Answer:
This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.
Explanation:
We need to first calculate what is the future value of payments in both scenarios. If we receive $9,000 today and invest it at 10% for 6 years we will have 9000*1.10^6=15,944
If we start reviving cash in 4 annual payments 2 years from now of $3000 we will have to find the future value of each individual payment and add them up.
First payment Future value = 3000*1.10^4=4392 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)
Second payment future value = 3000*1.10^3=3993 (Money can be invested for 3 years at 10%)
Third payment future value = 3000*1.10^2=3630 (Money can be invested for 4 years at 10%)
Fourth payment future value = 3000*1.1=3300
Add them all up = 15315
This means that receiving 9000 today is better for us as we will have more at the end of 6 years.
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.
Worried by falling stock prices and plunging sales, cigarette makers are lobbying hard to prevent the government from hiking excise duty for the third straight year.
Industry body, The Tobacco Institute of India in its budget submission to the finance ministry has requested the government to maintain the current duty on cigarettes and reduce duty on the smaller size sub-65 mm length filter to Rs 200 per thousand sticks from Rs 669 per thousand cigarettes to allow the industry
Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53
Explanation:
we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that
Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)
Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)
Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)
Expected return=0.06+ 0.12
Expected return=0.18
Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g to find the growth rate
Where Po= current price of stock at $50
D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year
R = Expected return = 0.18
50= 6/ 0.18-g
50(0.18-g) =6
9-50g=6
50g=9-6
g= 3/50
g=0.06 = 6%
Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.
Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g
= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06
=6+0.36/0.12
=6.36/0.12= $53
