By starting at the end of the game and working backwards we know that Firm 1 faces only two possible outcomes. It can
Expand and earn a payoff of 11 or Stay Out and earn a payoff of 4.
The solution to this game is that both firms will Expand. Could Firm 2 have somehow convinced Firm 1 that both should Stay Out? If so they would both earn larger payoffs.
