Answer the question based on the following payoff matrix for a duopoly in which the numbers indicate the profit in millions of dollars for each firm: Firm A
High Price Low Price
A = $250 A = $325 ,
B $250 B: $200
A $200 A $175
B $325 B $175
Refer to the payoff matrix above. If Firm A adopts the low-price strategy, then Firm B would adopt the:
A. High-price strategy and earn $250
B. High-price strategy and earn $200
C. Low-price strategy and earn $325
D. Low-price strategy and earn $175

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
