Matrix payoff:
Sharon
Left Right
Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4
Right 5, 3 5, 4
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.
Explanation:
a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.
b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.
Answer:
$10 profit
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.
Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.
Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.
Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.
To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.
Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit

Explanation:
Calculation for what amount would the company have to charge for the Tijerina wedding cake to just break even
Size related $69.16
($1.33 per guest × 52 guests)
Complexity-related $56.84
($28.42 per tier × 2 tiers)
Order-related $74.72
($74.92 per order × 1 order)
Cost of purchased decorations for cake $29.30
Total cost $230.02
($69.16+$56.84+$74.72+$29.30)
The amount that the company would have to charge for the Tijerina wedding cake to just break even will be $230.02
