You are working as an analyst for an investment firm that is potentially interested in a stake in Denimax and its competitor, Manlyn's Normal Jeans (MNJ). These are the only sellers of quality jeans in the area, and there is a popular and indistinguishable in quality. Therefore, the stores compete entirely on price, and customers buy from whoever is cheaper. If the prices are the same, you expect that customers will split equally between Denimax and MNJ so that each sells 500 units. From newspaper reports, you gathered that both firms can produce a pair of jeans at a constant cost of $35. Which of the following is the most plausible result of your game-theoretic analysis of this market? Since Denimax and MNJ are the only two firms selling jeans in this market and the cost is reasonable, their profits should be high. Denimax and MNJ will have strong profit margins per pair of jeans sold, but since they need to share the market, profit for both firms will be moderate. Either of the two companies has an opportunity to undercut the other with an aggressive pricing strategy and control the market. One will be very profitable, and it is not yet possible to predict which. The other will not be profitable. These companies cannot be very profitable because the price will be close to their cost of $35, so the profit margin is essentially zero.
