Answer:
1. Please find it attached.
If both of them don't get lawyers they will each make half of the $5 million being $2.5 million a piece.
If one side hires a lawyer and the other doesn't, the side with the lawyer will win 0.9 of $5 million which is $4,500,000. However they would have paid the lawyer $200,000 so that payout drops to $4,500,000. The other would make 0.1 which is $500,000.
If they both get a lawyer they will each get half which is $2,500,000 but they would both have paid their lawyers $200,000 a piece so the net payout would be $2,300,000.
2. The Nash Equilibrium is the alternative that it would not serve either party to deviate from as it serves them both well. The Nash Equilibriums would be If both don't get a lawyer or if both get a lawyer.
3. Yes they would because without lawyers they would make more money as they would not have to pay the $200,000 in fees.

Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Collusion is a secret agreement between two or more parties to suppress open competition by misleading, lying or defrauding others of their rightfulness or achieving a goal prohibited by law that usually is to defraud or gain an unacceptable market advantage.
It is an agreement between companies or individuals that divides a market establishes prices, limits or limits production opportunities. It can include "strike, pay manipulation, kickbacks or the freedom of the relationship between the two parties." All collusion-driven actions are considered null and void legally.
In the USA, Canada collusion is illegal because of antitrust legislation, but implicit collusion even now takes place in the method of price management and tacit agreement.
Example: Google and Apple announced that both firms decided not to hire people to work together to stop wage growth in 2015, a statement against bullying collusion by employees.
Answer:
1% negative
Explanation:
<u>a. What is the real interest rate?</u>
the inflation premium is an added value to the real interest rate to cover the effect of inflation and be more attractive to potential investor:
real interest rate + inflation premium = nominal interest rate
real interest rate + 2% = 1%
we clear real interest:
real interes rate = 1% - 2% = -1%
The real interest is 1% negative

Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
