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

-- to record December 31st, 2021--

Explanation:

First, we solve for the proceeds from the bonds payable:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 26,100 (435,000 x 12% / 2)

time 8 ( 4 years x 2)

yield to maturity  0.04 ( 8% / 2)

26100 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-8} }{0.04} = PV\\

PV $175,724.6412

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   435,000.00

time   8.00

rate  0.04

\frac{435000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} } = PV  

PV   317,850.24

PV c $175,724.6412

PV m  $317,850.2392

Total $493,574.8804

We now build the amortization schedule.

We take this value, we multiply by the interest rate and then, solve for amortization and ending carrying value.

<u>To record the redemption:</u>

accrued interest:

435,000 x 0.12 x 4/12 (months from June to oct) = 17,400

premium:

480,606.6 - 435,000 = 45,606.6

proportional of premium:

45,606 / 435,000 x 130,500 = 13.681,98

we now solve for the gain/loss on redemption:

130,500 + 13,681.98 + 17,400 = 161.581,9 value redeem

                                      for cash 136,500

gain on redemption 25.081,98

bonds payable    130,500.00 debit

premium on bp       13,681.98 debit

interest expense    17,400.00 debit

      gain on redemption           25,081.98 credit

       cash                                 136,500.00 credit

Now, we solve for Dec 31st, 2021 entry.

bonds payable: 435,000 - 130,500 = 304,500

premium: 45,606 - 13,681.98 = 31.924,02

interest expense:

(304,500 + 31,924.02) x 0.04 = 13,456.96

cash outlay:

304,500 x 0.06 = 18,270

amortization 18,270 - 13,456.96 = 4,813.04

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Range of price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is from (-0.5) to (-0.3).

Explanation:

Percentage increase in price = 10%

Percentage reduction in quantity demanded = 3% to 5%

We are taking percentage change in the quantity demanded is equal to 3% for now.

Initial price elasticity of demand for cigarettes:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -3 ÷ 10

= -0.3

Now, we are taking percentage change in the quantity demanded is equal to 5%.

price elasticity of demand cigarettes:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -5 ÷ 10

= -0.5

Therefore, the range of price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is from (-0.5) to (-0.3).
