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).

Professor Shethinks Shesverybusy needs to allocate time this week for office appointments, so she needs to forecast the number o
Burka [1]

Answer: This Week's forecast  = 78 appointments

Explanation:

4 Weeks ago = 95 , 3 Weeks ago =80 , 2 Weeks ago = 65 , last Week = 50

forecast : 2 weeks ago = 90

alpha = 0.20

exponential smoothing = recent previous appointment x a + forecast(1-a)

Forecast (last week) = 65 x 0.20 + 90 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast (last week) = 13 + 72 = 85

Forecast for this week = 50 x 0.20 + 85 x (1 - 0.20)

Forecast for this week = 10 + 68 = 78

This Week's forecast would be 78 appointments

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

PRESENT= $5.21

COMPANY – A = $6.72

COMPANY – B= $6.64

Explanation:

Calculation for the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input

PRESENT

Average time =59 minutes

Cost=59 minutes x$1.30 per minute

Cost = $76.7

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$76.7

Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A

Average time= (59 minutes-16 minutes)

Average time=43 minutes

Cost= 43 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $3.60

Cost=$55. 9+$3.60

= $59.50

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$59.50

Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B

Average time= (59 minutes - 17 minutes)

Average time=42 minutes

Cost= 42 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $5.60

Cost=$54. 6+$5.60

= $60.20

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$60.20

Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

Summary

PRESENT:Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A:Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B:Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

Therefore COMPANY – A with the amount of $6.72 would have the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input because it has the highest amount.
