1) Increase
As business is optimistic about its future, such business will start capacity expansion to cater for consumer demand.
2) Decrease
Higher real interest rate simply means borrowing cost is higher for the firms and so that they will reduce the investment in respose to that.
3) Decrease
A lower tax means higher profits and firms can pass these benefits to consumers with lower prices, to employees with higher wages and to the government with tax on profit. However, if the rate of tax itself has been increased then in that case corporates will see higher tax as a dampener in sentiments and they might curtail investment plans.

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.
Explanation:
Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.
If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.
If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,
= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million
= $6 million.
A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.
If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.
With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.
However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.
This question provides the defition for a producer cooperative
Answer:
$372,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount to be reported in the balance sheet is shown below:
= Number of shares of common stock × fair value of the Papa stock on that date per share
= 6,200 shares × $60
= $372,000
Since in the question it is given that the Nana company does not have significant influence over Papa Company which means that the net income, retained earning, dividend is not be considered.
Therefore, the investment should be reported at the fair value
