A three-person committee has to choose a winner for a national art prize. After some debate, there are three candidates still un

der consideration: a woman who draws antelope in urban set- tings, a man who makes rectangular lead boxes, and a woman who sculpts charcoal. Letâs call these candidates a, b and c; and call the committee members 1, 2 and 3. The preferences of the committee members are as follows:
O member 1 prefers a to b and b to c;
O member 2 prefers c to a and a to b;
O and member 3 prefers b to c and c to a.
The rules of the competition say that, if they disagree, they should vote (secret ballot, one member one vote) and that, if and only if the vote is tied, the winner will be the candidate for whom member 1 voted. Thus, it might seem that member 1 has an advantage.
(a) Consider this voting game. Each voter has three strategies: a, b, or c. For each voter, which strategies are weakly or strictly dominated? [Hints. Be especially careful in the case of voter 1. To answer this question, you do not need to know the exact payoffs: any payoffs will do provided that they are consistent with the preference orders given above. To answer this question, you do not have to write out matrices].(b) Now consider the reduced game in which all weakly and strictly dominated strategies have been removed. For each voter, which strategies are now weakly or strictly dominated? What is the predicted outcome of the vote? Compare this outcome to voter 1âs preferences and comment.

Explanation:

The preference committee members are as follows:

Member 1 prefers a to b and b to c

Member 2 prefers c to a and a to b

Member 3 prefers b to c and c to a

The order of this problem can be solved:

Preference for 1, 2 and 3 are as below:

1. a then b then c

2. c then a then b

3. b then c then

Member 1 knowing advantage , will always disagree with 2 and 3 so that he can win when it comes to vote

So, 2 and 3 in order to win , will have to cooperate with each other.

As we can see that the least suitable option according to Member 2 and Member 3 are b and a respectively. Therefore they would not consider supporting either b or a.

So the possible option of Member 2 and Member 3 supporting will be C.

Therefore both 2 and 3 will agree on C.

The predicted outcome of the game is C.

a. Attracting large amounts of capital is more difficult for partnerships than for corporations because of such factors as unlim
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

Partnerships are organizations that share ownership of two or more people. Corporations, on the other hand, are owned by shareholders who decide how and who will run the business. Partnership owners are individually liable, implying that the owners' assets can be taken away in front of the debt.  

Debt or legal responsibility in companies is not individual. Liability is only dealt with at the company level. In reality, partnerships require reorganization when one of the partners is quitting or passing away, something that does not happen to corporations. For these factors, the majority of associations find it difficult to raise significant amounts of funds relative to companies.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Incremental net income from further processing is  $566,600

Explanation:

First of all, it would be necessary to compute profit from selling the product at cut off point and profit when it is further processed in order to determine whether or not it is worth processing further:

Sales revenue                                        $400,000

cost of production(19,000*$25)            $475,000

Loss from selling                                  ($75,000)

Further processing:

sales revenue

Product B(5200*$108)                       $561,600

Product C(11,000*$55)                       $605,000

Total revenue                                     $1,166,600

total cost

cost of production                              ($475,000)

cost of further processing                 ($200,000)

total costs                                           ($675,000)

Profit                                                    $491600

By further processing the incremental net profit is $566,600 ($491,600-(-$75000)

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $440,000, 6%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $434,000. Interest is pay
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

Explanation:

Face value of the bond = $440,000

Proceeds from bond issue = $434,000

Discount on bond payable = Face value of the bond - Proceeds from bond issue = $440,000 - $434,000 = $6,000

Total number of seminual = Number of years of bond maturity * Number of semiannual in a year = 10 * 2 = 20

Discount amortizaton per semiannual = Discount on bond payable / Total number of seminual = $6,000 / 20 = $300

Carrying value after first interest payment = Proceeds from bond issue + Discount amortizaton per semiannual = $434,000 + $300 = $434,300

Therefore, the carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.
