    Hi, could someone please help me explain this question [2B.35] ?
    My answer and the solution seem to vary, which makes me wary.
    Much appreciated :)

    consider the situation where nest plc chooses a high advertising strategy and clogs plc chooses a low advertising strategy.
    for NEST: total revenue=12*1.5(SP of 1 unit)=18
    total costs=cost of advts+fixed costs+total variable costs
    =4+0.5+12=16.5
    hence profits for NEST are 18-16.5=1.5
    similarly for CLOG:total revenue=3*1.5(SP of 1 unit)=4.5
    total costs=cost of advts+fixed costs+total variable costs
    =1+0.5+3=4.5
    hence profits for clog is 0
    the (clog low, nest high)=(0,1.5)
    do the same with others depending upon the no of units and the advertising costs.:)
