E. Only the Blue firm has a dominant strategy to pick the Low Price option
F. Both firms have a dominant strategy to pick the Low Price option

Answer 1

F. Both firms have a dominant strategy to pick the Low Price option

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given case as we can see that in the yellow form there is always a greater payoff by having a lesser price so it can be said that it set a less price

Now for the blue firm it also select the lesser price

So here the nash equilibrium would be

= (Low price, low price)

= (26,20)

The first payoff would be considered as a yellow firm and the other one is blue one

Therefore the last option is correct
