Answer:

A. The Stackelberg, but not the Cournot, model can be constructed as a sequential game

Explanation:

What is Oligopoly

This is a form of market where a market or an industry is dominated by large sellers who exist in a small quantity. An oligopoly has it own market structure and it results from the different types of collusion that lead to increase in prices for consumers and reduced competition.

Oligopoly as a Game

It is said that the firms in an oligopolistic market are playing games against each other. This is explained in the fact that since they are large sellers in the same market, they exist as rival firms and they make use of guessing or inferrences to understand the strategies of one another and choose a best response as a competitor.

It is in the bid to understand this competition that the game theory is applid to Oligopoly and different types of models come into play

Sequential Games Vs Continous Games

The question is specifically asking for the Oligopoly behaviour model that can be constructed as a sequential game.

The Stackelberg Duopoly

This Oligopoly model is a modelof Games Theory that can be applied to understand Oligopolistic behavour.  This model is also known as the Stakelberg Competititon and it is imperfect competition model that is based on a non-competitive or a sequential game construction.

The Stackelberg model was developed by Heinrich Stackelberg in 1934 in a work called "Market Structure and Equilibrum" and as a model that is developed from different starting assumptions it represents a breaking point in the study of market structure.

In the Stackelberg Model game, let's assume there are two firms subject to the same demand and cost functions but selling homogeneous products. One of the two firms who is given the position of the leader has the advantage of being better known or has a better brand equity giving him abetter placement to decide which quantity of the homogeneous product to sell first.

The second firm who take s the position of teh follower is must therefore observe the actions of the first firm and decide on the quantity of the same product to produce.

The strength of the Stackelberg model therefore, is to use a backward induction method as obtainable in any sequential game to decide the production quantity of firm B

The Cournot model on the other haand is called a simultaneous model.

Answer:

B. The cost of utilities is deductible for AGI

Explanation:

The entire cost of the utilities would be for AGI deduction assuming no personal use of the condo. The employer portion of Marilyn's self-employment tax would be deductible as well.

Adjusted gross income (AGI) is a measure of income calculated from your gross income and used to determine how much of your income is taxable. It is the starting point for calculating a filer's tax bill in the United States and, among other things, is the basis for many deductions and credits. When filing your taxes online—as about 80% of filers do—the software you use will calculate your AGI for you.

A company uses the weighted-average method for inventory costing. At the end of the period, 22,000 units were in the ending Work
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

a.The ending work in process inventory is $ 146,575

Explanation:

To determine the ending work in process inventory, we need to do the following computations:

No of units in ending inventory                                    22,000 units

Material cost in ending inventory

22,000 units * 100 % (completion) * $ 2.65                     $ 58,300  

Conversion costs in ending inventory  

22,000 units * 75 % (completion) * $ 5.35                      <u> $ 88,275</u>

Total value of Ending work in process inventory        <u> $ 146,575</u>

Variable Expenses ($402,100)

Contribution Margin $371,800

Avoidable Expenses of B90D

Fixed Manufacturing Expenses        $186,000

Fixed Selling and Admin Expenses  %161,200

Total Avoidable expenses                 $347,200
