Answer:

the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude

Explanation:

A duopoly is when there are two firms operating in an industry.

Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

 the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude because it is the best outcome for both players. if, a player cheats, there is a chance that the other player would cheat and both firms would end up earning a zero economic profit

Answer:

The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.

The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.

Explanation:

a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:

We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.

b. The cost of equity using the SML method:

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.

=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
