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

Alja [10]

Answer:

  • The lessee reports a single amount of lease expense, which is equal to interest expense plus amortization expense, in its income statement.
  • The lessee reports lease expense on a straight-line basis and the lessor reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Explanation:

An operating lease is basically renting an asset from a lessor where the lessee will pay a certain amount every period for the use of the asset.

This rent payment is equal to the interest expense plus amortization expense and will be reported in the income statement of the lessee as an expense.

This amount will also be reported on a straight-line basis for the duration of the lease term which means that even if rent increases, it will still have to be reported by the same amount over the lease period because the lease increase should have been taken into account already.

The lessor also reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
