Answer: The corrects answers are: "a. If both firms are localized in position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line), neither firm has incentives to deviate and move to a different position.", "c. If Firm localize at the same point along the line, they will each sell to 50% of the consumers." and "d. If Firm 1 is located at position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line) and firm 2 is located somewhere else, then both firms have incentives to deviate and change their position along the line.".
Explanation: According to the Hotelling model of the competition between two firms:
a. If both firms are localized in position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line), neither firm has incentives to deviate and move to a different position. - If this were the case, it would be indifferent for customers to go to either.
c. If Firm localize at the same point along the line, they will each sell to 50% of the consumers. - This happens because each consumer will go to the nearest one.
d. If Firm 1 is located at position 1/2 (i.e., center of the line) and firm 2 is located somewhere else, then both firms have incentives to deviate and change their position along the line. - This happens because the strategy chosen is not suitable for either company.

c. 16.35%
Explanation:
a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle?
The formula for the value of a Perpetuity is;
Value = Payment/ rate
Rate = Payment/ Value
Rate = 1,450/114,000
= 0.0127
= 1.27%
b. What is the APR?
APR is the annual rate. The above figure is the monthly rate.
APR = Monthly rate * 12
= 1.27 * 12
= 15.24%
c. What is the effective annual return?
Effective annual return = [1 + (APR/n)]^n – 1
n is the number of compounding periods which is 12 here for monthly compounding.
= [1 + (15.24%/12)]^12– 1
= 16.35%
Answer:
c.$87,400 $(15,700)
