The following payoff matrix gives profit scenarios for each company (in millions of dollars), depending on whether it chooses to set a high or low price for fryers. Warmbreeze Pricing A-Z High Flashfry Pricing Low High 20, 3 Low 3, 20 10, 10 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfry prices low and Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will earn a profit of $20 million, and Warmbreeze will earn a profit of $3 million.

If Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Flashfry prices low, Warmbreeze will make more profit if it price, and if Warmbreeze prices low, Flashfry will make more profit if it chooses a price.
