To solve this problem, let us try to break down each scenario one by one. We must calculate the total earnings that the two companies receive for each scenario.

Scenario 1: Neither company advertise

Earning of PM Inc = $ 50 M

Earning of Brown Inc = $ 50 M

Total Earning = $ 100 M

Scenario 2: Both companies advertise

Earning of PM Inc = $ 40 M

Earning of Brown Inc = $ 40 M

Total Earning = $ 80 M

Scenario 3: One company advertise, let us say PM Inc is the company who advertise and Brown Inc does not

Earning of PM Inc = $ 60 M

Earning of Brown Inc = $ 30 M

Total Earning = $ 90 M

We can see that Scenario 1 has the largest total earnings of all scenarios. Therefore the best strategy is:

A. neither company will advertise
