EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich

. Both are considering adding an additional daily train to this route. The payoff matrix shows the payoffs for each railway, where Swiss Rail values are in italics and EuroRail values are in bold. Assume that both companies have complete knowledge of the other's payoff matrix. Add train Add train $4,000 $1,500 $2,000 $4,000 Do not add train $7,500 $2,000 $3,000 $3,000 Do not add train Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game. O Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train. EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train, whereas Swiss Rail does not have a dominant strategy. Neither company has a dominant strategy. EuroRail's dominant strategy is to not add the train, whereas Swiss Rail's dominant strategy is to add the train. Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game? O Yes, it exists in the lower left quadrant. O No, it does not exist. Yes, it exists in the upper right quadrant. Yes, it exists in the upper left quadrant.

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.

jonny [76]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

Security A : 11 = 1( 1 + r)^15

11^(1/15) =  1( 1 + r)

1.173 = 1 + r

r = 1.173 - 1

r = 17.33%

Security A : 16 = 1( 1 + r)^15

16^(1/15) =  1( 1 + r)

1.20 = 1 + r

r = 1.2 - 1

r = 0.2

r = 20%

Security B earned a higher average annual rate of return as 20% is greater than 17.33%

$2,400 in 2019 are deductible as alimony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hillary get divorced in the year = 2016

She has to pay her ex-spouse $200 per month until her son reaches 18 years of age in 7 years.

His son will reach of the age of 18 = 2016 + 7 = 2023

She has to pay $200 till 2023 and $120 thereafter.

Her payments are deductible as alimony in 2019 would be = $200 × 12

                                                                                                 = $2,400

$2,400 in 2019 are deductible as alimony.

The right side of the balance sheet shows the firm's liabilities and stockholders' equity. Which of the following best describes
Leokris [45]

Answer:

1. Equity is the difference between the company's assets and liabilities.

2. D. $83

Explanation:

Req. A

We know,

The accounting equation is

Total asset = total liabilities + total stockholders' equity

Therefore, total asset - total liabilities = total stockholders' equity

So, we can say that equity is the difference between the company's assets and liabilities. However, equity cannot be claimed before the liabilities. Therefore, the option "A" is the correct answer.

Req. B

                          Now Inc.

      Statement of retained earnings

For the year ended, December 31, 20XX

Beginning retained earnings (Last year)                $527

Add: Net Income (Current year)                                 176

Less: Dividend (Balancing)                                   <u>     </u><u>(83)</u>

Ending retained earning (Current year)                 $620

Calculation: $(527 + 176 - 620) = $83

Therefore, the option "D" is the correct answer.
