What is the subgame perfect equilibrium outcome


Solve the below problem:

Q: NSG is considering entry into the local phone market in the Bay Area. The incumbent S&P, predicts that a price war will result if NSG enters. If NSG stays out, S&P earns monopoly profits valued at $10 million (net present value, or NPV of profits), while NSG earns zero. If NSG enters, it must incur irreversible entry costs of $2 million. If there is a price war, each firm earns $1 million (NPV). S&P always has the option of accommodating entry (i.e., not starting a price war). In such a case, both firms earn $4 million (NPV). Suppose that the timing is such that NSG first has to choose whether or not to enter the market. Then S&P decides whether to "accommodate entry" or "engage in a price war." What is the subgame perfect equilibrium outcome to this sequential game? (Set up a game tree.)
