Answer:

The correct answer is Dell will offer​ $20 per copy of the software and Symantec will accept the offer.

Explanation:

A Nash equilibrium is a situation in which all players have put into practice, and know that they have done so, a strategy that maximizes their earnings given the strategies of others. Consequently, no player has any incentive to individually modify their strategy.

It is important to keep in mind that a Nash equilibrium does not imply that the best joint result for the participants is achieved, but only the best result for each of them considered individually. It is perfectly possible that the result would be better for everyone if, in some way, the players coordinated their action.

In economic terms, it is a kind of imperfect balance of competition that describes the situation of several companies competing for the market of the same good and who can choose how much to produce to try to maximize their profit.

C) 3.14%

D) 13.74

E) $13.91

F) IBM's P/E  at 13.74 is higher than Exxon Mobil P/E at 11.29

G) The possible reasons for the difference in P/E is due to the difference in EPS earned by each company and also the difference in stock price of each company's stock

Explanation:

Referring the the recent issue of the wall street Journal at NYSE-Composite Transactions

A) The Latest price of IBM stock = $191.08

B)  What are the annual dividend payment and the dividend yield on IBM stock

The annual dividend = $0.85 per share

dividend yield = 1.78%

C) calculate what the yield will become if yearly dividend is moved up to $1.50

first we find the price per share

price per share = annual dividend per share / current dividend yield

                         = 0.85 / 1.78%  = 0.85 / 0.0178 = $47.75

since we now have the price per share value we can now calculate the dividend yield

dividend yield = annual dividend / price per share

                       = $1.50 / $47.75 =  0.0314

                       = 3.14 %

D) Calculate the P/E on IBM stock

 = 13.74 times as it was traded for the last 12 months

E) calculate IBM's earnings per share using P/E

 earnings per share = Price / P/E

 Latest  price of IBM stock = $191.08

  P/E = 13.74

 earnings per share =  191.08 / 13.74  = $13.91

F) IBM's P/E  at 13.74 is higher than Exxon Mobil P/E at 11.29

G) The possible reasons for the difference in P/E is due to the difference in EPS earned by each company and also the difference in stock price of each company's stock

New shoes are on SALE. You find a pair you like for $85 dollars. But you only have $45 with you. So, you pay $40 and charge the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

$46.8

Explanation:

The shoe is worth $85. You pay a deposit of $40. The balance is $45.

So $45  is charged at 8% interest for six months.

Simple interest I= p x r x t

In this case, p is $45,

r is 8%

t= 6 months or 0.5 years

I = $45 x 8/100 x 0.5

I= $45 x 0.08 x 0.5

I=$1.8

The total amount owed will be $45 + $1.8

=$46.8

Amanda [17]

Answer:

1.- thwe cash payment are the same for each period as the coupon bond rate is fixed:

2,600,000 face value x 5% coupon rate / 2 payment per year = <em>65,000</em>

<em>On the last payment, we are going to calculate 65,000 + face value</em>

<em>2,600,000 + 65,000 = 2,665,000</em>

<em>2.- amortization per period 19,513</em>

<em>3.- interest expense per period 45,487</em>

<em>4.- 45,487 interest expense per period x 30 payment dates =  1,364,610</em>

cash    3,182,390  debit

   bonds payable   2,600,000 credit

   premium on BP     585,390 credit

-- to record issuance --

interest expense 45,487 debit

premium on BP    19,513 debit

    cash                                  65,000 credit

-- entry for each payment date--

Explanation:

proceeds: 3,182,390

face value: 2,600,000

premium:       585,390

amortization per period:

585,390 / 30 payment = 19,513

This will be the amortization on the premium on bonds payable for each payment

3.- as the amortization is fixed under straight-line method the interest expense is also fixed:

65,000 cash proceeds - 19,513 amortization = 45,487 interest expense
