Two competing coffee shops, 'Bean Haven' and 'Daily Grind', are the only sellers in a small town. Each must decide whether to set a high price or a low price for their coffee. The daily profits for each shop depend on the combination of prices they choose, as shown in the table below (profits are listed as [Bean Haven, Daily Grind]):
Daily Grind: High Price Daily Grind: Low Price Bean Haven: High Price [$1000, $1000] [$400, $1200] Bean Haven: Low Price [$1200, $400] [$700, $700] Given this information, which outcome represents a stable state where neither shop has an incentive to change its pricing strategy on its own?
