Evaluate the above statement. Is it true? If so, how do you know? Is the above statement false? If so, why? In your answer, be sure to also explain what a monopolist is (what are the defining characteristics, etc). provide an incorrect response

2-Coca Cola and Pepsi are two large soft drink companies. Combined, these companies control a large market share in the soft drink industry. Both companies currently advertise their sodas on television, and each company earns a profit of $550 million. If both companies were to stop advertising on television, each would earn a profit of $600 million. If only one company were to stop advertising on television and the other company continued to do so, the company that stopped advertising would earn a profit of $200 million and the company that continued to advertise would earn a profit of $800 million. Assume this is a simultaneous-move game where Coca Cola and Pepsi choose to advertise or choose not to advertise, and Coca Cola and Pepsi cannot collude.
What is a payoff matrix? Explain this concept in your own words and explain why it is used in game theory.
Does Coca Cola have a dominant strategy? If so, how did you find this strategy? (In other words, write a short description about your process of verifying this dominant strategy). In your response be sure to define a dominant strategy in your own words.

Senior management expects you to release a new printer which will upstage the competitor’s
expected new printer announcement. The target schedule is shortened to allow you to ramp
up manufacturing and marketing soon enough to pre-empt the competitor announcement
with an announcement of your own. The budget will support a cost structure that permits a
profit margin which is slightly better than the current printer’s margin. Your own analysis of
the work required, and subsequent work breakdown structure has led to you conclude that
these targets are difficult but achievable. Market intelligence gathered on the competitor’s
plans is considered reliable, so the target specs for your new printer, required to upstage your
competitor’s new printer, are reasonably well defined/understood, and expected to remain
stable throughout the project. Comparatively, you are pleased that your project is reasonably
staffed because other Project Managers are struggling to complete their work with limited
resources.
