Answer:
Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.
- Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.
Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?
- A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).
Explanation:
we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:
Swiss Rails
add train do not add train
$1,500 / $2,000 /
add train $4,000 $7,500
EuroRail
do not add train $4,000 / $3,000 /
$2,000 $3,000
Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.
EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.
A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.
Answer:
$5
Explanation:
The computation of Alice's consumer surplus is shown below:
Consumer surplus = Willing to spend - Market price after considering the discount
where
Willing to spend = $30
Market price equals to
= Purchase a pair of jeans - coupon rate
= $35 - $10
= $25
So, the consumer surplus is equal to
= $30 - $25
= $5
If it’s free then I don’t think they need to determine the price bc it’s free
Answer:
1. Under command-and-control regulation, the government will sometimes specify the technology that firms must use in production. TRUE, e.g. currently the US government banned Huawei from providing 5G technology in the US due to security concerns even though that provides the best 5G technology in the world.
2. The government may decide on a specific amount of pollution that firms can legally emit. TRUE, the EPA sets the standards and companies must follow them, whether they are too high or too low maybe subject to an extensive debate.
3. A limitation of a command-and-control regulation is that firms have no incentive to remove pollution once they are within the legal pollution limits. TRUE, if the company is complying with current regulation, then that is all it needs to keep functioning without any problem.
4. Command and control situations are always the best option when it comes to reducing the amount of pollution. FALSE, when is the government or Congress the most efficient at doing something. Efficiency is not a characteristic of any government entity.
5. Command-and-control is more flexible than market-based regulation. FALSE, the terms command and control should give you an idea that government intervention can be anything but flexible.
6. A command-and-control regulation is subject to political considerations. TRUE, command and control regulation is set up by government agencies or Congress and both are political entities by definition. E.g. some governments impose harder environmental controls through the EPA, others impose softer or no controls at all.
Answer:
$14,500
Explanation:
From the above, the below details are given;
Authorized share capital , which represent maximum number of shares that a company is allowed to issue.
Issued shares, which is the number of shares issued by a company including shares purchased and backed by a company(treasury stock).
There is also outstanding shares which is treasury stock less issued shares.
We do also know that treasury stock does not have any right of dividend because the shares are held by the company hence cannot pay dividend to itself.
Therefore, the total amount of the cash dividend is = 14,500 × $1.00
= $14,500
