Answer: true, there is an equilibrium.

Explanation:

the above game is a pure strategy. A pure strategy occur when the game is strictly determined. the criteria used to determine the pure strategy is maxi-min and min-max. max-min means selecting the least case from all best cases and min-max means selecting the best from all least cases.

Base on the criterion, the least out of all best for max-min is 1 unit and the best out of all least cases for min-max is 1 unit. the max-min is equal to the min-max,hence it strictly determined and therefore a pure strategy.

The following information is provided for Slickers, Inc. for year 2016: • Preferred stock, 5%, $20 par value, 1,500 shares issue
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2016 is $4000

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred shares are the shares that accumulate dividends in case the dividends on these shares are not paid or paid partially in a year. The accumulated dividends will need to be paid first whenever the company declares dividends.

The amounts of dividends on preferred share for one year is,

Dividends - Preferred shares = 20 * 0.05 * 1500  =  $1500

Thus, the accumulated dividends on these preferred shares at start of 2016 is,

Accumulated dividends - Preferred shares = 1500 * 3 = $4500

The common shares holders are paid after the preferred share holders have been paid. This means that we will deduct the amount of accumulated dividends on preferred shares and the dividends for this year on preferred shares from the total dividends to calculate the amount to be paid to common share holders as dividends.

Common stock dividends =  10000 - (4500 + 1500)   = $4000

Complete the sentences. Yellowstone National Park is​ ______. A. a natural monopoly good B. a private good C. a common resource
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1)  "B": a common resource.

2) "A": excludable and rival.

Explanation:

1) A common resource is one that provides tangible benefits. This is the type of resource that can be used by several people at the same time without excluding the availability for its use to others. If they are not owned by anyone they take the name of open-access resources.

2) A good is excludable and rival if someone can prevent the use of it and when its use necessarily implies others not using it. Under this category fall all private resources since their ownership belongs to a certain number of people only if not only one.
