Answer:
D. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 and Firm 2 each to produce 10.
Explanation:
Firm 2
10 units 20 units
10 units 30 / 50 /
Firm 1 30 35
20 units 40 / 20 /
60 20
(firm 1 /
firm 2)
Firm 1's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 50 = 80
Firm 2's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 60 = 90
Since both firms have the same dominant strategy (to produce 10 units), there is a Nash Equilibrium where both firms produce 10 units and each one earns 30.
Answer: $2750
Explanation:
The original budget was $50,000 for the month, $20,000 has been spent already after which there was a revision of the monthly budget to $75,000.
Since $20000 has been spent, the remaining budget will be:
= $75000 - $20000
= $55000
Also, the money was spent for 11 days, therefore the number of days remaining will be:
= 31 - 11
= 20 days.
Therefore, the new daily budget for the month will be:
= $55,000 / 20 days
= $2,750
Answer:
a. 35.29%
Explanation:
The computation of the tax rate that could be non-different between the two bonds is shown below:
Given that
Corporate Bond yield = 8.5%
Municipal bonds yield = 5.5%
based on the above information
Tax Rate is
= 1 - (
Municipal bonds yield - Corporate Bond yield)
= 1 - (5.5% ÷ 8.5%)
= 35.29%
Hence, the tax rate is 35.29%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Answer:
Annual rate of return of building a new salon 15%.
Explanation:
We have Annual rate of return = Average Annual Profit / Average Investment;
in which: Average Annual Profit = Average annual revenues - Average annual expenses (including depreciation) = 68,500 - 41,200 = $27,300 ( because annual revenues and annual expenses including depreciation are estimated at the same level through out 15 years of the new salon's useful life).
Average investment = (Original investment + Net book value at the end of investment) /2 = ( 286,000 + 78,000) /2 = $182,000 ( because Net book value at the end of investment is equal to Estimated salvage value at the end of the salon useful life).
Thus, Annual rate of return = 27,300 / 182,000 = 0.15 = 15%.
