Martha and Oleg are competitors in a local market and each is trying to decide if it is worthwhile to advertise. If both of them

ad-work [718]

Answer: Martha does not have a dominant strategy

Explanation:

A dominant strategy is one that a player can embark on and get the highest payoff regardless of the actions of their competitor.

In this scenario, there is no strategy that Martha can embark on that would provide the greatest payout regardless of Oleg's decision. If Martha advertises, Oleg makes the same amount advertising as well. If Martha does not advertise, Oleg would decide not to advertise as well and make the same amount.

Martha therefore has no dominant strategy as Oleg would make the same amount regardless of which decision is taken.

Answer:

1. 6.52 years

IRR = 10.93%

NPV = $9,851.30

4. yes

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow

$215,000 / $33,000 = 6.52 years

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-215,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $33,000

I = 10%

NPV = $9,851.30

IRR = 10.93%

The project is acceptable because the IRR is greater than the cost of capital

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

and the NPV is positive
