The next two questions are based on the following information: Suppose the market for computer chips is dominated by two firms: Intel and AMD. Intel has discovered how to make superior chips and is considering whether or not to adopt the new technology. Adoption would entail a fixed setup cost of F but would increase revenues. However, if Intel adopts the new technology, AMD can easily copy it at a lower setup cost of F/2. If Intel adopts and AMD does not, Intel would earn $20 in revenues while AMD would earn $0. If Intel adopts and AMD does likewise, each firm will earn $7 in revenues. If Intel does not adopt the new technology, it will earn $3 and AMD will earn $2. Each firm cares only about its own profits. The extensive form representation of the game is shown below. Suppose F = 16. Then, using backward induction, what prediction do we obtain?
