Use the following payoff matrix for a simultaneous-move one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. Player 2
Strategy C D E F
Player 1 A 10, 23 14, 20 20, 16 22, 14
B 14, 26 8, 5 20, 9 19, 14
Determine player 1’s equilibrium payoff.

Explanation:

Player 1

If Player 1 chooses strategy A

then the player 2's best outcome of 23 comes from strategy C.

If Player 1 chooses strategy B

then the player 2's best outcome of 26 comes from strategy C.

Player 2

If Player 2 chooses strategy C,

then the player 1's best outcome of 14 comes from strategy B.

If Player 2 chooses strategy D

then player 1's best outcome of 14 comes from strategy A.

If Player 2 chooses strategy E

then player 1's best outcome of 20 comes from strategies A and B.

If Player 2 chooses to strategy F

then player 1's best outcome of 22 comes from strategy A.

Hence, the better off play of both player is as follow

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
