Question 2: First, consider the following two-player normal-form game:
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
& L & M & C & R \\
\hline
U & 15,-5 & 45,-6 & 0,-10 & 12,1 \\
\hline
B & 12,10 & 15,-6 & 25,-5 & 31,5 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
1. What is the row player's payoff when he plays U and the column player plays R? What is the
column player's payoff when she plays C and the row player plays B?
2. What are the row player's pure-strategy best replies against C? What are the column player's
pure-strategy best replies against B?
Next, consider the following two-player normal-form game:
$$
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
& L & M & R \\
\hline
U & 15,-5 & 25,-6 & 0,-10 \\
\hline
C & 0,-10 & 25,-6 & 15,-5 \\
\hline
B & 0,0 & 30,-15 & 0,0 \\
\hline
\end{array}
$$
3. What is the row player's payoff when he plays C and the column player plays M? What is the
column player's payoff when she plays R and the row player plays B?
4. What are the row player's pure-strategy best replies against R? What are the column player's
pure-strategy best replies against B?
