Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let the normal retail price of the sweater be 'SP' and the cost price be 'CP'

Therefore,

The selling price = SP - 40% of SP = SP - 0.4SP = 0.6SP

Now,

the profit = 20% of CP = 0.2CP

also,

Profit = Selling Price - Actual price

or

0.2CP = 0.6SP - CP

or

1.2CP = 0.6SP

Or

CP = 0.5SP

or

SP = 2CP

thus,

Increase percentage in sweater marked up from wholesale at its normal retail price

= \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

or

=  \frac{2CP-CP}{CP}\times 100

= 100%

Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip use
Dima020 [189]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a) When both Hitachi and Toshiba engage in a limited campaign, they both earn $11 million.

If both engage in an extensive campaign they both earn $8 million.

However, if one firm engages in an extensive campaign and the other firm engages in a limited one, the firm engaging in a limited campaign earns $4 million while the one engaging in an extensive campaign earns $16 million.

I have attached a photo to show the payoff matrix as a table.

b) In the absence of a binding and enforceable agreement, that is to say that if both firms are not colluding, Hitachi's dominant strategy would be to engage in an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

A Firm's dominant strategy in absence of an agreement is that strategy that a firm can go on and make a maximum amount of profit regardless of what the other firm does.

Should Hitachi engage in an Extensive Campaign, they will make $16 million in quarterly profit if Toshiba engages in a Limited Campaign. Should Toshiba also decide to engage in an Extensive Campaign, then Hitachi makes a profit of $8 million. This is therefore their best alternative as opposed to embarking on a limited Campaign where there is a chance that they will make $4 million.

With the Extensive Campaign, Hitachi's Minimum Payoff is $8 million.

c) The game is the same for both players so the best option for Hitachi, is the best option for Toshiba as well. This means that Toshiba's dominant Strategy is an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN and their minimum payoff is $8 million as well.

Over the next three years, Distant Groves will pay annual dividends of $.65, $.70, and $.75 a share, respectively. After that, d
olganol [36]

Answer:

The share is worth $5.68 today.

Explanation:

The current price of the stock can be calculated using the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

The following is the formula for the price of the stock today,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  + ... +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +  Terminal value / (1+r)^n

The terminal value is the cumulative value of all the future dividends calculated when the dividend growth becomes zero or constant. In case the dividend growth becomes constant, like in this case, the terminal value is calculated as follows,

Terminal value = Dn * (1+g) / r - g

Where,

  • g is the Constant growth rate in dividends

So, the price of this stock today is,

P0 = 0.65 / (1+0.145)  +  0.70 / (1+0.145)^2  +  0.75 / (1+0.145)^3  +  

((0.75 * (1+0.02) / (0.145 - 0.02)) / (1+0.145)^3

P0 = $5.678 rounded off to $5.68
