Company M and N compete for market and decide independently how much to advertise. Each can expend either $10 million or $20 million on advertising. If the firms spend equal amounts, they split the $120 million market equally. (for instance, if both choose to spend $20, each firm's net profit is 60-20=$40 million.) If one firm spends $20 million and other $10 million, the former claims two-thirds of the market and the latter one third.
