs if O X = $2,500; Y = $2,000. 0 X = $3,300; Y = $1,250. OX= $1,500; Y = $2,500. OX= $1,200; Y = $1,500. b. Which combination or combinations of X and Y would cause this game to have multiple Nash equilibria? Multiple Nash equilibria occur if OX= $1,200; Y = $1,500 1 X= $1,500; Y = $2,500 O X = $3,300; Y = $1,250 OX= $2,500; Y = $2,000 c. Based on your answer in part b, when this game has multiple Nash equilibria the game will be a coordination game an anti-coordination game a Prisoner's Dilemma game Game Theory and Strategic Choices - End of Chapter Problem The Old Familiar and The Beehive are the only two bistros in town.
