The profits for both manufacturers are shown in the following matrix, where New Deer's payoffs are reported on the lower left-hand side corner of each cell, and John Holl-And's payoffs are reported on the upper right-hand side corner of each cell. John Holl-And High Price Moderate Price New Deer High Price $0.8 billion $1.4 billion $0.6 billion $0.9 billion Moderate Price $0.5 billion $1.9 billion $0.7 billion $1.1 billion
