A market has only two sellers. They are both trying to decide on a pricing strategy. If both firms charge a high price, then each firm will experience a 5\% increase in profits. If both firms charge a low price, then each firm will experience a 3\% increase in profits. If Firm 1 charges a high price and Firm 2 charges a low price, then Firm 1 will experience a 1\% increase in profits and Firm 2 will experience a 6\% increase in profits. If Firm 2 charges a high price and Firm 1 charges a low price, then Firm 2 will experience a 2\% increase in profits and Firm 1 will experience a 7\% increase in profits.

(c) Determine the optimal strategy for each firm.
(d) Determine the Nash equilibrium.
