Explanation:
We have to determinate the present value of the proposed annuity of $641 per month over a ten year spawn
Then, the value of the annuity:
C 641.00
time 120 (12 months x 10 years)
rate 0.005416667
PV $56,451.9083
Answer:
The firm should increase output and reduce price
Explanation:
For a monopolist, there can be one of the following three scenarios at a time point in time:
Scenario one, MR = MC: For a monopolist, profit is maximized at the point where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to to marginal cost (MC), i.e. where MR = MC.
Scenario two, MR < MC: But when the MR < MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a higher quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to reduce output until MR = MC.
Scenario three , MR > MC: But when the MR > MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a lower quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to increase output until MR = MC. Also, the monopolist has to reduce price in order to sell the increased quantity of output.
From the question, the monopolist falls into scenerio three as MR > MC, i.e. $45 > $35. Therefore, the monopolist should increase output until MR = MC and reduce price in order to maximize profit.

Explanation:
The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.
In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.
By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.
The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.
The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.
This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.
Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
Sales Price $125,000
Less BV $140, 000
Loss on Sale $15,000
Equipment transferred at BV (Cost $140,000
Less Accumulated Depreciation. $40,000 $100,000 Depreciation.
For 2012
($100,000/5) $40,000 = $60,000
Therefore the Book Value at 12/31/2012 is $60,000
