Suppose a firm wishes to maximize turnover while freeing up cash to pay dividends. As the game proceeds, the firm should:
Slowly reduce receivables period while slowly increasing payables period
Dramatically reduce both the payables and receivables period
Slowly increase receivables period while slowly reducing payables period
Increasing or decreasing the payables and receivables period will have no effect on the firm's turnover
Homework Answers

In some game theoretic scenarios, there is no Nash equilibrium while players play ‘pure strategies’. This results in players constantly switching their strategies to gain an advantage over their opponents. However, a balance can be achieved by players stochastically mixing the pure strategies, resulting in mixed strategy equilibriums.
