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: $4,800
Explanation:
First find the Annual holding cost:
= Average inventory * Cost of holding a unit
= 500/2 * 1 * 12 months
= $3,000
Then find the Annual ordering cost:
= Expected units to be sold/ Units ordered * Ordering cost
= 9,000/500 * 100
= $1,800
Annual Inventory cost = Annual holding cost + Annual ordering cost
= 3,000 + 1,800
= $4,800
Answer:
Testerman Construction Co.
Internal rate of return method in analyzing capital expenditure:
Present value of expenditure = $149,630
Present of cash inflows annuity = $149,630 (using 20% discount rate and present value annuity factor of 3.3251 x $45,000)
NPV = $0 (PV of cash outflow - PV of cash inflow)
Therefore, the IRR = 20%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment cost = $149,630
Annual net cash flows = $45,000
Investment period = 6 years
Annuity of future cash flows = 3.3251
b) Testerman’s IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a capital budgeting and analysis tool which determines the discount rate that makes the present value of future inflows equal to the present value of outflows from a project. This IRR helps the managers to determine the projects that add value and are worth undertaking. IRR is based on assumptions. Similar projects with the same IRR will differ in returns due to the differences in timing and the size of the cash, the amount of debts and equity used to generate the returns, and the assumption of a constant reinvestment may which IRR makes.
