Answer:

The manager should pick project B

Explanation:

To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

NPV for project A

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-335,000

year 1 = $140,000

year 2 = $150,000

year 3 = $100,000

I = 6%

NPV= $14,536.87

NPV for project B

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-365,000

year 1 = $220,000

year 2 = $110,000

year 3 = $150,000

I = 6%

NPV= $66,389.67

Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Answer:

Non-price competition

Explanation:

Non-price competition is when producers use other factors other than the price of their good or service to raise the demand for their product.

Optimax is trying to increase its market share by changing the container for its product. This is non price competition.

Price war is when producers lower the price of their goods in an attempt to increase the demand for their product.

Price leadership is when the dominant firm in an industry sets the market price.

Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip use
Dima020 [189]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a) When both Hitachi and Toshiba engage in a limited campaign, they both earn $11 million.

If both engage in an extensive campaign they both earn $8 million.

However, if one firm engages in an extensive campaign and the other firm engages in a limited one, the firm engaging in a limited campaign earns $4 million while the one engaging in an extensive campaign earns $16 million.

I have attached a photo to show the payoff matrix as a table.

b) In the absence of a binding and enforceable agreement, that is to say that if both firms are not colluding, Hitachi's dominant strategy would be to engage in an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

A Firm's dominant strategy in absence of an agreement is that strategy that a firm can go on and make a maximum amount of profit regardless of what the other firm does.

Should Hitachi engage in an Extensive Campaign, they will make $16 million in quarterly profit if Toshiba engages in a Limited Campaign. Should Toshiba also decide to engage in an Extensive Campaign, then Hitachi makes a profit of $8 million. This is therefore their best alternative as opposed to embarking on a limited Campaign where there is a chance that they will make $4 million.

With the Extensive Campaign, Hitachi's Minimum Payoff is $8 million.

c) The game is the same for both players so the best option for Hitachi, is the best option for Toshiba as well. This means that Toshiba's dominant Strategy is an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN and their minimum payoff is $8 million as well.
