Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets, Padmania and Capturesque. The payoff matrix below shows the profits (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $15 million and Capturesque will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms. Capturesque
Padmania high price low price
high price 11,11 2,15
low price 15, 2 8, 8

2. If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a price.
