Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Wal-Mart employed a preemptive strategy.

Explanation:

Game Theory is a branch of Economy that studies the decisions in which an individual could succeed if he or she takes into account the decisions of the rest of the participants involved in the event. Game Theory has also been applied for subjects such as <em>Mathematics, Managements, Psychology </em>or <em>even Biology. </em>

In the game theory, the Preemptive Strategy is implemented when individuals take a step before other participants in an attempt of having a favorable outcome of the situation. They lead the event using creativity. Thus, <em>Wal-Mart used the preemptive strategy by opening stores in small towns that supported only one discount store.</em>

Newman Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $296,375 and has a guaranteed interest rate
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Investment period = 24 years

Explanation:

The total amount that an investment made today would become  if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.

The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)

(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375

(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504

find the log of both sides

n log 1.06= log 4.048924504

n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06

n = 24

It will take 24 years

An investor borrows an amount at an annual effective interest rate of 5% and will repay all interest and principal in a lump sum
Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. 101

Explanation:

first we must determine the amount of the loan:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3%)²⁰ = $553.68

PV of coupon payments = $40 x 14.877 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 20 periods) = $595.08

Loan amount = $1,148.76

Future value of the loan = $1,148.76 x (1 + 5%)¹⁰ = $1,871.21

You will receive 20 coupon payments of $40 each, which will be reinvested at 2% semiannual rate. You will also receive $1,000 corresponding to the face value of the bond.

Future value of the coupon payments = $40 x 24.297 (FV annuity factor, 2%, 20 periods)] = $971.88

Total money received at the end of the 10 year period = $971.88 + $1,000 = $1,971.88

Gain = $1,971.88 - $1,871.21 = $100.67 ≈ $101

Damm [24]

Answer:

Level of sales in dollars in order to generate a profit of $54,000 Fixed cost + Target profit/Contribution per unit $270,000 + $54,0000/0.75

= $432,000

Number of units to be sold

= Level of sales/Selling price

= $432,000/$36

= 12,000 units

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate level of sales in dollars, which is fixed cost plus target profit divided by contribution margin ratio. Then, we will calculate no of units to be sold, which is the level of sales divided by selling price.
