Answer:
Explanation:
What is given:
The price of a new fabricating machine - 60
The price of a one-year-old machine - 51
The real interest rate is 10% per year
Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)
If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%
a) Find user cost of capital
User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine
= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units
b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit
165-2K=15
2K = 150
K = 75 machines
c)
Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?
165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)
165-2K=14/0.6
165-2K=25
2K=140
K=70 macines

Note, the Growth-Share Matrix is designed to assist companies in determining which among their investment portfolio is worth directing resources and capital into and that would be most profitable. It is represented in four quadrants.
Among all the quadrants, the Star quadrant is meant for investments with great future potential. We could recall that there's a positive projection for MJS, it was said that the<em> "fruit market is expected to have a double-digit growth rate over the next decade." </em>Hence, MJS would most likely be classified as a star.

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.
