Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Context

Game theory involves two players. They have more than one option to decide. Pay off from each options adopted by two players are available. They have to select a strategy which will maximize their own return. But for optimizing their decision, they have to consider the action of his rival.

In this problem, two players are firm A and firm B. They have two strategies low output and high output. The strategies of firm a are measured in rows and for firm B in columns. They have to select a strategy which will maximize their payy off. Each cell has two pay offs. First one is for Firm A and second one is for firm B.

1. Dominant strategy is a strategy which will always give higher payoffs in comparison with pay off of other strategies. Consider first strategy of firm 1. If it adopts strategy of low output, then firm 2 can also adopt either strategy of low output or high output. In that case pay off of firm 1 will be 300 or 200.

Alteratively if firm 1 adopts high output then pay offs are 200 or 75. 200 is earned if firm B also go for low productivity. It is 75 if firm B adopts high productivity.

Now compare two payoffs side by side. Note that firm A has higher pay off in low output [300,200] in comparison with the pay off of high output [200,75]. So whatever strategy firm B adopts, Firm A will always go for low production. So low production strategy of firm A dominates high production strategy.

Same result is not observed for firm B. Pay off from low production strategy of firm B is [ 250,75]. Pay off from high production strategy are [100,100]. Now compare the two. If Firm A go for low production, then firm B will select low production. It will give pay off 250. Similarly when firm A decides for high production, then firm will also decide for high production. It will maximize its pay off. Amount is 100. Thus no strategy dominates for firm B.

The steeper an isoquant is ​(labor measured on the horizontal axis​): A. the greater is the level of output. B. the greater is t
Volgvan

Answer:

C. the greater is the marginal productivity of labor relative to that of capital

Explanation:

An isoquant is a curve that shows all the combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output.

When adding one factor holding the other factor constant inevitably, leads to lower output levels, the isoquant must become steeper, as more capital is added instead of labour, and flatter when labour is added instead of capital. Returns to capital even decline.

A lender determines that a homebuyer can afford to borrow $220,000 on a mortgage loan. The lender requires an 85% loan-to-value
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

D: $259,000

Explanation:

The computation of the paying amount which borrower can pay for a property is shown below:

= Mortgage loan amount for borrow ÷  loan-to-value ratio

= $220,000 ÷ 85%

= $258,823.53

= $259,000 round off

We simply divide the mortgage loan by the loan to value ratio so that paying amount could arrive which borrower can pay for a property.

What is supply-side fiscal polioy? Identify each policy action as being focused on the demand side, the supply side, or both. Dr
Advocard [28]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Supply Side Fiscal Policy focuses on how to improve the ability of companies to supply more goods to the economy. The aim being that as companies supply more, they grow more and employ more people.

Demand Side Fiscal Policy on the other hand focuses on how to give more power to the Demand side of the Economy. It holds that increasing demand leads to increased supply which is good for the economy.

Classifying the above,

1. research grants for a corporation developing new technologies. SUPPLY SIDE.

This is aimed at increasing supply by improving the ways a company is able to produce it's goods and services.

2. government-funded scholarships for college students. SUPPLY SIDE.

This is supply side because it leads to more Colleges offering placement to students.

3. stimulus packages for firms that are "too big to fail". DEMAND SIDE.

Companies considered Too big to fail usually hire a lot of people. Keeping them running leads to them being able to pay off their employees which increases the demand in the economy.

4. increasing spending on "shovel-ready" projects. DEMAND SIDE.

Shovel Ready projects are those that are ready to be initiated. By increasing spending on them, they hire people immediately and begin work which increases the income flowing to people in the economy which increases demand.

5. lowering income tax rates at all income levels. BOTH.

By lowering income tax levels people are both able to spend more which increases demand as well as able to Invest more in companies which will increases supply.
