Suppose Jacques and Kyoko are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri

x that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Jacques chooses Right and Kyoko chooses Right, Jacques will receive a payoff of 5 and Kyoko will receive a payoff of 3Kyoko Left Right 3,72,6 4,5 Left Jacques Right 3,8 The only dominant strategy in this game is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses_and Kyoko chooses

Answer: 1. Jacques picks Right

2. Jacques picks Right and Kyoko picks Right.

Explanation:

Hello.

I wasn't quite clear on your question so I added an attachment with the full question.

1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for ____Jacques____ to choose ___Right____.

The Dominant strategy for a player is that strategy that will result in the highest payoff independent of the actions of the other player.

If Jacques plays Right, they will have more or equal payouts but never less than Left regardless of what Kyoko does. Therefore choosing Right is Jacques's Dominant strategy.

2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses___Right_______and Kyoko chooses ____Right_____.

Jacques will go with their dominant strategy of picking Right. This will make Kyoto pick the alternative of Right that results in the higher payoff. They make a payoff of 8 if they pick Right as well so that is what they will do.

If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Becton Labs, Inc.

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance

= $20,600 Favorable

Quantity variance

= $1,890 Unfavorable

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance

= $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old mix may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased with the new mix labor mix.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= $2,380 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard  Costs for 1 Unit of Fludex:

                                              Standard              Standard      Standard Cost

                                        Quantity or Hours   Price or Rate  

Direct materials                     2.40 ounces    $27.00 per ounce   $64.80

Direct labor                           0.60 hours        $12.00 per hour          7.20

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             0.60 hours          $3.50 per hour          2.10

Total standard cost per unit                                                           $74.10

Activities recorded during November:

a. Materials purchased = 13,000 ounces at $330,300

Each ounce = $25.41 (330,300/13,000)

b. Materials used for production = 10,150 ounces (13,000 - 2,850)

Standard materials = 4,200 * 2.40 = 10,080 ounces

c. Direct labor hours = 20 * 160 = 3,200 hours

Standard labor hours = 0.60 * 4,200 = 2,520

Average labor rate = $11.00 per hour

Direct labor costs = $35,200 ($11.00 * 3,200)

d. Standard variable overhead = $11,200 (3,200 *$3.50)

Actual overhead incurred = $6,000

Actual overhead rate = $1.43 ($6,000/4,200)

e. Units produced = 4,200

1. Direct materials:

a. Price variance = (Actual price - standard price)* Actual units

= ($25.41 - $27.00)13,000 = $20,600 F

Quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) Standard Cost

= (10,150 - 10,080) * $27.00

= $1,890 U

b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.

2. Direct labor:

a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours

= ($11 - $12) * 3,200 = $3,200 Favorable

Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $12

= $8,160 Unfavorable

b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued.  The old may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased.

3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:

Variable overhead rate variance = Actual costs − (AH × SR)

= $6,000 - (3,200 * $3.50)

= $6,000 - $11,200

= $5,200 Favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance =  (AH − SH) × SR

= (3,200 - 2,520) * $3.50

= $2,380 Unfavorable

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

13.75%

Explanation:

Calculation for what will be the company's return on equity

First step

Asset Turnover Ratio= Net Sales / Total Assets ------(1)

Given Asset Turnover Ratio =2.7

=> 2.7 = 4,000,000/ Total Assets (from equation 1)

=>Total Assets = 1,481,481 ------(2)

Second step

ROE = Net Income / Equity

Net Income = (EBIT - Interest Charges) *(1-tax rate)

Net Income = (356,000 -168,000) *(1-35%)

Net Income = $122,200 --------(3)

Equity = Total Assets *(1-debt ratio)

Equity = 1,481,481*(1-0.4) = $888,889 --------(4)

From equation 3 and 4

ROE = Net Income / Equity

ROE= 122,200/888,889

ROE =0.1375*100

ROE=13.75%

Therefore ROE will be 13.75%

4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there is no further information about the case of study, we can say that the question possible refers to the case where the name of the company is just "The Client." The name of the document is "Leading Innovation Change - The Kotter Way."  

This case refers to the challenges faced by an organization when it is time to innovate. Many members want to innovate but the culture of the company or the lack of proper leadership from managers often hinders the innovation efforts of the company.

So some of the elements of Kotter's Eight Stages of Leading Change that were included in the case were the following.

Create Urgency. The creation of new products of the company was limited and was not enough to compete in the future. A sense of urgency was needed to implement innovation.

Form a Powerful coalition. The company had to be very selective about the kinds of products that could help it to successfully compete in the future. The company had to use the best it had to establish priorities.

Create a vision for change. It was critical for the company to establish a new vision to get the results it needed. A renovation of the processes to face new necessities was imperative. Change has to be part of every member's mind.

Communicate the vision. This new vision had to be shared through the entire company. The members had to understand the importance of the innovative practices and each and every one of them had to be part of this new mentality.
