Refer to Table 14-2. Is the current strategy in which each firm charges the low price and earns a profit of 7,000 a Nash equilibrium? If not, why and what is the Nash equilibrium?
A) No, it is not a Nash equilibrium because each firm can do better by charging the high price. The Nash equilibrium occurs when each firm charges the high price and earns a profit of 10,000.
B) No, the current situation is not a Nash equilibrium. The Nash equilibrium for each firm is to have the other charge a high price and for the firm in question charge a low price.
C) Yes, the current situation is a Nash equilibrium.
D) No, the current situation is not a Nash equilibrium; it is a dominant strategy equilibrium. There is no Nash equilibrium in this game.

A) the firm should shut down.
