Answer:
When ATC curve is decreasing, we know that the MC curve is
below the ATC curve, and when the ATC curve is increasing, we know that MC is above the ATC curve
Explanation:
ATC refers to average total cost and MC refers to marginal cost, these both curve derive from total cost when MC is below ATC curve it shows that MC is less than ATC at that point ATC is falling.
Likewise, when MC is above ATC curve it shows MC is grater than ATC curve and at that point ATC is rising.
furthermore, when MC is equal to ATC at that point ATC is at minimum point.
Answer: Martha does not have a dominant strategy
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is one that a player can embark on and get the highest payoff regardless of the actions of their competitor.
In this scenario, there is no strategy that Martha can embark on that would provide the greatest payout regardless of Oleg's decision. If Martha advertises, Oleg makes the same amount advertising as well. If Martha does not advertise, Oleg would decide not to advertise as well and make the same amount.
Martha therefore has no dominant strategy as Oleg would make the same amount regardless of which decision is taken.

Answer:
0.4868%
$615.47
Explanation:
Given that
a. EAR = 6%
Thus,
Equivalent monthly rate = (1 + r)^n - 1
Where r = EAR
Therefore
= (1 + 0.06)^1/12 - 1
= 1.0048675 - 1
= 0.0048675 × 100
= 0.4868%
b. Given that
Monthly rate = 0.4868%
Future value = 100,000
Time = 10 years
Recall that
FV annuity formula = C × (1/r) × ([1 + r ]^n - 1)
Where
C = payment
Therefore
100000 = C (1/0.004868) × ([1 + 0.004868]^120 - 1)
C = 100,000/(1/0.004868) × ([1 + 0.004868]^120 - 1)
C = $615.47 per month
