Suppose that Fizzo and Pop Hop are the only two firms that sell orange soda. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in mi
S_A_V [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A pay off matrix has been attached.

If Fizzo decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of ($8 million) if Pop Hop advertises and a profit of ($15 million) if Pop Hop does not advertise.

If Fizzo decides not to advertise, then, it will earn a profit of ($2 million) if Pop Hop advertises and on the other hand, a profit of ($11 million) if Pop Hop does not advertise.

If Pop Hop advertises, then Fizzo makes a higher profit if it chooses (to advertise). On the other hand, if Pop Hop doesn't advertise, then Fizzo will make higher profit if it chooses (to advertise).

In a scenario whereby the firms act independently, the strategies that they will choose is that that both of the firms will prefer and choose to advertise.

An individual consumes products X and Y and spends $36 per time period. The prices of the two goods are $3 per unit for X and $2
vekshin1

Answer:

a) 3X + 2Y = 36

b) X = 6 , Y = 9

c) 27

Explanation:

Individual consumes : X and Y

Spends : $36 per time period

unit cost : $3 per unit for X

                 $2 per unit for Y

utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY

<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>

X* Px + Y* Py = M

3X + 2Y = 36

Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y

M = Total spent ( revenue )

<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>

Maximum utility ( MRS )  = Px / Py ,

MRS = MUx / MUy

 = Y/X  = 3/2

∴ 2Y = 3X

From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )

∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9

<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>

U( X,Y ) = .5XY

            = 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27

At the high level of activity in November, 12000 machine hours were run and power costs were $20000. In April, a month of low ac
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$6,500

Explanation:

For computing the estimated fixed cost, we have to determine the variable cost per hour which is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High power cost - low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($20,000 - $11,000) ÷ (12,000 hours - 4,000 hours)

= $9,000 ÷ 8,000 hours

= $1.125

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High power cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $20,000 - (12,000 hours × $1.125)

= $20,000 - $13,500

= $6,500
