Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
Context
Game theory involves two players. They have more than one option to decide. Pay off from each options adopted by two players are available. They have to select a strategy which will maximize their own return. But for optimizing their decision, they have to consider the action of his rival.
In this problem, two players are firm A and firm B. They have two strategies low output and high output. The strategies of firm a are measured in rows and for firm B in columns. They have to select a strategy which will maximize their payy off. Each cell has two pay offs. First one is for Firm A and second one is for firm B.
1. Dominant strategy is a strategy which will always give higher payoffs in comparison with pay off of other strategies. Consider first strategy of firm 1. If it adopts strategy of low output, then firm 2 can also adopt either strategy of low output or high output. In that case pay off of firm 1 will be 300 or 200.
Alteratively if firm 1 adopts high output then pay offs are 200 or 75. 200 is earned if firm B also go for low productivity. It is 75 if firm B adopts high productivity.
Now compare two payoffs side by side. Note that firm A has higher pay off in low output [300,200] in comparison with the pay off of high output [200,75]. So whatever strategy firm B adopts, Firm A will always go for low production. So low production strategy of firm A dominates high production strategy.
Same result is not observed for firm B. Pay off from low production strategy of firm B is [ 250,75]. Pay off from high production strategy are [100,100]. Now compare the two. If Firm A go for low production, then firm B will select low production. It will give pay off 250. Similarly when firm A decides for high production, then firm will also decide for high production. It will maximize its pay off. Amount is 100. Thus no strategy dominates for firm B.
Answer:
C) Around $56,100
Explanation:
total maintenance costs should be:
<u>year</u> <u>cost</u>
1 $0
2 $0
3 $0
4 $3,500
5 $5,250
6 $7,000
7 $8,750
8 $10,500
9 $12,250
10 $14,000
11 $15,750
12 $17,500
to determine the present value of the 12 year annuity we can use an excel spreadsheet and the present value function:
=PV (6%,select the 12 cells) = $56,099.39 ≈ $56,100
Answer: A - saver or as a supplier of funds
Explanation: From the above question, Monika is a saver because her income exceeds her expenses.
In this case she saves more on a regular basis because she controls her expenses and would not allow her expenses to be more than her income.
Going further, she is also a supplier of funds as her excess funds kept in the bank is a source of funds for the bank to loan out to generate interest.
