Got Milk? Bessie and George are milk producers, and each must decide whether to spend $7 million on an advertising campaign. If neither advertises, each will earn $10 million in net revenue from sales (net revenue). If both advertise, each will earn $20 million in net revenue and $13 million in profit ($20 million minus $7 million for advertising). If only one producer advertises, that firm will earn $16 million in net revenue, and the other firm will earn $15 million in net revenue. Prepare a game tree like Figure 27.10 on page 618. Assume that Bessie decides first. What is the outcome of this advertising game? If there is an advertisers’ dilemma, how does it differ from the advertisers’ dilemma discussed earlier in the chapter? How might the dairy industry solve this dilemma? (Related to Application 5 on page 619.)
