It takes 3,000 households having average annual income of $50,000 within a 3-mile radius to support a grocerystore. There are actually 6,000 households within 3-miles of the Shop-Rite Grocery that have $50,000 per yearaverage incomes. Today, Shop-Rite is the only grocery store in this area. Using the concept of Nash Equilibrium inlocation, explain what the likely outcome will be for this area, given those conditions
Suppose that currently there are no airlines serving the city of South Podunk. Both Accommodating Airlines and Friendly Flyers are looking to enter that morket (They are the only two.) The figure shows in extensive form the possible outcomes of the two firms' decisions. The payoffs represent, in thousands per month, the profit (or loss) the firm will realize from its decision. What does this extensive form game Indicate about the decision to enter the South Podunk market?
