Question:
There are two firms that are considering entering a new market, and must make their decision without knowing what the other firm has done. Unfortunately the market is only big enough to support one of the two firms. If both firms enter the market then they will each make a loss of £20 million. If only one firm enters the market, that firm will earn a profit of £80 million, and the other firm will just break even. If both firms do not enter the market, then they will just break even as well

d.Based on a maximin strategy, what will be the outcome? (explain the decision step by step).
