Make certain that you have chosen a â€˜goodâ€™ and not a brand name. Remember that several brand names compete in a market. List all the brand names (or at least four brands if there are dozens) and the parent company for each brand name (check the package carefully so that you donâ€™t confuse brand names with the actual producer.) For each good, what is your evidence that this market is oligopolistic? (number of producers; shelf space give to each one; identical pricing.)

Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Fizzo and Pop Hop are both profit-maximizing firms. If Fizzo decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ million if Pop Hop advertises and a profit of $ million if Pop Hop does not advertise. If Fizzo decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of S million if Pop Hop advertises and a profit of $ million if Pop Hop does not advertise.
