Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.

Rick has met with the Small Business Administration, which analyzed his entrepreneurial skills and provided him with a summary o

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

c) Rick has an external locus of control.

Explanation:

What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.

The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.

german

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue = $1.00 $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense $0.02

Total variable costs per unit $0.21 $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79 $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing $900,000

Advertising 500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000 $1,435,000

Net income = $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15) to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

= $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%
