Suppose there are only two firms that sell smart phones, Flashfone and Pictech. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in
o-na [289]

Answer:

The question is based on the economics theory named the game theory. Economists frequently use it to analyze the outcomes for adversary firms.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to pay attention to the best outcome for each firm given the choices of the other firm. So, when Pictech chooses a higher price, Flashfone should choose between a high or low price. The firms must keep choosing until they run out of options.

To have a dominant strategy, the firms should always choose a low price.

Based on the game theory:

If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses a (high,low) __low___ price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses a(high,low)____low___ price.

If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses a(high,low)_____low_price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses a (high,low) ___low___ price.

Considering all of the information given, pricing high (is, is not) __is not____ a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech.

They will end up choosing the low price strategy. Both Flashfone and Pictech will choose a low price.

The answer is true, because the prisioner's dilema is a game were both parties know that the outcome can be worse for both. So they rather play in a way that is better for their interests. In the firms' case, they could have choose higher prices, but  they didn't because each of them intented to charge a lower price and outsell the other firm. Meaning that, the one with the lower price, would sell more smartphones.

Garth owns two all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), worth $1,000 and $500, respectively. Helen agrees to buy "Garth’s ATV" for $750. Gar
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

There is no contract since both Helen and Garth made a mutual mistake.

In contract law, a mutual mistake occurs when all the parties involved (Helen and Garth) are mistaken about important material facts that affect the contract (which ATV is being sold). The parties intend to perform but what they consider being part of the contract is not what the other party considers part of the contract. When both parties make a mutual mistake, the contract is cancelled.

Mutual mistakes are not on purpose, they are mistakes committed in good faith.

A union election was held by the NLRB at Jaxon Industries, and 130 workers cast votes in the election. How many votes in favor o
zimovet [89]

Answer:

66

Explanation:

When union workers vote to elect their representatives, the representative must be elected by a simple majority of the votes. A simple majority means 50% plus 1. In this case 50% of 130 votes = 65 votes plus 1 = 66 votes.

Exclusive representation is a legal status that allows the elected representative the legal right to represent the union workers in different situations, e.g. collective bargaining

During March, Adams Company had sales of $5,000,000, variable expenses of $3,000,000, and fixed expenses of $1,500,000. Assume t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable cost as a percent of sales:  

= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100  

= 60%

If Sales = X

then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)

Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income

X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000

0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000

X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4

  = 4,500,000
