Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.
2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.
Explanation:
1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.
This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.
If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.
2. If the firms could cooperate with each other, both firms would choose the high price.
The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

Answer:
d. $2,676
Explanation:
The computation of the horizontal value is shown below:
FCF1 = (100 × 1.06) = 106
FCF2 = (106 × 1.06) = 112.36
FCF3 = (112.36 × 1.06) = 119.1016
FCF4 = (119.1016 × 1.06) = 126.247696
FCF5 = (126.247696 × 1.06) = 133.8225578
Now
Horizon value is
= FCF5 ÷ (Cost of capital - Growth rate)
= 133.8225578 ÷ (0.08 - 0.03)
= $2,676
Hence, the correct option is d.
Answer:
7.28%
Explanation:
For this question we use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below:
Provided that
Present value = $1,075
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the coupon rate is
= 3.64% × 2
= 7.28%
Answer:
Attrition
Explanation:
The right answer to the question is attrition and what is attrition in business sense: is simply means a situation where organization staff strength gradually and deliberately reduces as employees retire or resign and are not replaced.
So in this case Maria retire and nobody was hired to replace her position in the company and again all her subordinates were reassigned to other departments. It is also worth noting that attrition could also be a way of a company is losing her customer base as a result of other factors
The answer to this question is Simple;informal
Simple contracts usually will be used if the transaction happens in small scale (it held small amount of value)
Which means that both parties either believe in one another or they simply do not care enough about the contract to care about the legal precautions.
