Answer:

A- Both firms will set the price at $35

Explanation:

When there is no collusion,

When Y charges $40, X's best strategy is to charge $35 since payoff is higher ($59 > $57).

When Y charges $35, X's best strategy is to charge $35 since payoff is higher ($55 > $50).

When X charges $40, Y's best strategy is to charge $35 since payoff is higher ($69 > $60).

When X charges $35, Y's best strategy is to charge $35 since payoff is higher ($58 > $59).

Therefore Nash equilibrium is: ($35, $35).

What is depreciation expense?

A fixed asset's share that has been deemed consumed in the current period is subject to depreciation expense. The cost is subsequently added to the expense list. With this charge, the carrying amount of fixed assets will be steadily decreased as their value is depleted over time. There is no cash outflow related to this item because it is non-monetary.

When an entry is made to the depreciation expenditure account, the contra asset account that offsets the fixed assets (asset) account is the accumulated depreciation account. Over the course of a fiscal year, the balance in the depreciation expenditure account grows; at year's end, the account is flushed out and its balance is reset to zero.

A company has the following asset account balances: Buildings and equipment $9,200,000 Accumulated depreciation 1,200,000 Patent
Elis [28]

Answer:

$14,000,000

Explanation:

To be reported under Property, Plant and Equipment:

= (Buildings and equipment - Accumulated depreciation) + Land Improvements + Land

= ($9,200,000 - $1,200,000) + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $8,000,000 + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $14,000,000

Note:

(1) Intangible Assets (Patents) will be reported after Plant, Property and Equipment. These are not a part of plant, Property and Equipment.

(2) There is no information about the useful life of the Land, so the value of land improvements will be included in the property, plant, & equipment section.

At the high level of activity in November, 12000 machine hours were run and power costs were $22000. In April, a month of low ac
NISA [10]

Answer:

The estimated fixed cost element of power costs is $10,000

Explanation:

For computing the fixed cost first we have to calculate the variable cost per unit which is shown below:

= (High power cost -  low power cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low machine hours)

= ($22,000 - $15,000) ÷ (12,000 - 5,000)

= $7,000 ÷ 7,000

= $1

Now the fixed cost would be

= (High power cost) - (high machine hours × variable cost per unit)

= $22,000 - 12,000 × $1

= $22,000 - $12,000

= $10,000

A portfolio management organization analyzes 60 stocks and constructs a mean-variance efficient portfolio using only these 60 se
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

In a single index model:

ri - rf = α i + β i (r M - rf ) + e i

Equivalently, using excess returns:

R i = α i + β i R M + e i

The variance of the rate of return can be decomposed into the components:

The variance due to the common market factor

Bi^2stdvm^2

The variance due to firm specific unanticipated events

STDV^2(ei)

In this model

Cov(ri,rj) =BiBjSTDV

The number of parameter estimates is:

n = 60 estimates of the mean E(ri )

n = 60 estimates of the sensitivity coefficient β i

n = 60 estimates of the firm-specific variance σ2(ei )

1 estimate of the market mean E(rM )

1 estimate of the market variance

Therefore, in total, 182 estimates.

The single index model reduces the total number of required estimates from 1,890 to 182. In general, the number of parameter estimates is reduced from:

(n^2 +3n / 2) to (3n+2)
