Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
<u>a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes </u>
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
<u>b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then </u>
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Answer:
Ans. The average annual rate of return over the four years is 2.792%
Explanation:
Hi, first let´s introduce the formula to use
![r(Average)=\sqrt[n]{(1+r(1))*(1+r(2))*(1+r(3))+...(1+r(n))}-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28Average%29%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B%281%2Br%281%29%29%2A%281%2Br%282%29%29%2A%281%2Br%283%29%29%2B...%281%2Br%28n%29%29%7D-1)
Where:
r(1),(2),(3)...n are the returns in each period of time
n =number of returns to average (in our case, n=4).
With that in mind, let´s find the average annual return over this four years.
![r(Average)=\sqrt[4]{(1+0.025)*(1+0.025)*(1+0.12)+(1-0.07))} -1=0.022792](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%28Average%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%281%2B0.025%29%2A%281%2B0.025%29%2A%281%2B0.12%29%2B%281-0.07%29%29%7D%20-1%3D0.022792)
Therefore, the average annual return of this invesment in 4 years is 2.2792%
Best of luck.
Answer:
Please refer to the below for Journal entries
Explanation:
The journal entries are seen below
1. Cash A/c Dr $58,523
Discount on bond payable A/c Cr $4,477
To bonds payable A/c Cr $63,000
(Being the issuance of bond that is recorded)
2. Interest expense A/c Dr $2,048
To discount payable A/c Cr $158
To cash A/c Cr $1,890
(Being the first interest payment that is recorded)
Note:
Interest expense
= $58,523 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12
= $2,048
Cash
= $63,000 × 6% × 6 months ÷ 12
= $1,890
Answer:
$889.70
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment
where,
The Initial investment is $10,000
All yearly cash flows would be
= Annual amount received × PVIFA for 4 years at 4%
= $3,000 × 3.6299
= $10,889.70
Refer to the PVIFA table
So, the net present value is
= $10,889.70 - $10,000
= $889.70
