The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: Beantown Advertise Doesn't Advertise Expresso Advertise 10, 10 18, 2 Doesn't Advertise 2, 18 11, 11 For example, the upper right cell shows that if Expresso advertises and Beantown doesn't advertise, Expresso will make a profit of $18 million, and Beantown will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Expresso and Beantown are both profit-maximizing firms. If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $ million if Beantown does not advertise. If Expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $ million if Beantown does not advertise.
