Answer:

The situation described in the question is referred to as the Prisoner's Dilemma.      

   

Explanation:

The prisoner's dilemma is an example of a situation in Game Theory.

Game Theory is a subject which can be found under behavioural economics with strong roots in psychology. It is related to the science of decision making in by people and how those decisions affect others. In the simplest of cases, just as is given in the question, the dynamics is between two individuals.

According to the theory, sometimes an equilibrium is reached. This point refers to point in a game or a scenario where the decision by the two individuals is firmed up and as a result, the consequences of such determined.

If the decision by each player is such that it can no longer be changed by any of the players in order to improve their benefits accruable, such decisions are referred to as the Nash Equilibrium.

Cheers!

Income tax = $55,000 October

Quarterly Dividend of $25,000 in November

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

Wayne worked in an office. He had no criminal record, had never had a complaint made against him about his work or his conduct,
boyakko [2]

Answer:

A) there was no way to foresee that the incident would happen.

Explanation:

Wayne hadn't done anything wrong before in the company, his behavior at the workplace could be described as very good; no complaint in 20 years and no criminal record what so ever. If Wayne was frustrated about his job, he disguised it very well. No one can predict this type of behavior if the person shows no prior signs of violence or frustration.
