Two companies, Acme and Pinnacle, each decide whether to produce a good quality product or a poor quality product. In the figure, the dollar amounts are payoffs and they represent annual profits (in millions of dollars) for the two companies. Refer to Table 17-7. Which of the following statements is correct? O a. Acme can potentially earn its highest possible profit if it produces a good quality product, and for that reason it is a dominant strategy for Acme to produce a good quality product O b. The highest possible combined profit for the two firms occurs when both produce a poor quality product, and for that reason producing a poor quality product is a dominant strategy for both firms. O c. Regardless of the strategy pursued by Acme, Pinnacle's best strategy is to produce a good quality product, and for that reason producing a good quality product is a dominant strategy for Pinnacle. O d. Our knowledge of game theory suggests that the most likely outcome of the game, if it is played only once, is for one firm to produce a poor quality product and for the other firm to produce a good quality product.
