Question: Consider a static sequential move game where player 1 moves first, then player 2 . Player 1 gets to choose to move Up or Down.

Consider a static sequential move game where player 1 moves first, then player 2. Player 1 gets to choose to move Up or Down. Player 2 gets to move Left or Right. If player 1 moves Up and player 2 moves Left, payoffs are (10,4)(where 10 is the playoff for player 1 and 4 is the payoff for player 2). If player 1 moves Up and player 2 moves Right, payoffs are (100,2). If player 1 moves Down and player 2 moves Left, payoffs are (4,15). If player 1 moves Down and player 2 moves Right, payoffs are (7,12).
A) Formalize the game tree to this game.
B) Determine the Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium (SPNE).
C) Suppose now that player 2 gets to move first. What is the SPNE? Does it differ from part B)? Why or why not?
