Consider a market with two firms, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KK) and Dunkin' Donuts (DD), that produce donuts. Both firms must choose whether to charge a high price ($1.25) or a low price ($0.85) for their donuts. These price strategies with corresponding profits are illustrated in the payoff matrix to the right. Krispy Kreme's profits are in red and Dunkin' Donuts' are in blue. Krispy Kreme's dominant strategy is to pick a price of $1.25 , and Dunkin' Donuts' dominant strategy is to pick a price of $0.85 . What is the Nash equilibrium for this game? A. Krispy Kreme will choose a price of $1.25 and Dunkin' Donuts will choose a price of $0.85. B. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts will both choose a price of $1.25. C. Krispy Kreme will choose a price of $0.85 and Dunkin' Donuts will choose a price of $1.25. D. Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts will both choose a price of $0.85. E. The game has no Nash equilibrium.

Bond x is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 7% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. your required return on bond x is 10%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. you (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 9.5%. how much should you be willing to pay for bond x today? (hint: you will need to know how much the bond will be worth at the end of 5 years.) do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to the nearest cent.
