Table 11-8
Suppose OPEC has only two producers, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.Saudi Arabia has far more oil reserves and is the lower cost producer compared to Nigeria.The payoff matrix in Table 11-8 shows the profits earned per day by each country."Low output" corresponds to producing the OPEC assigned quota and "high output" corresponds to producing the maximum capacity beyond the assigned quota.
-Refer to Table 11-8.What is the Nash equilibrium in this game?
A) In the Nash equilibrium both Saudi Arabia and Nigeria produce a low output and earn a profit of $100 million and $20 million respectively.
B) In the Nash equilibrium both Saudi Arabia and Nigeria produce a high output and earn a profit of $60 million and $20 million respectively.
C) In the Nash equilibrium Saudi Arabia produces a low output and earns a profit of $80 million and Nigeria produces a high output and $30 million respectively.
