Suppose that Under Armor and Nike are the sole producers of a particularly comfortable athletic shoe. The two firms currently charge the same price for their products. If neither firm reduces the price of its particularly comfortable athletic shoe, each firm earns $30 million in profit. If both firms reduce their prices, then each firm will earn $8 million in profit. If one firm reduces its price and the other does not, then the firm that reduces price will earn a profit of $70 million while the other firm will earn a profit of $2 million. Assuming that collusion is not a possibility, the Nash equilibrium occurs when a. Nike will reduce its price and Under Armor will maintain its current price
b. both firms will reduce their price.
c. Under Armor will reduce its price and Nike will maintain its current price
d. both firms will maintain their current price.

b. both firms will reduce their price.

Explanation:

The Nash equilibrium is a decision-making theorem that lies inside the game theory where the player could attain the expected result by not deviating to the beginning strategy. In this, the strategy of the each player is optimal at the time when the other player decisions are relevant

So as per the given situation, both the firm should decrease their price

hence the option b is correct

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
