Answer:

11%

Explanation:

The returns on an investment can be calculated as:

r=\frac{I}{P}\cdot 100

where:

r is the return

I is the interest earned in the investment

P is the principal (the amount of money invested)

In this problem for Ivy, we have:

P = $5,000 (amount invested by Ivy)

I = $550 (interest earned by Ivy)

Therefore, the return on the investment is:

r=\frac{550}{5000}\cdot 100 = 0.11\cdot 100 = 11\%

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. The optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0)

b. Yes, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because \pi ^{Cheat} > \pi ^{Cooperate}.

Explanation:

a. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year.

Note: See the attached excel file for the Representation of one shot normal for of the game played between "You" and "Your Rival" together with the payoffs.

From the attached excel file, the dominant strategy is for “You” and “Your Rival” to charge “Low Price” each. If the dominant strategy is played by “You” and “Your Rival”, the optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0).

b. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.

When we have a year-after-year competition between “You” and “Your Rival” but with a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander, the payoffs of the firm that continue to comply with the collusive strategy of charging “High Price” by each firm under the normal trigger strategy whereby “You” and “Your Rival” agree to charge high price as long as there is no past deviation by any of the firm, otherwise charge a low price is as follows:

\pi ^{Cooperate} = $6 + $6(100% - 60%) + $6(100% - 60%)^2 + 6(100% - 60%)^2 …….

\pi ^{Cooperate} = $6 / 6% = $10

Therefore, what the firm that cheats earn today is $11 million and it earns $0 forever. The implication of this is that \pi ^{Cheat} = $11

Therefore, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because \pi ^{Cheat} > \pi ^{Cooperate}.

Alex's country was once communist, but now allows limited private ownership of companies, and lets market forces determine production and pricing decision is the kind of 'Market Socialist' economy.

Market socialism, sometimes known as liberal socialism, is an economic system that strikes a balance between free enterprise and socialist planning. In this system, businesses are publicly owned, but output and consumption are determined by the market rather than by governmental planning.

In real life, Market socialism components have been present in a number of different economies. A version of market-based socialism, based on socially owned cooperatives, workers' self-management, and market allocation of capital, is usually regarded as having existed in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Advertising can play a major role in ____________and promoting cultural norms, which has drawn criticism from advocacy groups ar
trapecia [35]

Answer:

C) propagating certain cultural stereotypes

Explanation:

This is true not only for advertising but also for many mass media products. The problem is that sometimes reality is very different than the stereotypes that are portrayed.

One of the most controversial issues is the models' weight. Models tend to be usually much thinner than regular people, and that leads to a misconception that being extremely thin is good and healthy. Besides personal beauty preferences, a girl who is 5 foot 10 and weighs only 100 pounds is not healthy.

Similar issues like portraying certain family or lifestyle stereotypes may also have positive or negative effects on the audience since advertisement reaches millions of people.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

D. Spending on services is smaller than the amount of consumption spending on durable and nondurable goods.
